The box set, which spans Aretha’s career from 1956 to 2015, will be released as a four-CD compilation, although there will also be a single CD version and a two-LP version.
Some of the songs featured in the set include “Ooh Baby Baby,” with Smokey Robinson from a 1979 episode of “Soul Train,” a duet with Tom Jones on “It’s Not Unusual” and “See Saw,” and Aretha’s live performance of “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman” from 2015’s Kennedy Center Honors.
There will also be a home demo version [below] of “My Kind of Town (Detroit Is),” as well as demos/alternatives of “Try a Little Tenderness,” “Young, Gifted and Black” and “Chain of Fools.”
