Atlantic Records co-founder "Ahmet Ertegun "once said, "I don't think there's anybody I have known who possesses an instrument like her ...She is blessed with an extraordinary combination of remarkable urban sophistication and of the deep blues feeling that comes from the Delta. The result is maybe the greatest singer of our time." The Queen of Soul started out as the musical child prodigy daughter of a famous Detroit minister and by 1956, when Aretha was just 14 years old, she already had a contract with Checker Records, soon releasing this album featuring her gospel singing and piano playing. Aretha was forced to leave her gospel career, however, due to the birth of her first child later that year. But as we all know that was just the beginning for Aretha. ""
