Here Aretha covers strong material like Sly Stone's Everyday People (of which there is also the Shep Pettibone remix), Mary Goes Round - a stomping piece of funk with George Clintonesque overtones, the uplifting ballad I Dreamed A Dream, the stunning You Can't Take Me For Granted with its propulsive rhythm and pianocrobatics, and Doctor's Orders, an electrifying duet with Luther Vandross. And Aretha is exactly what the doctor orders if you want sweeping passionate ballads and dance numbers with real power and emotion.
