This Girl's In Love With You [Atlantic, 1970]If Soul '69 didn't convince me she was built for standards, then this lp convinces me she's better suited to lightweight pop novelties such as the title song and "Son of a Preacher Man" than overwrought rock statements such as "Eleanor Rigby" and "The Weight." I admit, when she sings "The Weight" she sounds as if she really knows what all the words mean. But I still don't. B+

Well anyway, consider Aretha a singing string ala Robert Plant than an interpreter.
