aretha-franklin-1392048574-hero-promo-0アレサ・フランクリン、JDVにおける初レコーディングリリース作品から既に57年が経過。未だに現役として頑張ってる彼女のオールタイム・ベストって、出てないんですよね。レーベルの壁もありますが、提案がてら、なるべくチャートイン作品(POP100内・R&B100内)に絞って選曲してみました。最新シングルでR&B100曲目のチャートインとなりましたが、POPチャートのみランクインの60年代もあるので、計103曲(ディスク5枚=チャートトップ21曲を1枚+それ以外4枚)+歴史的な名曲を集めた16曲(仮)(ディスク1枚)という、今回もいつも通り相当な妄想です。CDが死語(?)になってきている時代、ディスクで堪能できる時代のうちに、こういうの出ないかなぁと。
