"The Electrifying Aretha Franklin" is the second studio album by American singer Aretha Franklin, originally released on March 19, 1962 by Columbia Records. The album which is also known under its working title "The Incomparable Aretha Franklin", was recorded at Columbia Recording Studios, 799 Seventh Avenue, New York. This is a great piece of early '60s R&B from the undisputed Queen!
It's a common misconception that the late legend of soul, Aretha Franklin, didn't cut a good record until she got out from under her Columbia Records contract and began recording with the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section (aka The Swampers) for Atlantic Records. While those Atlantic sides are some of the greatest deep Southern soul ever recorded, there's a lot to love about her earlier recordings. Yes, there is much more of a pop R&B vibe to them with swinging arrangements and large horn and string sections but that unique and perfect voice is still there, her piano playing is gorgeous, and there are some serious Northern Soul burners in the bunch. The Electrifying features some of her greatest early tracks, including the Northern Soul classic "Rough Lover".
