About
Aretha Arrives is the eleventh studio album by American singer Aretha Franklin, released on August 4, 1967 by Atlantic Records. Its first single release was "Baby I Love You". The song was a million-selling Gold 45 which peaked at #1 on R&B chart and #4 on the Billboard Hot 100, followed by "Satisfaction" in early 1968. Her second album for Atlantic, the sessions for the album were delayed because Franklin shattered her elbow in an accident during a southern tour. However, Franklin decided she was ready to record before her doctor thought she was ready; while she still did not have full mobility, she provided piano accompaniment on the slower songs and played with her left hand only on "You Are My Sunshine". In 2004, Q ranked the album at number 1 in its list of "20 Forgettable Follow-Ups to Big Albums", due to the album being the successor to the acclaimed and commercial successful LP I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You.
