Amazing Grace: The complete recordings I learned about this cd from Dan Klefstad who has a radio program on NPR radio, WNIJ Dekalb Illinois. Dan plays the blues every Saturday from noon to four. Once a year he plays four hours of gospel. He played a cut from this cd and I just had to have it. The whole cd is great. It's live with some comentary. ![]() The second cd has a few of the same songs as the first but you barely notice. They were recorded on two different days at the same location with the same backup choir. It's what you would expect from Aretha Franklin. Recorded over two days at Los Angeles' New Temple Missionary Baptist Church, AMAZING GRACE finds Franklin backed by her studio band and joined by a choir led by family friend and gospel icon James Cleveland. Franklin's singing is unfettered and filled with a spirit not heard in her secular material. Most interesting is her seamless choice of material. She gives pop songs by Marvin Gaye ('Wholy Holy') and Carole King ('You've Got A Friend') a spiritual sheen, placing them alongside more traditional fare by Clara Ward ('How I Got Over') and Thomas Dorsey ('Precious Lord, Take My Hand'). Equally impressive are Franklin's rich arrangements, her interaction with the Southern California Community Choir, and her often overlooked piano playing on such songs as 'Never Grow Old.'
