Her diva persona and tendency to perform with pre-packaged "soul", can be off-putting. But listen to young Aretha sing the songs in this compilation. You'll hear innocence and nuance, power and glory. This is Aretha as a vocal artist, leading the listener on a journey to varying places and emotions.
