I Never Loved A Man The Way I Love You

In today's world of music, all I can say is you heard the rest now hear the best. This is Aretha's best effort. From beginning to end you can get an education on life and chills sent down the spine in just one listening. Sort of a crasher course of life and love 101 on CD.

What can you say about this great recording. You almost take it for granted that this is one of the greatest soul albums of all times. These songs are as familiar as the National Anthem or God Bless America. Aretha graduated from Princess to Queen with this album. This album open the door for all the soulful Diva's that we hear today. Sometimes we forget what Aretha has done and the doors she has opened for so many. This CD should be on every music lovers CD rack. No one and I mean NO ONE can do it like Lady Soul

This cd is one of aretha finest......Just listening to drowning in my own tears make me shiver.....Her piano playing alone is truly a masterpieace. Can i get a Amen.

Great, great record. Anyone who loves music will dig this. Should be required listening for anyone who aspires to be a rock 'n roller.

This album was the "miseducation of Lauryn Hill of it's day. This is one of the reasons that Lauryn can be compared to Aretha without starting a riot. Aretha was the only other person besides Billie Holiday and Marvin Gaye that I heard as a child and knew that EVERY song that she sang about came from the heart. When I listen to the title song, I can't help but feel like it should've been some sort of National Anthem for women all over the world that at one time or another have been in love with a man that you KNEW was no good. Even as a young woman (I;m 25) ,I feel her music just as much today as my mother did 25 years ago. Lauryn's "Ex-Factor" is the "I Never loved A Man " of the 90's. Aretha's second best song ,"Dr.Feelgood" also puts this album in rank as her best work. All this album needed was "Rock Steady" and "Baby, I Love You" and it would've been her best. Still, the only thing that tops this album is her greatest hits,Sparkle soundtrack, or ANY of her gospel works.
