This album is proof positive that when Aretha was "on," no one could touch her!! Vocally, she was awesome -- all of the acrobatics, squalls, and different shadings of her early 70's work are here, with a range that can at times just leave you dumbfounded. (You wonder what kind of faces she made when she hit some of those notes!) This album was recorded when she still chose to play the piano, and it's a treat. TRACKLISTING - 1. Son Of A Preacher Man (3.20), 2. Share Your Love with Me (3.22), 3. Dark End Of The Street (4.42), 4. Let It Be (3.33), 5. Eleanor Rigby (2.38), 6. This Girl's In Love With You (4.01), 7.
