A brief 12-track collection of
Aretha Franklin
's hits from her
Arista
period (post-1981),
Platinum & Gold Collection
includes her three Top Ten hits of the era:
"Freeway of Love,"
"Who's Zoomin' Who,"
and
"I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)."
The compilers use their nine other selections wisely -- with
"Jumpin' Jack Flash,"
"It Isn't, It Wasn't, It Ain't Never Gonna Be,"
"A Rose Is Still a Rose"
-- but at barely a half-hour, this is strictly a choice for the budget-minded record-buyer. ~ John Bush
