"Aretha Arrives" is the eleventh studio album by American singer Aretha Franklin, Released on August 4, 1967 by Atlantic Records. Its first single release was "Baby I Love You", a million-selling Gold 45 which hit #1 R&B and #4 on the Billboard Hot 100, followed by "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" in 1968. This is her second album for Atlantic. The sessions for the album were delayed because Aretha shattered her elbow in an accident during a southern tour. She decided she was ready to record before her doctor thought she was ready. While she still did not have full mobility, she provided piano accompaniment on the slower songs and played with her left hand only on "You Are My Sunshine".

「アレサの11作目」というより「アトランティック移籍後2枚目」という方が通りがいいでしょうか。あの「貴方だけを愛して」と「レディ・ソウル」に挟まれているため認知度がやや低い作品ですが、アトランティック移籍後の作品はどれも甲乙付けがたい素晴らしい出来映えだと思います。

ついつい癖で「アレサ」と言ってしまいますが、発音はかなり違います。ピーター・バラカンさんに訂正されてしまいそう。
