Spicing up Gospel with a splash of Soul and R&B, producer Jerry Wexler lifted Aretha Franklin to the throne as Soul Queen with this one, earning her spot as the first woman in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. It was through this album that Aretha Franklin paid tribute to Sam Cooke, Otis Redding and Ray Charles. It is the same album that is home to the truly iconic anthem of female empowerment, ‘Respect’, that’s punchy intro created waves on the radio at the time and still has that same impact today. Join Ezra and Uma as they bring us through ‘I Never Loved A Man the Way I Loved You’, inarguably one of the greatest soul albums of all time.
