If you were considering this interesting collection as a musical backdrop to an evening of romance, you'd be far better served by any number of slow-jam collections. While Franklin's vocal performances here include some of the best of her Atlantic recordings, the song choices lack conformity. The queen of soul recorded a slew of great ballads during her 12-year tenure with the label and fortunately some of those cuts are included: only Franklin aficionados may be familiar with standout album tracks like the wonderful "You and Me," the wistful "If You Don't Think," and the mellow "Crazy He Calls Me." But was it necessary to include "Baby I Love You," "A Natural Woman," and "Something He Can Feel" for the umpteenth time in a Franklin package? The musical flow isn't as smooth as one might like from a love-songs collection, but Aretha prevails regardless. --David Nathan --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

This is the collection I've been waiting for! It is time for everyone to experience that pure, beautiful sultry voice of Aretha at her best, interpreting those glorius love songs from back in the day. There are too many younger folk who have not had the luxury of hearing the real purity of her voice. With these wonderful arrangements and her unique interpretations, you will listen again and again and rediscover what really made her great!

Beautiful melodies are not written like this anymore and those rich arrangements are so nostalgic. Noone but Aretha and that pure vocalizing back in the day could do justice to those tunes.For those of you who are to young to remember the Aretha of the 60's,get this CD and enjoy!
