Aretha Franklin This Girl's In Love With You (Vinyl, Atlantic Records, 1970) *****
Genre: Soul
Places I remember: Paris is from Spellbound Wax Company in Gisborne, This Girl is from Real Groovy Records.
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Let it Be (versions of Lennon/McCartney are difficult as the original has such a cultural imprint, but it's easy to see what Macca was aiming for with Let It Be when you hear Aretha do it)
Gear costume: This Girl's in Love with You
Active compensatory factors: These two are from the late sixties when she was interpreting hits du jour.

Less so in '68 on the live set - (I Can't get No) Satisfaction and Groovin', but by 1970's studio album she was doing terrific versions of Son Of A Preacher Man, Let It Be, Eleanor Rigby, The Weight and the Bacharach/David title song - This Girl's In Love With You.
All that (plus Duane Allman's guitar) makes it one of my favourite Aretha albums.
Where do they all belong? A cornerstone of any Soul section.
