Released in 1969, Arethas Gold is the chart-topping greatest hits compilation that features her biggest hits from her early Atlantic albums: Respect, Think, (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman, Chain of Fools, and more!

The first compilation based on Franklin's successes of 1967-1968 on Atlantic. Included among the 14 selections here are all of the big bits (nine of which went Top 10) that established Franklin's enduring reputation, from "I Never Loved A Man (The Way I Love You)" to "I Say A Little Prayer." It sometimes got as good as this afterwards, but it never got better.
