Reviews
3 stars out of 5 -- "An intriguing assortment....Franklin's voice is captivating from the start, whether on the swinging soul of 'So Soon' or the gospel-tinged 'You Keep Me Hangin' On'.", "The opening track, her demo of 'I Never Loved A Man', will galvanize the most jaded soul fan, as will nearly every subsequent number on this two-disc set. Astonishing...", 5 stars out of 5 -- "It's her cover of 'My Way' that really shows her indelible skill for reimagination. In Aretha's hands it becomes a rousing slice of rollicking R&B, with Pat Lewis and The Sweet Inspirations chiming in behind her."
