Aretha Franklin > (You Make Me Feel) Like A Natural Woman
Composed by Carole King, Gerry Goffin, & Jerry Wexler

The peak. The last, and maybe the greatest, of the Goffin & King work-for-hire smash hits. (After 1968 there were a couple of blah years, and then, the explosion and revolution of Tapestry).

And what a smash. For any other artist this record would have a career peak. For Aretha it was an artistic peak, except there were many, many more zeniths over the next six years.

For Carole King, maybe it was the beginning of understanding herself?
