ATLANTIC GOLD - 75 soul classics from the Atlantic vaults |
|
including Ray Charles ‘I’ve Got A Woman’, Roberta Flack’s classic ‘Killing Me Softly’, which reached No.6 in the UK charts in 1973 (and No.1 in 1996 when it was reworked by The Fugees). Also included are Otis Redding’s timeless track ‘(Sittin’ On) The Dock Of The Bay’, Booker T and The MG’s top 10 hit ‘Green Onions’, and what Atlantic soul collection would be complete without a little magic from the Queen Of Soul herself. ‘Respect’, ‘Chain Of Fools’, ‘I Never Loved A Man (The Way I Loved You)’ and ‘Think’ are four good reasons why Aretha has earned her title – and all appear on Atlantic Gold.
