Lead Performance: Aretha Franklin; Genre: R&B

Recorded in 1968 at Paris' Olympia Theatre, Aretha in Paris captures the Queen during her chart-topping ascendancy. Some tunes are rushed, and her backing band is no match for the lineup at her legendary live Fillmore West performance in '71. Still, classic Aretha Franklin has few peers. B+
