Label: Atlantic 2546
Year: 1968
Condition: M-
Price: $18.00

Here's a great Aretha hit you don't hear very often (or see on vinyl very often, for that matter). But one listen will explain why Dave Marsh included it in his list of the 1,001 greatest 45s. As a double thrill, you also get her dynamite cover of the Dionne Warwick hit from the year before on the flip. Aretha's version actually was a bigger hit on the Black chart (#3) than Dionne's was (#6). By the way, the A side is a non-album tune, while the flip is specially edited from a 3:30 album track. Note: This beautiful copy has a drillhole and comes in a vintage Atlantic Records factory sleeve. (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)
