pop sensation, was no fluke. Her performances were more impassioned than on her debut, and the material just as strong, an inspired blend of covers and originals from the best songwriters in soul and pop music. The opener, \"Chain of Fools,\" became the biggest hit, driven by a chorus of cascading echoes by Franklin and her bedrock backing vocalists, the Sweet Impressions, plus the unforgettable, earthy guitar work of guest Joe South. The album's showpiece, though, was \"(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman,\" a song written expressly for her by Brill Building pop stalwarts Gerry Goffin and Carole King, based on a title coined by producer Jerry Wexler. One of the landmark performances in pop music, the song floats serenely through the verses until, swept up by Ralph Burns' stirring string arrangement again and again, Franklin opens up on the choruses with one of the most transcendent vocals of her career. And just as she'd previously transformed a soul classic (Otis Redding's \"Respect\") into a signature piece of her own, Franklin courageously reimagined songs by heavyweights James Brown, Ray Charles, and the Impressions. Brown's \"Money Won't Change You\" is smooth and kinetic, her testifying constantly reinforced by interjections from the Sweet Inspirations. Curtis Mayfield's \"People Get Ready,\" a 1965 civil-rights anthem and a hit for the Impressions, is taken at a slower pace than the original; after a quiet verse, Franklin lets loose amidst a magisterial brass arrangement by Arif Mardin. Powered by three hit singles (each nested in the upper reaches of the pop Top Ten), Lady Soul became Aretha Franklin's second gold LP and remained on the charts for over a year.” AllMusic Review by

featuring one of the most pop-averse artists in soul music surprisingly offering interpretations of contemporary hit material like \"A Song for You,\" \"He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother,\" \"Magnificent Sanctuary Band,\" and (most effectively) \"Put Your Hand in the Hand,\" a laidback yet rolling, gospel-choir version of the song he was born to sing. In striking contrast to his debut, Donny Hathaway is a very dark record, and it opens on a particularly low note, with \"Giving Up\" (a 1964 R\u0026amp;B hit for Gladys Knight \u0026amp; the Pips). Most of Hathaway's performances are slow, piano-led laments, powerfully delivered but with little melodic sway to convert listeners. It's no coincedence then, that the only up-tempo song, \"Magnificent Sanctuary Band,\" is the standout. \"Little Girl\" is a nice piece of gospel testifying with great male harmonizing on the chorus, and \"He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother\" is a solid rendering of a song usually drenched in pathos. Still, whereas Everything Is Everything saw him leading the choir up in the front of church, Donny Hathaway sounds like the lament of a man alone in the sanctuary after services are finished.” AllMusic Review by John Bush\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRatings\u003c\/strong\u003e : \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAllMusic : 3 \/ 5 ,  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDiscogs \u003c\/span\u003e:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ratingValue\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e4.44\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\/ 5 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AudioSoundMusic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53753925435727,"sku":"SCR-33360","price":38.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0575\/3811\/7783\/files\/DonnyHathaway_DonnyHathaway1.jpg?v=1732703219"},{"product_id":"aretha-franklin-i-never-loved-a-man-the-way-i-love-you2lp-45rpm","title":"Aretha Franklin - I Never Loved A Man The Way I Love You (2LP, 45RPM)","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAretha Franklin – Composer, Piano, vocals \u003ca title=\"vinyl featuring Aretha Franklin\" href=\"https:\/\/www.audiosoundmusic.com\/collections\/aretha-franklin\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff8000;\"\u003e[click here to see more vinyl featuring Aretha Franklin]\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCarolyn Franklin : Background Vocals\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKing Curtis : Sax (Tenor)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChips Moman : Guitar\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCharles Chalmers : Sax (Tenor)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDewey Oldham : Keyboards\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGene Chrisman : Drums\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJimmy Johnson : Guitar\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJoe Arnold : Sax (Tenor)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMelvin Lastie : Cornet, Trumpet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTommy Cogbill : Bass\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWillie Bridges : Sax (Baritone)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArranged \u0026amp;

Much of the credit is due to producer Jerry Wexler, who finally unleashed the soulful intensity so long kept under wraps during her Columbia tenure; assembling a crack Muscle Shoals backing band along with an abundance of impeccable material, Wexler creates the ideal setting to allow Aretha to ascend to the throne of Queen of Soul, and she responds with the strongest performances of her career. While the brilliant title track remains the album's other best-known song, each cut on I Never Loved a Man is touched by greatness; covers of Ray Charles' \"Drown in My Own Tears\" and Sam Cooke's \"Good Times\" and \"A Change Is Gonna Come\" are on par with the original recordings, while Aretha's own contributions -- \"Don't Let Me Lose This Dream,\" \"Baby, Baby, Baby,\" \"Save Me,\" and \"Dr. Feelgood (Love Is a Serious Business)\" -- are perfectly at home in such lofty company.

Much of the credit is due to producer Jerry Wexler, who finally unleashed the soulful intensity so long kept under wraps during her Columbia tenure; assembling a crack Muscle Shoals backing band along with an abundance of impeccable material, Wexler creates the ideal setting to allow Aretha to ascend to the throne of Queen of Soul, and she responds with the strongest performances of her career. While the brilliant title track remains the album's other best-known song, each cut on I Never Loved a Man is touched by greatness; covers of Ray Charles' \"Drown in My Own Tears\" and Sam Cooke's \"Good Times\" and \"A Change Is Gonna Come\" are on par with the original recordings, while Aretha's own contributions -- \"Don't Let Me Lose This Dream,\" \"Baby, Baby, Baby,\" \"Save Me,\" and \"Dr. Feelgood (Love Is a Serious Business)\" -- are perfectly at home in such lofty company.

Backed up by Atlantic's top session men, as well as Billy Preston and the Memphis Horns, Curtis rips through some of the biggest hits of the day, transforming them into showcases for his soulful playing and the group's outstanding rhythmic interplay. Beautiful renditions of \"A Whiter Shade of Pale\" and \"I Stand Accused\" are highlights, but it's full-throttle rockers like \"Changes\" and \"Memphis Soul Stew\" that comprise the heart of the album. Curtis occasionally gets lost in the mix, but it doesn't matter; with so much great music going on, you probably won't notice. » AllMusic Review by Jim Smith\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRatings\u003c\/strong\u003e : \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cspan size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cspan size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Times New Roman\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAllMusic : 4,5 \/ 5 ; Discogs : 4.78 \/ 5 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e","brand":"AudioSoundMusic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57450257908047,"sku":"C048","price":97.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0575\/3811\/7783\/files\/Captured_ecran2026-04-12a18.35.53.png?v=1776610841"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.audiosoundmusic.com\/collections\/king-curtis.oembed","provider":"AudioSoundMusic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
