NEW LP

New sealed copy. 2016 reissue.

Released on September 9, 1971, by Atlantic Records, Aretha’s Greatest Hits was the third compilation album by the Queen of Soul. Coming at the height of her career, the collection brought together some of her most iconic singles from the late 1960s while also offering listeners three newly recorded tracks: “Spanish Harlem,” “You’re All I Need to Get By,” and a powerful rendition of Simon & Garfunkel’s “Bridge Over Troubled Water.”

The album highlighted Franklin’s unmatched ability to bring gospel fervor, emotional depth, and technical brilliance to contemporary soul and pop music. While the compilation served as an accessible entry point for new fans, the inclusion of fresh material ensured it was also essential for longtime listeners.

Commercially and critically, the record cemented Franklin’s dominance in the era, underscoring her role as both a hitmaker and one of the defining voices of American music. “Spanish Harlem,” in particular, became one of her standout singles of the early 1970s, further proving her gift for reimagining popular songs with her own distinct soul stamp.
