Entertainment Weekly (10/9/92, p.58) - "...majestic...There are literally scores of transcendent Aretha performances here..." - Rating: A
Musician (1/93, p.87) - "...the entire set is a riveting testament...certainly QUEEN OF SOUL meets the minimum requirement the consumer has a right to ask of these collections: that they, in some unarguable way, be essential..."
Village Voice (3/2/93, p.5) - Ranked #2 in the Village Voice's list of the 10 Best Reissues Of 1992.
NME (Magazine) (10/22/94, p.47) - 9 - Excellent Plus - "...The kind by which all other soul records are judged...catchfire, passionate, chart-gracers that took all that was great about gospel and packaged it for the streets..."

This four-disc box represents the cream of Aretha Franklin's canon. Initially signed to Columbia by the legendary John Hammond, Franklin spent her time floundering about as the label struggled to find a stylistic fit for her. When her contract was up, she signed with Atlantic and was immediately teamed up with producer Jerry Wexler. He promptly enlisted the musical magicians down in Alabama's Muscle Shoals studio as her back-up band. It was as if her bottled-up creativity had been let loose on an unsuspecting world. Like Ray Charles before her, Lady Soul uses her vibrant vocals and powerful piano playing to create a crossroads where musical genres met. Starting with the Gospel she cut her teeth on as a child, Franklin throws ingredients of soul, country, jazz and pop into a delicious musical gumbo.

Aretha Franklin's amazing range allowed her to not only write much of her own material, but travel along and pick songs off a wide variety of musical trees. In addition to covering songs by Otis Redding and Don Covay, Franklin also dips into the catalogs of Nina Simone, Willie Nelson, The Beatles and Elton John. During her 12 years with Atlantic, the Queen Of Soul also took turns dabbling in material associated with Motown, Philly soul and Stax. QUEEN OF SOUL is essential listening.
