The story behind
When Aretha Franklin recorded I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You, she did so under a new contract with Atlantic Records. She was coming off a period at Columbia Records where she had released eight jazz albums that did not have the expected impact. This ninth work, released on March 10, 1967, marked a turning point. It was her first album to reach the top 10 in the United States, peaking at number 2 on the Billboard 200. To promote the album, two singles were released: a cover of Otis Redding's Respect, which topped the Billboard Hot 100, and the title track, I Never Loved a Man (The Way I Love You), which also ranked among the top ten most listened to.
Aretha Louise Franklin, born in Memphis on March 25, 1942, established herself in the mid-60s as a central figure in soul, R&B, and gospel. Known as "Lady Soul" or "Queen of Soul," her music resonated strongly with the civil rights and women's liberation movements in the United States. In 1987, she made history by being the first woman inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Rolling Stone magazine has recognized her on two occasions: as the greatest singer in history on its list of the 100 Greatest Singers, and as the ninth greatest artist in its ranking of the 100 Greatest Artists.
