Along with Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin stands as one of the twin pillars of 1960s soul and rhythm and blues. She infused her R&B with the passion of her gospel background, shaping songs that in other artists’ hands might have been simple love songs into cathartic, transformative experiences.
This playlist contains my picks from her ‘60s work. I’ll update this post with another playlist when I get to the ‘70s.
