An overlooked gem!

I always thought the title track of this album was recorded for George Benson's "Best Of" compilation.This was a small revelation to me,since I thought I owned all the Arif Mardin productions from '71 thru the present.I guess I'm a sucker for this sound(Phillinganes,Foster,Buchanan,Porcaro-can't beat it),and Aretha sounds incredible as usual."There's A Star For Everyone" is a fave!

Aretha Franklin Love All The Hurt Away

Aretha Franklin's Love All The Hurt Away bridged the gap between her R&B releases and her Pop-Rock releases.This was after the Aretha 1980 Album but before her comeback Album Jump To It in 1982.There's Love All The Hurt Away with George Benson,The remake of Sam&Dave's Hold On I'm Coming,Live In The Streets,There's A Star For Everyone,The remake of You Get What You Need,The remake of Diana Ross's It's My Turn,Truth And Honesty,Search On,A Whole Lot Of Me,and My Kind Of Man.She definitely was on the verge of a major Career Comeback.

The come back album

After years of so-so albums, Aretha Franklin released one of her best albums with two breathtaking gospel flavored covers, «Hold on I'm comin'» and «You can't always get what you want».
