After making the leap to Arista Records at the dawn of the '80s, Aretha Franklin united with legendary producer/arranger Arif Mardin for LOVE ALL THE HURT AWAY. The result was a star-studded affair that found Lady Soul combining slick '80s R&B with more of an adult contemporary sound. Her cover of Sam & Dave's "Hold On I'm Comin'" updates this classic with background vocals by the Sweet Inspirations and Darlene Love as a mechanized horn section blares away. Likewise for Jagger/Richard's "You Can't Always Get What You Want," where a choir led by the legendary Reverend James Cleveland helps make this a bouncy and surreal remake.
When Franklin slows the tempo down, her impressive pipes remind us why she is the Queen Of Soul. George Benson's honey-sweet singing makes an effective foil during his duet on the title track and on "It's My Turn," Franklin's vocals cascade over a bed of lighter-than-air strings before some trademark call-and-response with her background vocalists. Equally impressive are the Franklin-penned "Whole Lot Of Me" and "Kind Of Man" which close out the album on a winning note.
