"No doubt Aretha cut some great jazz, blues and pop sides for Columbia Records in the early sixties, before she went to Atlantic and became the Queen of Soul. BUT GIVE FANS LIKE ME A BREAK!!!! We want the entire Columbia Records albums re-released on cd, in their entirity, not the same rehashing of the same dozen or so tunes like the ones here. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely ADORE these songs, they are some of Aretha's best. But PLEASE stop releasing the same old same old with a different cover, or a different running order. SONY/COLUMBIA YOU ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF YOUR CONSUMERS AND OF ARETHA'S FANS !!! Lets have "YEAH ! ARETHA LIVE WITH HER QUARTET" or "RUNNIN OUT OF FOOLS" re-released on cd, and other titles long deleted by Comlumbia Records."

Classic -- this is a beautiful collection, showcasing Aretha

"This collection is simply fantastic. Aretha Franklin has such skill at conveying sincere and powerful emotions through her singing, as this collection makes beautifully clear. This lady was gifted by God with an understanding of the language of music. Just put on the song "God Bless the Child" or any other track from this collection of classic jazz songs, and you'll hear some of the finest vocal performances in music history. Comforting, stirring, and commanding, this is as good as it gets."

"An early aretha's recordings. She shows a great vocal skills to sing jazz but she looses the strong way to feel and express the message's songs."
