Young Gifted & Black

“Young, Gifted And Black” was released in 1972 on Atlantic Records and is Aretha Franklin's acclaimed 18th studio album. Recorded between 1970 and 1971 at Atlantic Studios in New York City and Criteria Studios in Miami, “Young, Gifted And Black” combines both sides of the incomparable artist: the edgy soul singer who celebrated her first successes in the late 1960s and the artist who developed as a singer and ventured into more challenging pieces!
