Atlantic Gold

Although Atlantic Records was founded in the late 1940’s, it was during the late 1950’s and 1960’s that the label really came of age. During this period, the label’s roster was nothing short of a ‘Who’s Who’ in the soul and R&B world with legends including Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin, Sam & Dave and Ray Charles, making some of the most famous songs of the era. For anyone into the sound of Atlantic soul, this new album is a ‘must have’

Atlantic Gold is a triple album covering the best of the label during its classic soul years. A glance at the tracklist reveals an abundance of instantly recognisable hits including Ray Charles ‘I’ve Got A Woman’, Roberta Flack’s classic ‘Killing Me Softly’, which reached No.6 in the UK charts in 1973 (and No.1 in 1996 when it was reworked by The Fugees). Also included are Otis Redding’s timeless track ‘(Sittin’ On) The Dock Of The Bay’, Booker T and The MG’s top 10 hit ‘Green Onions’, and what Atlantic soul collection would be complete without a little magic from the Queen Of Soul herself. ‘Respect’, ‘Chain Of Fools’, ‘I Never Loved A Man (The Way I Loved You)’ and ‘Think’ are four good reasons why Aretha has earned her title – and all appear on Atlantic Gold.
