Import only two CD collection. 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 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 the 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.

Title: The Queen of Soul gets some "respect" on this excellent career-spanning compilation
Review: Aretha Franklin is, unquestionably, one of the defining voices of modern music. God sure gave her a powerful instrument to use, for when she opens her mouth to sing, people listen. She's an undeniable force, with a vocal range, projection & emotional depth that few can match.Like many artists, her work has been packaged & RE-packaged. But this two-CD set truly is "the very best". From the beginning---after a frustrating six years of trying to find her niche--when she hit it big with the sassy iconic "Respect", the soulful ballad "You Make Me Feel Like a Natural Woman", the can't-sit-still songs "Chain of Fools" & "Rock Steady", all the way to her mid-80's comebacks on songs like the infectious pop-soul hit "Freeway of Love" and triumphantly teaming with Eurythmics on "Sisters are Doing it for Themselves", and to the present. During all this, she had some wonderful duets with George Benson, pop superstar Elton John and pop heartthrob George Michael, as well as displaying her gospel roots in several lesser known but significant songs. Really, Aretha can do it all.A great collection on a great woman that you can listen to over & over!

Title: Ain't Nothing Like The real thing!!!!
Review: Simply put, Aretha Franklin is the greatest female R&B singer of the modern pop era. The queen of soul has many cd compilations out there, but none compare to this career spanning two disc set, that encompasses her entire hit career from 1967 to 1997. This collection of 43 songs surpasses her 30 greatest hits collection due to the inclusion of such later day hits as "Who's zoomin Who', "Freeway Of Love', "Sisters Are doing It For Themselves[with Annie lennox]" to name a few. Everyone of her classic songs from the 60's and 70's are right here for you to enjoy. I can't think of a more bargain priced career retropspective that covers her entire career. "Respect, The very best Of Aretha Franklin", is truly a time capsule, that serves as the sound track to many of our lives who were around for those classic soul days of Atlantic Records, in which lady soul Miss Aretha Franklin started a musical legacy that remains unsurpassed in the annals of pop- music. I consider this an essential purchase in order to make any music library complete.

Review: 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.

Review: Doppio cd, con le songs storiche e quelle più recenti. Tenuto conto che la Franklin rappresenta un monumento del jazz/soul, se piace il genere questo cd è imperdibile

Review: Aunque las canciones de este CD son de cuando Aretha era más joven, el sonido es bueno y se escucha estupendamente. El primer disco tiene bastantes canciones de las más conocidas y que nunca pasan de moda y siempre apetece oir. Su timbre de voz es único y siempre reconocible, imprimiendo a sus canciones un sello especial y distinto a otras cantantes de su estilo de música .Si recomiendo su compra a todo el que le guste este tipo de música, como a mÃ. El embalaje me llegó bien y a tiempo como suele cumplir Amazon.
