CAROLYN FRANKLIN - CHAIN REACTION

Aretha's youngest sister had a chance to WAIL on this record, and in my opinion it's the strongest of all of her solo records (thanks in a big part to the excellent song - written by the great Van McCoy - which is so strong it should have been a hit).

Carolyn's greatest successes were as a songwriter for several Aretha tracks, and she also contributed some superb backing vocals to Aretha records, occasionally with older sister Erma in tow.

Sadly, Carolyn died way too young; she was only 43 when she passed away from breast cancer.

from 1970...
