What you are witnessing on this album is not just soulful and brilliant singing in the true old school gospel tradition, but also a changing of the guard!---Mahalia Jackson, the reigning and (in my book) the eternal queen of gospel, passed away right before this album was released in January of 1972, and Aretha, the heir apparent and reigning queen of soul sang at her funeral. I would call that a passing of the baton. If that weren't enough, both her mentor in gospel singing, the legendary Clara Ward and Sister Rosetta Tharpe both passed away in 1973. Aretha also sang at Clara Ward's funeral. So if that wasn't the flame being passed on and kept, I don't know what is! And keep the flame she did!---What you have in this amazing 2-CD set is some soul-stirring, heaven-inspired, transcendant singing by Aretha accompanied by her other mentor, the late great and equally revolutionary Rev. James Cleveland and his very capable Southern California Community Choir! The arrangements are still moving and anchor Aretha's raise-the-rafters voice to the tee! This was Aretha when she was ARETHA!!---The unparalleled voice of a generation! She was without peer during this time...before age, weight, cigarettes, etc., took their toll on her once magnificent vocal instrument!---Aretha to the 100th power! Not only does she make you hear her!---She makes you FEEL HER!! Just put it on from start to finish and be taken on a spiritual journey! If ever there was a marking of when the old school gospel became the new school contemporary kind, then this surely was the first wave! This album stayed on the R&B/Soul as well as the gospel charts for almost 10 years! That is a feat that has yet to be topped by anybody in gospel today! To say that this album is a landmark is an understatement of the highest order! If you don't already have it, buy it!---You won't regret it! Let the church say AMEN!! (- Review: Truly One of a Kind Recording! - Many music critics agree this is probably one of the finest gospel albums ever recorded. This live, two-CD set is Aretha's crowning homage to her gospel roots and shows her dynamic vocal range. Whether handling material from secular-inspired artists like Carole King (You've Got a Friend) and Marvin Gaye (Wholly Holy), to more traditional songs like What a Friend We Have in Jesus, How I Got Over, and searing arrangements of gospel classics like Mary Don't You Weep and Never Grow Old, and the10-minute title track will enthrall and move you like no other singer can. Produced by music industry veterans Jerry Wexler and Arif Mardin the 14 tracks on this CD were recorded live at the New Temple Missionary Baptist Church in Los Angles, California. The post-mixing and editing captures every audience nuance and there's an excellent quality to the balancing between Aretha's vocals, accompanying band, background choir, and even the remarks between songs by her father Rev. C.L. Franklin and church pastor, the stalwart Rev. James Cleveland. Whether you are a fan of gospel music or not I urge you to own this amazing recording simply because it's just another example of Aretha Franklin at her finest! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000002I3Y | | Best Sellers Rank | #32,332 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) #32 in Southern Soul #251 in Gospel (CDs & Vinyl) #13,605 in Pop (CDs & Vinyl) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,322) | | Date First Available | December 7, 2006 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Label | Atlantic | | Manufacturer | Atlantic | | Number of discs | 2 | | Product Dimensions | 5.5 x 5.5 x 0.25 inches; 2.5 ounces | | Run time | 1 hour | ## Images ![Amazing Grace - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61W6Mw+IH1L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Bridge Between The Old Time Gospel Of Mahalia, Marion, Clara & Others and What Became Known As Contemporary Gospel!! *by H***! on November 10, 2009* This album is timeless, powerful, poignant and very very signifigant in the evolution of gospel!
