One of the greatest voices of all time, Aretha Franklin is an icon. Recorded live in March 1971, Aretha Live At The Fillmore West captures Aretha at her energetic best. The power and soul in Franklin's voice rocks the Fillmore to the core and shows her true greatness.

From the opening chords of 'Respect' all the way to the final note of 'Reach Out and Touch (Somebody's Hand)', Franklin is on fire. With attitude and style, she powers through her set of 10 songs, which also features a guest appearance by the icon Ray Charles. 

In 10 songs, Aretha manages to cement her place as a live music veteran and at the same time, give the people of Fillmore a night they'll never forget.
