Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Aretha's underrated Jazz album from 1969........2007-03-20

Contrary to what its title implies this was a Jazz (not Soul) album. Producer Jerry Wexler brought some great musicians to these sessions which remain some of Aretha's most memorable ever. Listening to this album today it is easy to imagine Aretha as a natural successor to such great Jazz singers as Billie Holliday, Ella Fitzgerald and Dinah Washington.

5 out of 5 stars Aretha's Jazz Album.......2006-06-21

This is my all-time favorite Aretha Franklin album - and Aretha is one of my all-time favorite singers! Here she proves beyond any doubt that in addition to being a great soul and gospel singer, she was also a great jazz singer. I only wish she had made more albums like this!

If you like soul or big band jazz singing, this CD is a MUST HAVE!

5 out of 5 stars JUST ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC.......2005-09-15

Although this is one of the lesser known Aretha albums, it could be her best one. It could just as easily have been called Jazz 69 too, 'cause it has a jazzy flavor to it, complete with big band accompaniment, and Aretha is in her best form. She was/is quite a talent, this CD just oozes with feeling and passion.

5 out of 5 stars 5 Stars and then some.......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2005-07-15

'Ramblin' and 'If You Gonna Make a Fool Of Somebody' are the only probably the best songs ever recorded (in my opinion) from Ms. Franklin.

JUST BUY THIS CD AND ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5 out of 5 stars Aretha's Best.......2005-05-06

This is one of Aretha's Best Albums. There is a cohesiveness to the material as each track makes its own statement about the pains and emotions of love. From the magnificent soulful ballads of "If You Gotta Make A Fool of Somebody," "So Long," "I'll Never Be Free," to the jazzier tunes, "Gentle On My Mind" and "Elusive Butterfly, this album has it all. When I originally heard Smokey Robinson's "Tracks of My Tears," I didn't understand why it was such a hit. Aretha's version is simply amazing, as is her reading of Bob Lind's "Elusive Butterfly."
