Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time - Rated 75/500!
"Lady Soul", released in January 1968, is one of Aretha Franklin's best and most popular albums – a mega-seller that reached number 2 on the charts and includes her rendition of Carole King's (You Make Me Feel Like) "A Natural Woman" as well as the unforgettable song "Chain Of Fools" – a milestone in the women's movement and an inspiring vocal achievement to this day. Just a landmark statement of female empowerment and inspired vocal performance. Other massive big hits such as (Sweet Sweet Baby) "Since You've Been Gone" and "Ain't No Way" catapulted "Lady Soul" straight into the R&B charts and to No.2 on the Billboard 200. The album also features her soulful renditions of James Brown's "Money Won't Change You," Ray Charles' "Come Back Baby," and Curtis Mayfield's civil rights anthem "People Get Ready". Rolling Stone named Aretha Franklin as the No.1 greatest singer of all time, and that becomes more than clear on "Lady Soul".
