I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You — 1967
Aretha Franklin
The album where Aretha found her voice at Atlantic, fusing gospel fire with secular soul on 'Respect' and the title track. Raw, commanding and historic. The Queen of Soul announces herself. Their best-placed record on our lists, and a genuine essential.
On vinyl: Originals are widely faked and graded inconsistently — stick with a trusted reissue.
