 Aretha Franklin August 8, 2008
Little Lana (USA)
A nice set of Aretha Franklin songs. No 'best of' set will ever completely satisfy me or have every thing I want on it ... as I've been listening to her since the 1960's. Aretha Franklin's first song on "The Billboard Hot 100" was on February 27, 1961 with "Wont Be Long" #76. She reached the Billboard Hot 100's Top-Forty that same year with "Rock-A-Bye Your Baby With A Dixie Melody" #37. She's won multiple Grammy awards and is a Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Inductee. Aretha Franklin has proven her popularity, as Hillary Clinton did this year, by earning more votes in the 2008 Presidential Primary race than any other Presidential Primary candidate in the history of America.
It may not be the best, but its close February 22, 2007

Aretha Franklin has had more hits than tis, but how many are you going to find that have jump to it and who's zoomin who on the same album. If anyone knows speak up. These were 2 of my favorites and getting both on the same album is nearly impossible. By the way the sound quality is also good.
excellent album February 8, 2007

I loved this collection just as much as the boxed set for Atlantic Records! This is a good budget-conscious release for those who can't afford to plunk $50-60 for the wonderful 86-song set. The compilation producer smartly compiled Aretha's Atlantic hits from the 60s/70s and her Arista hits from the '80s. While not in chronological order, it does mix her hits in a sonic and cohesive way, how her soulful voice sings through the different songs, musicians, producers and arrangements. One song that I heard for the very first time was The House That Jack Built, a #6 charted hit that came between the Respect and Call Me hits period. It's just as superb a song as the more recognizable hits of Freeway of Love, Jump to It, Spanish Harlem, Daydreaming and many others. Still love the duet that she did with George Michael, 1986's I Knew You Were Waiting For Me. I heard a that lot during a road trip to Orlando, Florida in April 1987. At that time, it was a No. 1 pop hit. Throughout, this collection demonstrates why Aretha is a dynamic song stylist who can holler, whoop, and soar through these performances. A true testament of the Queen of Soul!
The best CD available! March 13, 2006
