Turns out there's loads of interruptions to pure Aretha, with a bunch of other singers, who ain't Aretha .......... attempting / ruining
duets with the Queen of Soul, before things get back on track.
Sorry chaps.

Great call, Steve. Haven’t listened to that for quite sometime. Thanks for the reminder.
From the box set:
Hiss Golden Messenger - Lateness of Dancers. Just getting into this, although I've had it for a while. There is a touch of Dylan about his voice. The music reminds me a little bit of JJ Cale.
Mark Knopfler
Get Lucky - CD Rip
Edward
Quincy jones - The Birth Of a Band, big bands don't come better than this.Super version of "Moanin'".
Marvin Gaye - What's Going On. It's been a day of oldies, Aretha, The Doors, and now Marvin Gaye. A classic album for sure.
Now Playing.........
Annie Lennox - Diva
Streaming on NAS......... arriving home and random pick on the NAS, taking out Annie for a spin. Fantastic vocals on the opening track 'Why' an instant pick me up and some toe tapping underway with the second track 'Walking on Broken Glass!' Always nice when a song or two and lift you up and put a smile on your face...........
The Doors - The Doors on reissue 1980 vinyl. Continuing with The Doors. Can't seem to locate this album on on The River. I'm looking for the 40th Anniversary CD (2007) mix. I have the rest of their albums from that 2007 reissue release, happy with the sound quality.
This gets my vote as his best live album:
Now Playing.........
Mark Knopfler - The Ragpicker's Dream
Streaming on NAS........... A mention earlier from TED_P of a Mark Knopfler album prompted me to pick out one of Mark's album for a spin. He doesn't have a bad one, their may be a favorite, but I like everyone I have heard, a fantastic musician!
Now Playing.........
Mark Knopfler - Get Lucky
Streaming on TIDAL......... continuing on with Mark's Get Lucky album, most lucky the last album of the day...... First Track 'Border Reiver' got the foot tapping, a wonderful tune!

dknk, if you head over to discogs you can get the copies you want for just a couple of quid plus postage.
Classy soul compilation. Loving Arms by Irma Thomas is superb.
Playing on Compact Disc on Chrysalis Records 1993 - A brilliant Compilation of Hip - Hop and Jazz featuring the artists on the cover
