Amazon.com essential recording

This is the album on which Aretha finds her voice. She'd previously recorded for another label, but this Atlantic debut created the sound that has come to define her. The tracks read like a greatest hits collection: "Respect," "Do Right Woman, Do Right Man," "Dr. Feelgood," "Baby, Baby, Baby," "A Change Is Gonna Come," and the title track. She's alternately pumped full of soul or scraping her inner being to find more. A classic. --Robert Gordon

Customer Reviews:

FOREVER ARETHA, FOREVER THE QUEEN OF SOUL.......2007-03-08

If you don't have this CD in your collection, you are truly missing a treasure. With this CD, we see "Aretha" bringing the "fervor" of gospel music to the world of circular music in a way that no other African-American musical artist has done with the exception of Ray Charles and James Brown. She is unapologetic as she lets her voice soar to a spiritual place that can only be reached by someone who's church upbringing is as much a part of her being as the water she drinks and the air she breaths. You will "go to church" when you hear her sing Sam Cooke's "A Change is Gonna Come" and the song that has become every woman's anthem, "Respect".

On this CD, Aretha not only defines Rhythmn and Blues; she also defines her version of the Blues. Her Blues is not the Blues of Big Mama Thorton, KoKo Taylor, or Etta James. Aretha's Blues doesn't try to compete or "rock" like a man's Blues. Aretha's Blues is a woman's Blues--smart, sassy, pleading, proud, and defiant all at the same time. One gets to feel it all when she belts out "I Never Loved A Man the Way I Love You," "Soul Serenade," and "Do Right Woman, Do Right Man".

And the piano playing--yes, that's Aretha--that pure syncopated gospel style that many church going African Americans take for granted on any given Sunday morning.

Add this body of work to your Aretha collection. You won't have the blues for long and you will come to understand what it means to "go to church."

Soul is a Serious Business - and She's Got it Down!.......2007-02-23

Yeah, I've always been a fan of Aretha's. But I gained a new appreciation for her upon hearing this soul landmark. It's seriously up there with those Sly Stone and Stevie Wonder classics. She is, simply, the ultimate soul singer, with the ultimate soul anthem to her credit: Respect. She took the Otis Redding song and gave it quite the makeover. Sure, Otis' version is great, but this one puts it and any other covers of it to shame and back. The rest of the album lives in Respect's shadow, but there's lots more to like about it: the bluesy title track, for one, as well as moving versions of Do-Right Woman, Do-Right Man and Sam Cooke's oft-covered A Change is Gonna Come. Speaking of covers, I love her versions of Drown in My Own Tears and Good Times. Sure, both are overrecorded, but Aretha somehow gives them personality. And Dr. Feelgood has to be her most underrated. Even a few of the minor tracks (Soul Serenade; Baby, Baby, Baby, Save Me) would've led the way on a lesser album.
Be sure to buy this. I know that most consider soul a more singles-based genre than an album-based one, but there are quite a few good soul LP's out there that deserve the same recognition as the '60's rock classics. This is one of them.

One Of The All Time Best.......2007-02-15

A definite CLASSIC, and I do not use that word loosely. Bought this album when it first came out, and now own the CD. It is timeless. If you like music, any music, then you owe it to yourself to own this record!!! Don't think twice, just buy it.....

Timeless soul diamond.......2007-01-13

Worth checking out on the merit of transcendent hit "Respect" alone, "I Never Loved A Man The Way I Loved You" is one of my favorite soul albums for three main reasons: Aretha's voice, of course, the ripping backing band she's got, and the songs.

Anyone with a radio has probably heard Aretha belt out "Respect" and other hits, but checking out an entire album really enhanced my appreciation of her remarkable voice. Her range and power are extraordinary, and to think of her pounding the keys while singing out her anguish and happiness really makes the album magic. Her lively wailing on "Drown in My Own Tears" is soaked in authenticity, and her sultry readings of the title track and "Dr. Feelgood" make it a surprisingly steamy affair. It's great to hear Aretha pour her sweat, heart, and guts into these songs and hear the soft, hard, fiery and sweet sounds her voice is capable of.

The backing band is tight and spot on--there's some really gnarly blues guitar, for instance, on the title track, and "Save Me" doesn't drop a funk-soaked beat. Throughout the whole album, the saxes and brass shine and accentuate the spaces between Aretha's confessions, illustrating the soul truth that simple is powerful. The background singers also help support Aretha's power with soft harmonies (like on the jazzy "Don't Let Me Lose This Dream").

Last, the songs are stupendous. Not only does Franklin conquer Otis Redding's "Respect" and cut the definitive version, she also reimagines Sam Cooke's "Good Times" and gives the man a run for his money on her tender reading of "A Change is Gonna Come." Along the way, she also manages to make soul classics out of a few other songwriters' tunes ("Do Right Woman") AND co-write some soul classics of her very own. Serious business indeed.

I love this CD and listen to it all the time--no matter how radio-overplayed "Respect" is, this album still glitters with the magic that created it and remains part of the bedrock of my modest soul collection.

Heart and Soul.......2007-01-10

It's a bautiful record, from the best aretha's atlantic period. It's one of the most important r'n'b records of all times...Any more words are not required!!

Masterful--Funny, Creative, and in Control.......2007-06-30

I'd heard a variety of Rodney Dangerfield one-liners in my time, but always wondered, is it possible that an entire album of one-liners could be that funny? Absolutely! Dangerfield is an example of a comic whose delivery and persona perfectly match his subject matter. The lines come out of him non-stop, each one relying on his sad-sack persona for the extra bit of pathetic humor.

What's most impressive about Rodney Dangerfield--and I'd say the same of Jackie Mason when I saw him in concert--is the absolute mastery and control that he has over his material and the audience. There are several instances of heckling during his set and he quiets them down with a quick retort and doesn't so much as skip a beat. At the end of the album he answers some questions from audience members and shows a flair for both improvisational humor and the ability to tie audience comments back to his own material. I'm stunned that I got this CD for about $7. You'd be hard-pressed to find a better comedy value anywhere. (Just for your calibration purposes, my favorite comedians are "early" George Carlin, Robin Williams, Mitch Hedberg, Woody Allen, Steve Martin, Bill Cosby and the Sklar Brothers.)

Its Rodney! Of course it gets 5........2007-05-16

The world is a much sadder place without Rodney around. If you don't get some good hard laughs from these classic Rodney-isms, run to the hospital and try and get resuscitated. Hopefully its not too late.

To all the women on Internet dating sites who love to laugh and want to find a guy who can make them laugh, buy this and fall in love with Mr. Dangerfield.

Dangerfield's classic album.......2007-01-10

Good old Mr. Dangerfield created an amusing personna that he used to great effect. Here are some very classic jokes for those interested.

I MISS YOU, RODNEY.......2006-11-06

WOW, 40 MINUTES OF RODNEY DOING HIS STAND UP ROUTINE, THE ONLY THING BETTER WOULD BE 80 MINUTES! TRULY IRREVERENT, POLITICALLY INCORRECT, AND LOTS OF FILTHY DIALOGUE, THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT SO GREAT! IF YOU LOVE RODNEY (AND WHO DOESN'T?), THEN GET THIS CD, IT WILL MAKE YOU LAUGH!

One of the greatest standup comics, period...........2006-08-29

Who are the great standups? Everyone always says Pryor, Dangerfield, Carlin, and Seinfeld (personally, I like the TV show better than his standup). This album and Rappin' Rodney (as of this writing is NOT on CD! What the f--k?) are totally amazing. I favour the Rappin' Rodney album myself, not because of the title track, but because the monologues are priceless. Rodney almost managed to make a few damn good films as well, like Caddyshack, Back to School, and Easy Money. I really don't get into standup, because there hasn't been any comedian/comedienne today that can even come close to the hilarious stuff that Dangerfield comes up with. Dangerfield is a great inspiration to many late bloomers, as he didn't restart his comedy career until he was 42, proving that you never too old to start something new. And besides, there aren't that many young people (especially today) that really know about life. RESPECT your elders, respect Rodney. He earned it...

Cut from the same cloth as bands like Great Big Sea, Black 47, and the Pogues, the Young Dubliners put some rock 'n' roll in their Irish ditties. Here on its sixth album, the L.A.-based band looks back to the old country, mostly reinterpreting some of the Emerald Isle's greatest songs. Pogues fans will recognize such classics as "If I Should Fail To Fall From The Grace Of God" and "Pair Of Brown Eyes," and there are two Dubliners songs too, but the rest are traditionals as well as one original and one song adapted from a Patrick Kavanagh poem. Likely best enjoyed in the company of friends, this album is prime fodder for night of drinking in the pub thanks to the sing along choruses and big crunchy guitar parts. It's a fair piece from the tradition, but this band manages to keep the communal aspect of Irish music intact, and that means this tribute hits just the right note. --Tad Hendrickson

Album Description

The hard-rockin' Irish band the Young Dubliners celebrate St. Paddy's day with all the gusto and charm only a bunch of good ole Irish lads can do (with a couple of American's to even out the pot). All the pub favorites with a few ballads thrown in for good measure. Why, it's what St. Patrick himself would be hummin' if he had the mind to...

Customer Reviews:

Keep up the Tradition.......2007-06-08

The Dubs are going through the motions to cover well known Irish songs.

The Young Dubliners have covered some of these songs on thier previous albums. Earlier versions of Rocky Road to Dublin and Ashley Falls are far superior on "Rocky Road" as well as Follow Me Up to Carlow and Foggy Dew on "Breathe"

Take one listen to The Foggy Dew on "Breathe" and hear the passion. A great tribute to a great song. Luke Kelly would have been proud. I just don't hear any of that fire in this collection. Not to many groups can cover Pogues songs well and here is another example.

Great idea but it falls short.

Frenetic.......2007-06-08

This would be a great CD if you were trying to provide accompaniment at a ceili. It was too raucous for me. Good for a St. Pat's day Pub crowd.

Another great one from the Dubs!.......2007-05-28

Here is another great release from the Dubs! This is a collection of traditional Irish tunes with the Dubs spin on them. All the songs are performed well and provide a truly enjoyable listen. Whether you are a long time fan or just interested in trying out the Young Dubliners for the first time, I certainly recommend this one.

With All Due Respect, The Irish Sessions.......2007-04-12

Irish Punk Rock a la Pogues/Popes treatment of traditional Irish Rebel Tunes without the musicianship demonstrated by by Pogues/Popes. Overall interesting but by no means the best.

Respect M.E........2007-05-07

Really like this album, it is a good choice of her songs and it is great up beat listening, a really good buy!

I can't get enough of this release! 5+ stars. Worth every cent........2006-11-10

Whether you've been a Missy Elliott since back in the day and have most of her releases or maybe became a casual fan when she released "So Addicted," this CD is a must buy as it has a generous helping of Missy best (17 songs clocking in at 70 minutes) at and a few killer remixes to boot. Currently only available as an import, but the price is not cost prohibitive.

While I have most of Missy's releases, some of them are hit or miss when taking into account every single song, so the beauty here is that you have a collection of her best songs in one CD. There is not a dud in sight.

I had given Missy a rest for a while and for whatever reason this release has made me an even bigger fan if that is possible as it has feel of a party mix but you'll find yourself surprised, at least I did, that they are all Missy and not different artists. While she of course has guest stars in most of her recordings, they are not on just for sales purposes as they bring strong value added to their respective songs.

In a nutshell, if you are not a fan, nothing here will change that. If you are a casual fan it's a must. If you have all her releases and are really short on money, you can make your own mix. While it won't have the remixes, you'll still have a massive collection of songs that will make you want to sing, dance, rule the world. This release easily earns its 5 stars from this fan! While totally irrelevant to my rating, I love the cover of this CD. Missy looks darn GOOD!

Album Description

Import only double-disc collection released by Warner's includes 43 tracks. 'Respect' features all the classic songs by the original Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin. Rooted in a gospel tradition that was to inform her soul-charged sound, her impact on pop music, and in particular American pop music was profound. It was the run of late-60s Atlantic hits featured here ('Respect', 'Chain of Fools', 'I Say A Little Prayer') that made her a star but as this 'Best of' shows, there was plenty more to come. Aretha was discovered all over again by a new generation in the 80s thanks to her role and performance ('Think') in hit musical The Blues Brothers. Riding high on a wave of success, duets with latter day icons followed like the epic "I Knew You Were Waiting" with stubble-faced George Michael and the anthemic 'Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves' with self-proclaimed diva Annie Lennox. Respect is certainly due to the remarkable talent of Aretha Franklin and this double disc anthology thoroughly represents the diva in her full majesty. Warner. 2002.

Great selection, but..........2007-04-29

My only complaint is that there is noticeable tape hiss on a few of the songs. I listen a lot on a portable stereo,
so it was quite easy to pick up.

Love it!.......2007-01-08

I came across this looking for a birthday gift for my mother. I was having really hard time trying to think of something. Seeing as her birthday is on Christmas Eve, then had to think of something to give to her for Christmas. These cd's where perfect!!

My mom always talks about the music she used to listen, but she doesn't even have a cassettee tape or even a vinyl record of any of the music she listened to from her childhood through her adulthood. Giving her these cd's was the best idea every. She actually cried!!!! My mom told me listening to these songs, she could remeber who she was with, where she was, and what she was wearing, when she heards the songs that Aretha sang.

The price was great, considering you got two cd's. And they deliveried the day before her birthday.

So, if your looking for a gift to give someone, who always talks about the music they used to listen to, but they don't have any of it, and they love Aretha Franklin. This is the perfect gift.

The Queen of Soul.......2006-02-20

This is the ultimate in Aretha's great array of soulful music that takes you through the many years and styles of music that Aretha has mastered with her true soulful vocal abilities. I have thoroughly enjoyed listening to this CD over and over again...and each time I listen to it I appreciate even more that the fact is...Aretha Franklin is truly the "Queen of Soul"! Blue eyed soul sister-CT

The Queen Indeed.......2006-01-12

There's been only one of her. She is by far one of the greatest vocalists and artists of all time. The soul genre shook under the feet of this mighty woman (thats not a dig at her weight - I swear), for hers was the mightiest of voices, and it has never been captured better, than on this collection.

Granted, Aretha is one of those singers that with almost every song sung offered an essential piece of music to cherish and remember, however, most fans of her music (and i am one for sure) can still never be without her hits. They're all here. A one disc collection of her recorded work is, frankly, a joke - unless part of a series - like Rhino's The Very Best of Aretha Franklin '60's and '70's CD's. However, a two disc set is fairly acceptable, and this is the best you will find.

Combining the lady's many Atlantic hits, and some slight rarities, as well as her Arista power house throw downs, is a God-send, that any fan will adore, and sew a special pocket on all their clothes for its carriage so as to never be without it(maybe, or is it just me?).

Although thats not to say that only fans would appreciate this collection. I'm sure any more casual fan of, say, Respect or Think or Chain of Fools (which i assume anyone with ears is), would highly likely fall head over heels in love with much of the material included here.

Therefore, it is my recommendation that everybody buy this CD. And might I suggest that if you like this you buy some of her remastered reissued original albums, so as to hear the overlooked gems on each.

Queen of soul.......2005-03-01

Aretha's best work, showcased here, proves that she has justly earned her title as Queen of soul despite some ups downs in her long career. Aretha took a long time to establish herself but once signed to Atlantic, she found a producer (Jerry Wexler) who was able to make the most of her distinctive talents.

Aretha has had many major hits in America although she has not been particularly successful in the British singles charts. During her time with Atlantic, Aretha had two UK top ten hits (Respect, I say a little prayer) and two other UK top twenty hits (Don't play that song, Spanish Harlem). All those hits are included here, together with many of Aretha's other classic recordings for Atlantic, some of which were minor UK hits but all of which did much better as singles in America. These classics include Think, You make me feel like a natural woman, I never loved a man they way I loved you, Chain of fools, Do right woman do right man, Angel, Since you've been gone and Until you come back to me.

With Aretha's distinctive voice and delivery, her cover versions are always interesting. Surprisingly, Satisfaction (Rolling Stones) is omitted, but Bridge over troubled water (Simon and Garfunkel), Oh no not my baby (Maxine Brown) and Let it be (Beatles) are among those included.

Aretha eventually left Atlantic, joining Arista in 1980. This rejuvenated her career although she never quite achieved the level of success that she had in her early years with Atlantic. However, she had two major international hits via duets - Sisters are doing it for themselves (with the Eurythmics) and I knew you were waiting for me (with George Michael), the latter becoming a number one hit in Britain (where it remains her only number one hit) and America. She also just missed the UK top ten with Who's zooming who - but most of her UK hits in the eighties were minor hits, just as they had been in her Atlantic years.

This compilation, spanning several decades of Aretha's music, clearly shows why she is regarded as the Queen of soul. There are many Aretha compilations to choose from, but if you want one covering her whole career, this is as good as you are likely to find.

Though the sound quality isn't quite up to par on this show recorded , Rodney's jokes definitely are. He sounds a little more low-key on this recording, as it sounds like it's a small crowd there to see him. But as always, Rodney delivers the funny.

Simply Put, Respeck !!!!.......2007-04-15

Lucky Dube is the man. I am originally from Nigeria and could not and still don't understand why it is so hard to get this album in the United States. I got my copy in Nigeria. Man it is worth it. It is not a party album full of dancing music, but a jamming, cruising and headbobbing sort of sound. I love this album, not as much as the other side, but it holds its own. Its all about peace, love and respect !!!

Amazon.com essential recording

In the 1960s, the Staple Singers began to make music that spoke to a wider audience than their core gospel fans. Gospel had served as the musical backbone for the Civil Rights movement from the beginning, but Pops Staples was spurred on by the inspirational messages of Martin Luther King Jr. to address more explicitly these issues. This 1972 record, an apex of groovy, mellow soul music (thanks to Al Bell's production and the definition-of-funky Muscle Shoals rhythm section), landed the group three Top 10 R&B hits and their first pop chart-topper, the joyous, bouncy "I'll Take You There." The Staples were always a one-of-a-kind gospel group; they managed to be the only one to inhabit the Top 10 without ever diluting their messages of tolerance, respect, and love. Who can fault any great preacher for wanting to spread the word to as many people as possible, especially when it sounds this glorious? --Mike McGonigal

A great Stax album of the Staple Singers from 1972!!.......2007-02-09

This was the first album of the Staple Singers that I purchased on CD. I mainly got it to find out how their hit Respect Yourself sounds as well as I'll Take You There. I'm sure pleased that I did get this CD. Respect Yourself is almost five minutes long (while the single of it was only three and a half); this song is one of my favorite of theirs, as it tells you that if you disrespect anybody that you run into, you are disrespecting yourself as well. That is a great song. I also love I'll Take You There. The single of it is about three and a half minutes long, but on this album, you get the song in extended form. Love this song too!! I also like: This World, Are You Sure, We the People, I'm Just Another Soldier, and Name the Missing Word. Love this group. I have every one of their Stax album titles on CD. These folks are full of soul!!

Soulful!.......2006-07-10

This happens to be my favorite musical group of all time. Their songs are easy to understand the words to and the words are fantastic. Very spiritual/moving/meaningful but still a great sound!! Was one of my fav record albums in the 70's and now I have it as a fav CD in the 2000's!!

The Staple Singers.......2006-04-27

This is one of the most inspiring, uplifting, moving, and wonderful recordings of all time. Mavis, "Pops", Cleo and Yvonne. I salute all of you.........THANK YOU!!!

Perfection -- what more can you ask for?.......2003-08-30

Ah, the Staple Singers. The soul group that brought me to soul. As an old punk rocker, old Bowie fan, and more, I just LOVE the Staple Singers. The musicianship is par excellence, and the singing is the sound of deep, moving musical moments. You cannont listen to this album and not be moved. Its just soooooo good. So good production, and the remastered version is absolutely fantastic. GET THIS ALBUM. Your life and soul will be greatly improved. I just wish there was more Staple Singers albums to listen to. They are all fantastic. Even live!!!!

I dont consider this they debut.......2006-07-29

Seriously anyone who gives this 5 stars is only do'in it cause DMX is on that one listenable track. This is not what the lox is all about. Pop bubblegum beats and radio friendly lyrics. Thats Puffs doing. If you really want to hear what the lox is all about, cop they solo album's and We are the streets. This album you can definetly tell Puffs pullin they strings.

Classic L-O-X!!.......2006-07-12

The LOX come good (no homo) with their debut album. This was before the D-Block movement they got goin' on now so it may be different to new LOX fans, but it's still heat. Jadakiss, Styles, and Sheek show with this album that they had skills then and still do now. If you like Hip-Hop go but this album now!

Overly, commercial, materialistic pap! .......2006-03-05

I can see why the Lox don't like to talk about this debut. This sounds as if Puffy did the whole album. Puffy and his Bad Boy production team produced most of the songs and it sounds like complete rejects from his No Way Out album instead of a Jadakiss/Sheek Louch/Styles project. Money, Power, Respect with DMX and Lil' Kim is the only strong song on the album. And what was the point of having the Mad Rapper on this album? Even the Hitmen's offerings come off as lame. The Ron Lawrence/Deric Angelettie song come off as lousy. And the ones from Nashiem Myrick, Stevie J and Carlos Broady come off as mediocre. But the low point is the pop-driven sound of If You Think I'm Jiggy, which Puffy produced and what worked for Mase doesn't work for the Lox. The song blatantly interpolates Rod Stewart's 1978 disco-driven hit Do Ya Think I'm Sexy. It's got a catchy beat a la Puffy, but the song's pretty bad and overly commercial. Out of 40 to 60 songs that Puffy produced in 1997 for artists, that's his worst! The lyrics on the album come off as materialistic and don't tell me too much about the group's background. Jadakiss had harder-edged rhymes and lyrics on the Lox' 2000 album and his solo stuff, but there's nothing he really offers here. The album's commercial sheen comes off as creatively empty. They should have let Puffy rap on this album instead and called it The Four Beats to Shake to.

disgust.......2005-12-07

I was intrigued with the title, but understood nothing of the lyrics. As most of rap (hip hop) this is incredible garbage. only my opinion of course.

It's a shame.......2007-05-20

It's a shame that this band came out near the end of teh heavy metal era. For their 1st album it was very good. I would have loved to see what they could have done on their 2nd & 3rd albums while metal was hot.

One of the most overlooked bands of all-time.......2006-11-24

I first heard about Davy Vain from the band Death Angel. He produced their incredible "Frolic through the Park" album, and after a show in Cincinnati, DA guitarist Rob Cavestany told me that I would be floored when "No Respect" hit the streets. He wasn't kidding.

To call Vain "glam" really doesn't do them justice. From a strict musical standpoint, they were far more talented and diverse than most of the metal bands who were around in the late 1980s. They weren't gimmicky, which probably contributed to their lack of record sales. If they had simplified it a bit, like maybe Warrant or Britny Fox for example, they probably would have sold millions of records. They were too good for their own good. And their live show was outstanding, too.

The only negative thing about "No Respect" is the occasionally cheesy lyrics. To this day, I can't listen to the chorus of "Aces" without laughing.

I still have an original copy of this on CD (vinyl, too), and I listen to it at least every couple of weeks. It has definitely stood the test of time.

No Respect Indeed.......2006-06-30

This band came out just a little too late. I bought this cd in 88 when it came out and with all the other glam bands that were out at the time there seemed no room for Vain. I have been listening to this disc for 18 years solid. Too many stand out tracks on this disc to mention, no filler here. If you like your metal raw and sleazy, definitly for you. Buy, Listen and Enjoy.

glam in the 80's.......2006-02-28

great sounding cd. one of the coolest glam bands of the 80's.
still putting out cd's to this day. great sound, great look and great band. pick it up if you like bands like: ratt, crue, ect.

Must have for your collection!!!.......2005-10-27

I've loved VAIN since the day they hit the streets. I was lucky enough to be at the taping of "Beat the Bullet" in SF California. Not only do are they a rocking group but great in person as well. Buy this CD...you won't be disappointed!
