Product Description

Released in 1970, THIS GIRL'S IN LOVE WITH YOU captures Aretha still riding the arc of an extremely powerful, stratospherically successful period. As part of an effort to achieve greater crossover success, the Queen tackles various '60s hits from the Rock and Pop charts. Aretha hit with renditions of " "Let It Be" and "The Weight".
The album's real highlights, though are her soulful cover of Bobby Bland's "ShareYour Love With Me", the stirring "Dark End Of The Street" and the gut-wrenching, Gospel-tinged "Sit Down And Cry". The album's title track and Franklin's #1 hit "Call Me", while somewhat overwrought, still showcase the singer's incomparable voice, which, as always, soothes like a caress and smasheslike a hammer. THIS GIRL'S IN LOVE WITH YOU, while not her strongest album, is still a noteworthy addition to Aretha's Atlantic discography.

Customer Reviews

Lesser known classic
Not as well known as a couple of her other Atlantic albums this is nevertheless fantastic stuff. Dark End of The Street, Son of a Preacher Man...you won't be disappointed by choosing this one.

Her underrated gem
There are better known Aretha albums, and albums with better known tunes, but this is her best IMO .

Soul drips from every track, and her version of Let It Be is surely the best ever recorded. It doesn't stop there, Son of a Preacher Man, Its A Shame, Dark End of the Street, in fact every track shows her at her best

If you like Soul, this is one for you , if you like Aretha its essential
