"Soul '69" is a 1969 album of cover material released by soul legend Aretha Franklin. The album charted at #1 on Billboard "Black Albums" and at #15 on "Pop Albums" and launched two charting singles, "Tracks of My Tears" which reached #21 on "Black Singles" and #71 on "Pop Singles" and "Gentle on My Mind" which charted at #50 and #76 respectively. Originally released by Atlantic Records, the album was re-released on CD in 2002 by Atlantic and Rhino Records. It was subsequently incorporated into the compilation "Trilogy" by Warner Strategic Marketing in 2005, along with the albums "Lady Soul" and "Live at the Fillmore West".

Critical reception

The album was critically well-received. Music journalist Stanley Booth wrote in "Rolling Stone" that "Soul '69" was "quite possibly the best record to appear in the last five years", describing it as "excellent in ways in which pop music hasn't been since the Beatles spear-headed the renaissance of rock".Booth, Stanley. (Mar 1, 1969) [http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/arethafranklin/albums/album/143130/review/5941683/soul_69 Soul '69] "Rolling Stone". Accessed November 13 2007.] In spite of critical praise and popular success, however, the album has sunk into obscurity, becoming one of what journalist Richie Unterberger terms as "her most overlooked '60s albums".
