Obviously, anybody who wants the very best of Aretha Franklin would want to have acquire Volume 1 before Volume 2, but that said, this is quite a nice collection of Franklin's strongest material from the '70s, including radio classics like "Rock Steady," "Don't Play That Song," "Day Dreaming," and "Until You Come Back to Me." You also get the underrated but thrillingly bluesy "Spirit in the Dark," and intriguing covers of "Border Song," and "Bridge Over Troubled Waters," in which Franklin gets to the songs' gospel cores that eluded their authors (respectively Elton John and Paul Simon).
