Aretha Franklin - Sweet Bitter Love [1970]



Some uneven, but superbly sung, light pop, overproduced R&B, and soul from Aretha Franklin's days on Columbia. The label has been steadily recycling Franklin material, and while much of it deserves a second listen, there are some better anthologies than this one. The title track, however, is an excellent number, and there are some others that are equally solid.

Track list:

01.All Night Long
02.Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive
03.Nobody Like You
04.Today I Sing the Blues
05.Sweet Bitter Love
06.Try a Little Tenderness
07.Skylark
08.Johnny
09.God Bless the Child
10.If Ever I Would Leave You
