GREATEST HITS (1980-1994) contains all of Aretha`s hits since arriving at Arista records in 1980 as well as several new songs recorded for this release.
"A Deeper Love" was nominated for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance in the 37th Annual Grammy Awards.
This GREATEST HITS compilation brings together the Queen of Soul`s singles from the 1989s and early `90s. Included are the hits "Freeway of Love" and "Who`s Zooming Who?"
The German edition comes with one bonus cut.
This aptly named best-of album collects the creme de la creme of Lady Soul`s post-Atlantic Records work, a fruitful period in which she re-invented herself as an all-purpose pop diva. Highlights include several star duets, among them "United Together," a classic Burt Bacharach ballad done with Michael McDonald, and the perky "Doctor`s Orders," with Luther Vandross; as well as more urban fare such as the tell-it-like-it-is "Who`s Zoomin` Who" and "Jump to It." There`s also a show-stopping rendition of "I Dreamed a Dream," the big number from the musical LES MISERABLES, and the brilliant crossover smash "Freeway of Love," an almost-rocker which introduced Aretha to the MTV generation.
