COMMUNITY REVIEWS
If You Haven’t Heard This, You Don’t Know Aretha submitted by robbo on August 29, 2018, 4:06pmAretha Franklin was not only the greatest Black soul singer, not only the greatest female soul singer, not only the greatest soul singer of all time, but the greatest gospel singer of all time.
This album is both a concert and recording center and a church service.
If you have a hang up about religiosity and church music, remember that this was part of the great heart and the musical legacy of the great Aretha Franklin.
