Yes, a Curtis Mayfield fan may miss his trademark open C guitar playing, or his social message songs. This is romantic stuff - ballads have titles 'Look into your heart' and 'Something he can feel', uptempo songs are called 'I get high' and 'Jump'. Orchestra provides a lush sound cushion for Aretha to inhabit. But this was the mid-'70s, Curtis is still a master arranger, Aretha still (just) the Queen. The record, yes, sparkles.
