Overview
The album was released on December 4, 2001, the same day as Women & Songs 5. 32 tracks that helped launch successful careers for some of the best female artists in the industry are included on this 2-disc collection.
The album begins with pure Aretha Franklin singing You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman, leads through some classic music on its way to Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue by Crystal Gayle, straight into Tina Turner's Private Dancer, and eventually nears an end with Whatever Will Be Will Be by Doris Day. And that's only the first disc; Jackie DeShannon appears on the second disc with What The World Needs Now Is Love, while Little Eva sings the party classic The Loco-Motion - a song that later appears on Women & Songs: 60s Girl Groups.
