Title: Let this cd in your life.
Product review: This is a fine Aretha Franklin release. It has some solid cuts like, Until you come back to me, I'm in love, and Every natural thing. But there is a slight misstep in choice of material, and this cd. does not have the spark and solid r&b focus of her previous (and great) Young, Gifted and Black. Her rendition of Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing never really catches fire. On the other hand, she is able to take a sappy song like, With Pen in Hand and let it build into a soulful firestorm. She is in fine form. Aretha's voice(at this time) was an instrument of awesome power, with the ability to transcend. I do recommend this cd. The strengths certainly outweigh the weaknesses, and it is far superior to some of her later efforts.
