If you download this, please make sure to also get the latest version of the previous stray tracks album, "Tree of Life," because some songs from the old version of this album moved to that one.Ġ2 Just a Lucky So and So (Aretha Franklin)Ġ5 Master of Eyes (Aretha Franklin)Ġ6 Ain't but the One (Aretha Franklin & Ray Charles)ġ0 Springtime in New York (Aretha Franklin) As a result, the time period covered shifted from 1972-1973 to 1973-1974. UPDATE: On September 30, 2021, I drastically changed this album, moving some songs and adding others. "Feel a Little Love" and "Springtime in New York" are both unreleased studio takes, but have very good sound quality. "The Boy from Bombay" and "Til It's Over" come from the 2021 box set "Aretha." "Master of Eyes (The Deepness of Your Eyes)" was released as a single in 1973.

If you're like me and you only dabble in gospel music, you'll like these two songs.Īs for the remaining songs, "Just a Lucky So and So" is unreleased and was performed for a TV special celebrating jazz great Duke Ellington. However, there are two songs from that album I do like, that show how soul music evolved from gospel: "How I Got Over" and "Old Landmark." You may remember James Brown doing "Old Landmark" in a great church scene in the 1980 "Blues Brothers" movie. Furthermore, most of it doesn't appeal to me musically, with a lot of slow songs, including long call and response sections, talking and preaching sections, and so on. But it's a very religious album, and I'm not a religious person. Two others are from Franklin's acclaimed 1972 gospel album "Amazing Grace." A lot of people consider that one of the best albums of her career. Like the other albums in this series, I rely on the rarities compilation "Rare and Unreleased Recordings from the Golden Reign of the Queen of Soul." Four of the songs are from that.
