{"product_id":"aretha-franklin-you-grow-closer-0008811185022","title":"You Grow Closer","description":"Long out of print or unavailable except in dodgy releases, this important document of soul queen Aretha Franklin's earliest gospel recordings clearly shows where she got all her chops: in church. The recording quality isn't the best fidelity even in this official release, but the tunes show the young singer truly wrapped inside a devotional ecstasy. The infamous \"Precious Lord\" single is included in its entirety, as are several recordings made with her father, the great preacher Reverend C.L. Franklin. \"You Grow Closer\" is a fairly essential recording for fans of gospel soul everywhere. But for Aretha acolytes, the disc is a must; Franklin's pipes open up with full-bore intensity on \"Precious Lord,\" in anticipation of greatness to come. It's difficult to believe she was just a teenager when she sang these hymns. --Mike McGonigal","brand":"Imports","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53662251909462,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_0008811185022_1.jpg?v=1778776622","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/aretha-franklin-you-grow-closer-0008811185022","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
