Considered one of Aretha Franklin's best projects, and cementing her as a leader in Pro Black Movement, the 70’s album Young, Gifted and Black perfectly mixes both sides of Aretha — the earlier hard-hitting soulster, and the developing vocalist with a rich talent for more sophisticated material. The album features the anthemic title cut in Aretha's famous version — plus the sample favourite Rock Steady, the mellow groover Day Dreaming, the hit Brand New Me, and the strangely compelling First Snow In Kokomo.
