"Aretha Franklin – Live at Fillmore West" is a live album by legendary American singer Aretha Franklin, released in 1971. The album was recorded at the Fillmore West theatre in San Francisco in March 1971 during a series of concerts Franklin gave in collaboration with legendary soul producer Jerry Wexler.
The album is a masterpiece of soul and gospel music, with Franklin showcasing her incredible vocal range and emotional expression. It includes covers of songs by Ray Charles, Otis Redding, and The Beatles, as well as several of Franklin's own hits, such as "Respect" and "Chain of Fools."
The album was a commercial success and received rave reviews from critics and fans alike. It is often considered one of the best live albums ever recorded and a highlight of Aretha Franklin's career.
The album also marked a significant moment in the history of soul music, as it introduced white rock audiences to African-American soul and gospel traditions. The Fillmore West concert was one of the first times a Black soul artist performed in a large, predominantly white venue, and the album contributed to the popularization of soul music in the United States and abroad.
