(more) »rank: 261260by: Aretha Franklin
: :This 1968 LP was powered by 3 hit singles (each nested in the upper reaches of the pop Top 10). It became Aretha's 2nd Gold LP and remained on the charts for over a year. 180 gram vinyl. :Despite the presence of the sweetened (and great) single 'A Natural Woman,' Aretha Franklin's third Atlantic album is even more elegantly gritty than its two predecessors. She finds liberation in James Brown's 'Money Won't Change You' and a revved-up take on Ray Charles's 'Come Back Baby' much as she had in 'Respect' and 'Think' earlier, while Eric Clapton's guitar on 'Good to Me As ...

: :In hip-hop, respect is like currency, and by the mid-'90s MC Hammer was as bereft of props as he was of cash. But there was a short period in the early '90s when every clock in the land read 'Hammer time,' and truth be told, he was the artist who introduced a lot of kids to hip-hop and its many possibilities.

Hammer also scored with album cuts 'Here Comes the Hammer,' 'Have You ...

: :Rather than a do a rehash of many of the obvious traditional tunes that fill special holiday albums by contemporary performers, maestro Luther Vandross opted for the task of creating no fewer than 7 of the 10 tracks included on his 1995 Christmas release. The result is an album that demonstrates why Vandross is still considered the preeminent black male vocalist of close to two decades: as on typical Vandross recordings, the production is crisp and strong and the vocals are flawless. As usual, he employs the cream of musicians and background vocalists (including the inimitable Cissy Houston and Darlene Love, who is ...
