Queen of Soul: The Atlantic Recordings is an 86-track, four-disc box set detailing Aretha Franklin's Atlantic career, starting in 1967 with the landmark single "I Never Loved a Man (The Way I Love You)" and ending with 1976's "Something He Can Feel".

Background

The set highlights Franklin's best moments and give a depth that is essential to the Queen's and soul music fans, but does not include any tracks recorded by Aretha for Atlantic after 1977. The liner notes include essays written for the box set by producers Jerry Wexler, Arif Mardin, and Tom Dowd, as well as contributors Ahmet Ertegun, Dave Marsh, David Ritz, and Thulani Davis. The album won a Grammy Award for Best Album Notes at the 35th Annual Grammy Awards, the first win in the category by a woman (Davis).[9]

This release by Atlantic Records should not be confused with the February 2014 release by Rhino Records entitled The Queen of Soul. Both are 4-CD compilations. They share 75 tracks. The Atlantic release, however, contains 11 tracks not on the Rhino release, and the Rhino release has an additional 12 tracks not found on the Atlantic release.[10][11]

As of 2003, sales in the United States have exceeded 72,000 copies, according to

Nielsen SoundScan.[12]
