The live recording took place shortly after the release of her Grammy™ Award winning studio album “Young Gifted and Black” and features the albums two Top 10 (USA) singles, penned by Aretha, ‘Rock Steady’ and ‘Day Dreaming’. Plus stunning covers woven into medleys of ‘I Never Loved A Man (The Way That I Love You) / I Say a Little Prayer’, ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water / We’ve Only Just Begun’ and a glorious rendition of Aretha’s anthem ‘Respect’.
