Songs Of Faith: Aretha Gospel captures the extraordinary debut of Aretha Franklin, recorded live at Detroit’s New Bethel Baptist Church when she was just 14 years old. These 1950s sessions showcase the young Queen of Soul’s raw vocal power and deep connection to gospel music, offering an intimate glimpse into her early artistry that would later transform popular music.
Restored and remastered, this collection brings to life Aretha’s powerful renditions of gospel standards, accompanied by the spiritual energy of her church community. With performances inspired by legendary figures like Clara Ward, Songs Of Faith: Aretha Gospel stands as a revelatory testament to Aretha’s timeless gift and her roots in gospel and blues traditions.
