Product Description
The first ever UK CD compilation of the RCA Victor recordings of Aretha Franklin’s baby sister Carolyn.

As well as singing vocal backup for Aretha for many years and writing several of her biggest hits, Carolyn Franklin had a great voice that could be heard to excellent effect on her four RCA albums recorded between 1969 and 1976.

This CD anthologises virtually all of Carolyn’s RCA singles A’s and B’s as well as a hand-picked selection of the very best tracks from those albums.

Her great voice and superb choice of material – a considerable amount of it self composed – is complemented by a team of legendary East coast arrangers and producers including Jimmy Radcliffe, Bobby Martin and Buddy Scott.

Features a sleeve note by David Cole, editor and publisher of the UK’s most eminent all-soul magazine In The Basement and himself a huge Carolyn fan.

Only one of Carolyn’s original four albums was issued in the UK, so virtually all of the repertoire is making its domestic debut here.

Everyone’s heard of Aretha, most people know who the middle Franklin sister Erma was – now it’s time for "Baby Dynamite" to explode once again onto the world of soul.
