Recorded in 1968 at the Olympia Theatre in Paris, Aretha Franklin exhilarated her adoring fans, performing beloved hits and breathtaking covers. Her powerhouse vocals have remained unmatched, as evident on this sensational live recording. The set included energetic versions of Charles’ “Come Back Baby,” Redding’s “Respect” and her own masterpiece, “I Never Loved A Man (The Way I Love You).” The album peaked at #2 on Billboard’s Top R&B albums.
Atlantic’s Jerry Wexler once said that this concert album was an embarrassment to him, criticizing the inferior band (actually, the musicians that usually accompanied her live in the late ’60s). Composed of her first few big singles and cuts from her first three albums, it doesn’t match the classic studio versions and could be considered her least essential ’60s Atlantic LP. That’s not to say, though, that it doesn’t sound pretty good, with fine if basic readings of a lot of her most popular late-’60s material, although the horns fall distressingly out of tune at a key point in the instrumental break of “Chain of Fools”.
