Product Description

Amazing Grace Disc One by FRANKLIN, ARETHA

Amazon.com

Originally released as a double LP in 1972, Amazing Grace cracked the Billboard Top Ten upon its release, making it one of the bestselling gospel records of all time. Grace was recorded in a large Baptist church with an ultraenthusiastic, loving audience in the pews and a full, funky, band as well as the Southern California Community Choir under the direction of her mentor Rev. James Cleveland. Her voice is melismatic and intensely emotional, yet pure and controlled--as if she were directly channeling the Holy Ghost. Aretha's father, the brilliant preacher Rev. C.L. Franklin, makes a brief, proud appearance, remarking how "she has never left the church!" Highlights include the beautiful "Wholy Holy," an 11-minute, heart-stopping "Amazing Grace," and Inez Andrews's stirring song "Mary, Don't You Weep." Way more than a return-to-the-roots record, the set is an inspired gospel-soul workout that arguably showcases Aretha's strongest singing ever. --Mike McGonigal

Just the Best, the Very Best

September 16, 2016

Format: MP3 MusicVerified Purchase

This is simply one of the greatest recordings ever made, a high priestess at her highest, backed by an amazing choir and recorded in a church packed with true believers. American music doesn't get any more exhilarating or any more spiritual than this, Aretha has her toe plugged directly into the socket of the holy.

HE WHO FUNKS BEHIND THE ROWS!!

The Bridge Between The Old Time Gospel Of Mahalia, Marion, Clara & Others and What Became Known As Contemporary Gospel!!

November 9, 2009

Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase

This album is timeless, powerful, poignant and very very signifigant
in the evolution of gospel! What you are witnessing on this album is not
just soulful and brilliant singing in the true old school gospel tradition,
but also a changing of the guard!---Mahalia Jackson, the reigning and (in my book)
the eternal queen of gospel, passed away right before this album was released in January of 1972,
and Aretha, the heir apparent and reigning queen of soul sang at her funeral.
I would call that a passing of the baton.
If that weren't enough, both her mentor in gospel singing, the legendary Clara Ward
and Sister Rosetta Tharpe both passed away in 1973.
Aretha also sang at Clara Ward's funeral.
So if that wasn't the flame being passed on and kept, I don't know what is!
And keep the flame she did!---What you have in this amazing 2-CD set is some
soul-stirring, heaven-inspired, transcendant singing by Aretha accompanied by her
other mentor, the late great and equally revolutionary Rev. James Cleveland and his
very capable Southern California Community Choir!
The arrangements are still moving and anchor Aretha's raise-the-rafters voice to the tee!
This was Aretha when she was ARETHA!!---The unparalleled voice of a generation!
She was without peer during this time...before age, weight, cigarettes, etc.,
took their toll on her once magnificent vocal instrument!---Aretha to the 100th power!
Not only does she make you hear her!---She makes you FEEL HER!!
Just put it on from start to finish and be taken on a spiritual journey!
If ever there was a marking of when the old school gospel became the new school
contemporary kind, then this surely was the first wave!
This album stayed on the R&B/Soul as well as the gospel charts for almost 10 years!
That is a feat that has yet to be topped by anybody in gospel today!
To say that this album is a landmark is an understatement of the highest order!
If you don't already have it, buy it!---You won't regret it!
Let the church say AMEN!! (-:

Truly One of a Kind Recording!

July 17, 2013

Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase

Many music critics agree this is probably one of the finest gospel albums ever recorded. This live, two-CD set is Aretha's crowning homage to her gospel roots and shows her dynamic vocal range. Whether handling material from secular-inspired artists like Carole King (You've Got a Friend) and Marvin Gaye (Wholly Holy), to more traditional songs like What a Friend We Have in Jesus, How I Got Over, and searing arrangements of gospel classics like Mary Don't You Weep and Never Grow Old, and the10-minute title track will enthrall and move you like no other singer can. Produced by music industry veterans Jerry Wexler and Arif Mardin the 14 tracks on this CD were recorded live at the New Temple Missionary Baptist Church in Los Angles, California. The post-mixing and editing captures every audience nuance and there's an excellent quality to the balancing between Aretha's vocals, accompanying band, background choir, and even the remarks between songs by her father Rev. C.L. Franklin and church pastor, the stalwart Rev. James Cleveland. Whether you are a fan of gospel music or not I urge you to own this amazing recording simply because it's just another example of Aretha Franklin at her finest!

Nothing but the best

Format: MP3 MusicVerified Purchase

For forty years now, this is the ONLY gospel music album I have ever loved. I have many gospel music albums in my personal music collection, but this album is the only album I will ever listen to. That's how good this album is, going way back. In my opinion, everybody on the face of this earth should own this album.

Cassette, CD, and lost them both. I found this on vinyl and now it's under lock and key. If an album is so good that you purchase it three times. It's definitely work a look for anyone!

Love this album and Aretha!

December 31, 2011

Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase

When i was little my mother listened to this album all the time. She loved it so much she, my sister and i actually sang lead on a few of the songs in our church choir. I own my mother's original black round album. I had no way to play it (we live in the cd, dvd, blu-ray world now) and who wants to hear those hisses and scratch sounds, not me. So i finally was able to get it from Amazon in cd form when it came back in stock. Love listening and singing along. Brings tears to my eye's and a smile to my face.

LOVE YOU MA! R.I.P. Indeed, WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS!!
