Aretha Franklin:

I Never Loved A Man The Way I Love You:(1967)

Lady Soul:(1968)

These two albums contain my all time favorite Aretha tunes, Chain of Fools and I Never Loved A Man. Muscle Shoals served her well. That said, these records wouldn't sound the way they do without Aretha playing piano. In fact, I think Aretha is at her best when she's accompanying herself, that's where that deep soul resides.  I never bought into the whole "Queen of Soul" thing, in fact there are other female soul singers that I think are better, and prefer to listen to, but these two albums are killer.
