Our Take

Aretha Franklin's 1972 live album "Amazing Grace" is a towering achievement in the world of gospel music. Recorded over two nights at the New Temple Missionary Baptist Church in Los Angeles, this album captures the Queen of Soul at the peak of her powers, delivering spine-tingling performances that will leave you feeling like you've just had a religious experience.

From the moment Franklin opens her mouth to sing the title track, it's clear that we're in the presence of a true legend. Her voice is like a force of nature, soaring effortlessly from the deepest depths to the highest heights, conveying a depth of emotion that is simply unparalleled. The backing choir, led by the incomparable Rev. James Cleveland, adds an extra layer of power and passion to the proceedings, creating a sound that is truly awe-inspiring.

But what really sets "Amazing Grace" apart is the sheer rawness and intimacy of the performances. Franklin's voice crackles with emotion, each note laden with a lifetime of joy and pain. It's like she's reaching out through the speakers and grabbing you by the soul, demanding that you listen, that you feel something, that you let the music wash over you and cleanse you of all your sins.

In short, "Amazing Grace" is a masterpiece. It's not just an album, it's a religious experience, a testament to the power of music to lift us up and carry us through even the darkest of times. If you haven't experienced it yet, do yourself a favour and give it a listen. You won't regret it.
