"Sparkle" is an Aretha Franklin album, written and produced by Curtis Mayfield. The LP is the soundtrack album for the 1976 Warner Bros. motion picture "Sparkle", starring Irene Cara. The songs on the soundtrack feature the instrumental tracks and backing vocals from the film versions, with Franklin's voice taking the place of the original lead vocalists.

The songs "Something He Can Feel" and "Hooked on Your Love" were covered by En Vogue on their 1992 breakthrough album "Funky Divas". "Something He Can Feel" was re-titled "Giving Him Something He Can Feel" and released as the 2nd single from the album. The accompanying music video for the song features the ladies of En Vogue in red dresses not unlike the fictional girl group of the original "Sparkle" motion picture.
