Description
Aretha’s Franklin’s position as soul music’s premier female vocalist was consolidated by this album. Her strident reading of Don Covay’s ‘Chain of Fools’ set the tone for a collection on which the singer unveiled several stellar original compositions and reinterpreted a batch of classic songs. Franklin’s gospel roots were clearly displayed on the anthem-like ‘People Get Ready’ while her interpretation of ‘Natural Woman’ showed both vulnerable and assertive qualities. ‘Lady Soul’ captures a performer at the peak of her power, restating her ability to take material and make it uniquely her own.
