Album Description
Aretha Franklin is, quite simply, the undisputed queen of soul. As the first woman inducted into the rock 'n' roll hall of fame, Aretha has, in a career spanning forty years, won virtually every award there is to win, scoring dozens of smash hits, and a truckload of Grammy's and lifetime achievement awards. She has been described as having 'the most soulful female voice ever committed to disk' and as being 'one of the most influential people of the last century'. Otis Redding needs no introduction either. his extraordinary voice exemplified to many listeners the power of southern 'deep soul' - hoarse, gritty vocals, brassy arrangements, and an emotional way with both party tunes and aching ballads. His death at the age of 26 was tragic because he seemed on the verge of breaking through to a wide pop audience (which he would indeed do with his posthumous #1 single, "(Sittin' on) the Dock of the Bay") as well as being at a point of artistic breakthrough in terms of the expression and sophistication.

Customer Reviews

its a classic..
this is a lovely cd with all the old songs ..its well worth having if you are a aretha or otis fan..its very good value as their are two cds..its a cd you would like to treasure..

Legends of Soul
As this series states on the cover Legends of Soul and you can't argue with that a superb compilation and well put together CD mixing the two talents and giving you their best output over 2 cd's.

The thing I like is that they have not just put on Otis track then an Aretha track,

Aretha gets 25 songs and Otis 17 and its been well mixed up. The sound is good and I assume the tracks have been remastered or taken from original tapes.

Just turn out the lights and imagine a concert just for you by the two superstars

No need to go through the play list there all here.

5 stars

Fantastic!
Real soul music as it should be, real singers & real musicians!

Aretha sings with passion & emotion like no other & Otis has the catchiest songs & the most sorrowful too.

Just buy it!
