Aretha Franklin : Spirit in the Dark






DON'T PLAY THAT SONG FOR ME
'CAUSE IT BRINGS BACK MEMORIES
OF DAYS THAT I ONCE KNEW
THE DAYS
THAT I SPENT WITH YOU

 By this time 

EVERYBODY

 knew what to expect

 from Aretha,

 and this project

 was no different

 from her past 

Atlantic albums

 which included 

Her Originals 

and Her Legendary

 Cover Versions!. 

It had gotten to the point 

Artists' were hoping she 

(Aretha) 

DID NOT 

record their songs, 

because by the time

 she'd put her 

'touch' to them...

It was all over, 

but the shouting! 

The

 "Spirit In The Dark" 

Album generated a

 total of 4 (Four)

 Billboard Charting Singles!

 The Billboard #3

 Hit Single

 "Spirit In The Dark", 

it's B-Side
 which
 'Tagged' 
along for an
 8 (Eight) week
 Billboard Chart Single run 
"The Thrill Is Gone",
 the Gold Billboard #1 
Hit Single 
"Don't Play That Song", 
and
 Billboard #5 
Hit Single 
"You And Me", 
along with 
Album Favorites: 
"Try Matty's", 
and 
"That's All I Want From You". 
This album too
 was another
 SMASH Album!
