Aretha Franklin - With The Ray Bryant Combo - Speakers Corner - LP

180-Gram Vinyl

Aretha Franklin's 1961 debut album for Columbia, cut when she was just 18 and produced by John H. Hammond with the Ray Bryant Combo. A youthful, swinging mix of pop and jazz standards, it ranges from a seesawing "Won't Be Long" to a bell-like "Over The Rainbow" and a freely styled take on Gershwin's "It Ain't Necessarily So."
