Aretha Franklin's 1971 album Live at Fillmore West was a seminal soul breakthrough. It finally cemented her status beyond soul audiences and it matched her with a phenomenal rhythm section in King Curtis and the Kingpens. Franklin adroitly mixed pop, rock, and soul material throughout the three nights, including Stephen Stills' 'Love The One You're With,' and Bread's 'Make It With You,' and the Beatles' 'Eleanor Rigby,' as well as true favorites 'Respect,' 'Don't Play That Song,' and 'Spirit in the Dark,' which brought Ray Charles out of the audience for a spirited duet. Deluxe gatefold sleeve featuring photos from the concert and new liner notes by Down Beat contributor Mitch Myers (including fresh interviews with original album producers Jerry Wexler and Arif Mardin)." Original cover art. 180 gram HQ vinyl.
