20 Greatest Hits

Mixture of classic Aretha musical hits

It seems too crass to squeeze into this little on screen box all that is great about this CD. Not only does it contain Aretha's "greatest" hits it also features some of the best soul music ever created.The purity of the young Aretha's voice on this collection is unequalled, there are many pretenders but no one will ever usurp the Queen of Soul title that is so rightfully hers.Every track here is so stand out that it feels like an historic archive after all this time, each track will have particular significance to her fans, indeed it may well sound like a romantic/emotional autobiography for many.This is the music that I grew up with, I can set a sign for each track in my own emotional development, should I ever need a reminder!In one of the greatest cliches (they really do have their uses for shorthand meaning) they really dont make music like this any more.Any fan will enjoy revisiting these classics, any newcomer (of whom I feel quite envious)must be entranced by the power of the song and its singer.I believe you can really never have too many Aretha albums, they are always excellent company and your task now, if you are reading this is to turn somebody new onto this goddess. Go on buy the album and gift it to somebody you love. Bet it works.

Great album

The CD is good value for money and had a few tracks that were less well known as well as some firm favourites. The first time I played it,it skipped from track 14 to the end but when I tried again it behaved as it should. A good additon ot my collection.

Brilliant cd

What a great CD

This gives you a good overview of the artist without having it clogged up with a lot of songs that you have never heard of. Good value for money too.

the best female singer ever!.
