Aretha's Gold is a greatest hits album by Aretha Franklin, released in 1969 at Atlantic Recording Corporation. This stunning array of her biggest #1's and other smash hit singles mostly feature the super group backing band of Duane Allman, Arif Mardin, Jerry Wexler, Tom Dowd, Roger Hawkins, Spooner Oldham and Jimmy Johnson.
The album dominated the top of the soul and pop charts for over a year. Her songs and soulful delivery illustrate why, over four decades since release, Aretha still is the Queen of Soul.
The album's tracks were recorded at Atlantic Studios, New York City, except "I Never Loved a Man (The Way I Love You)" and "Do Right Woman, Do Right Man", which were recorded at the Fame Recording Studios, Muscle Shoals, Alabama.
