Product Description

Aretha Franklin's self-titled album, "Aretha," released on January 1, 1980, under Arista Records, is a soulful journey through the queen of soul's iconic sound. This 39-minute masterpiece seamlessly blends genres, offering a rich tapestry of soul, Motown, and jazz blues that showcases Aretha Franklin's unparalleled vocal prowess and artistic versatility.

The album opens with the inviting "Come to Me," setting the stage for a collection that includes both original tracks and well-crafted covers. "Can't Turn You Loose" and "School Days" are standout tracks that highlight Franklin's ability to infuse classic songs with her unique spirit and power. Her rendition of "What a Fool Believes," originally by The Doobie Brothers, is a testament to her ability to make any song her own.

"United Together" and "Together Again" underscore the album's theme of unity and connection, with Franklin's voice serving as the binding force. The heartfelt ballad "Love Me Forever" showcases her tender side, while "Take Me with You" and "Whatever It Is" demonstrate her dynamic range and emotional depth.

"Aretha" is not just an album; it's a celebration of Aretha Franklin's enduring legacy and her ability to captivate audiences with her timeless music. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to her work, this album is a must-experience, offering a glimpse into the soulful world of one of music's most beloved artists.

  • Aretha's 80s Peak

    4 out of 5 stars
    Qmuduw14 December 2025United States🇺🇸

    In this album, Aretha Franklin is at her peak during the '80s. It's a really strong record and sounds fantastic.

  • Warhol Reissue Must-Have

    5 out of 5 stars
    xhiisoqawv30 November 2025United States🇺🇸

    This might just be the top reissue of this album. The artwork on this awesome "Warhol" cover is fantastic, and the "Warhol" sketch on the inner sleeve is just as impressive. Even as a "numbered" edition, it's still a steal. The "Green Vinyl" version, at least for me, makes it even more of a must-have. And let's not forget the guest appearances by Kieth Richards and Ron Wood!

  • Mixed Bag, Great Pressing

    4 out of 5 stars
    YxedLoqOO2 June 2025United States🇺🇸

    While this release is a bit of a mixed bag and feels a tad out of order in places, it's a fantastic pressing with great mastering. The artwork is top-notch and comes with the original inner liner notes. If you're only after “I Knew You Were Waiting For Me”, you're still getting a winner.

  • 80s Soul Brilliance

    4 out of 5 stars
    Riwuvl23 July 2024United States🇺🇸

    Amazing album featuring incredible tunes, Aretha's stunning vocals, and a brilliant arrangement! This is what music was all about in the 80s!
