Aretha Franklin - The Essential Aretha Franklin (Audio CD - 2010) [2-Disc Set]

This two-disc, 40-track anthology collects the key tracks from Aretha Franklin's stay with Columbia Records in the early '60s, and they catch the young singer and pianist in her first secular pop recordings -- they're not quite soul and they're not gospel and most of them fall to the jazz-pop side of things.Franklin is a force of nature when she sings no matter what the material is but listeners expecting the Queen of Soul will find a talented Princess in Waiting here instead.
