...Atlantic played its Super Star for all she was worth and Aretha brought home some heavy income. She also did some of the best songs done in '68 or any other year, "The House That Jack Built" and "Say A Little Prayer." Aretha is honest, she sings it the way she feels it.

After several run-ins with assorted high school counselors, I began to look...
Only when the score is called upon to express uninteresting sentiments does the score fall flat. For instance, a plot song ("Our Littlt Secret") which tells about a clandestine illicit arrangement between two characters, though done in the Bacharach-David manner, remains mundane because the subject matter is emotionally barren...
