Soft and Beautiful is an album by Aretha Franklin released in 1969, but recorded between July 9–16, 1964,[1] before Franklin moved to Atlantic Records and up until 1969, previously unreleased, although an alternate take of A Mother's Love appeared on Franklin's 1966 Columbia LP Soul Sister.[2] It reached Number 29 on Billboard's R&B chart. Mark Bego, in Aretha Franklin: The Queen of Soul, called it "the most consistently paced album of her later Columbia years."[2] Originally released by Columbia Records, the album was reissued on CD with her 1962 album "The Tender, The Moving, The Swinging Aretha Franklin."
