Young, Gifted and Black

by Aretha Franklin

Young, Gifted and Black cover art

Boasting the legendary, Grammy-winning 'Day Dreaming', Aretha Franklin's early-70s masterpiece flawlessly bridges the gap between deep, gospel-inflected R&B and highly sophisticated pop orchestration. 'Young, Gifted and Black' is a fiercely passionate, wonderfully triumphant soul classic, overflowing with incredibly warm, remarkably melodic performances that are both deeply rhythmic and beautifully mellow.
