Album

Music from the Warner Bros. Picture Sparkle is a soundtrack album by American singer Aretha Franklin, written and produced by Curtis Mayfield. Released on May 27, 1976, the disc is the soundtrack album for the 1976 Warner Bros. motion picture Sparkle, starring Irene Cara. The songs on the soundtrack feature the instrumental tracks and backing vocals from the film versions, with Franklin's voice taking the place of the original lead vocalists. Songs in album Aretha Franklin - Sparkle - OST, Спаркл Саундтрек 1976. Aretha Franklin - Sparkle. Aretha Franklin - Something He Can Feel. Aretha Franklin - Hooked On Your Love. Aretha Franklin - Look Into Your Heart. Aretha Franklin - I Get High. Aretha Franklin - Jump. Aretha Franklin - Loving You Baby. Aretha Franklin - Rock With Me. Aretha Franklin, who died on August 16th at age 76, recorded more than 40 full-length albums in her six-decade career. Its a deep catalog, crowded with indisputable classics and hidden gems. When Aretha Franklins revelatory Southern soul collaborations with producer Jerry Wexler cooled in the early 70s, she spent nearly a decade experimenting with different sounds. Sparkle was an oasis in this period. It was Franklins only album to be certified gold between 1972, the year of her Nina Simone-inspired Young, Gifted and Black, and her Luther Vandross-helmed comeback, 1982s Jump to It.

Aretha Franklin 's career was in a down period in the mid-'70s when she collaborated with Curtis Mayfield to sing his compositions for the film Sparkle. The film proved a non-event, but for Franklin it marked a return to glory. Once again she was the Queen of Soul, doing the chilling, spectacular leaps, cries, whoops, and shouts that defined secularized gospel in the late '60s. The title cut was a sizable hit, while Something He Can Feel became an anthem. Aretha Franklin. Album: Sparkle. Have This Want This. Album Info This Release. Visitor rating.

The 1970s were topsy-turvy for Aretha: She started the decade as the biggest soul star and ended it lost in the disco forests. But this soundtrack to the modestly charming 1976 musical was an oasis that gave her a much-needed hit. Despite Curtis Mayfield's lachrymose string arrangements, he wrote some incredible tunes, from the classic ballad Something He Can Feel to the '60s girl-group homage Hooked on Your Love and the groovy Jump which the Pointer Siste. Aretha Franklins 25th studio album also doubles as the soundtrack for the 1976 musical film Sparkle, about a fictitious Motown singing group. The album uses the same backing vocal and instrumental tracks as the film, but Franklins voice is substituted for Irene Caras. Sparkle Q&A.
