The Blues Brothers by

63 editions published between 1980 and 2020 in 6 languages and held by 2,037 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
After Jake Blues is released from prison, he and brother Elwood go to visit the old home where they were raised by nuns. They learn the church is no longer supporting the institution and will sell the place to the education authority. The only way to keep the place open is if the $5000 tax on the property is paid within the next 11 days. The brothers want to help and decide to put their blues band back together and raise the money by staging a big show. As they set off on their "mission from god" they seem to make more enemies than friends along the way

The very best of Aretha Franklin by
Aretha Franklin(
Recording
)
14 editions published between 1967 and 1998 in English and Undetermined and held by 789 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Franklin's performances are mesmerizing and seem to embody the perfect balance between nuanced sensitivity and sheer powerhouse wailing. The combination of her unique magnetism and the quality of such songs as 'Think, ' 'I Never Loved A Man (The Way I Love You), ' and '(You Make Me Feel) Like A Natural Woman' is almost too good to be true. The album's only shortcoming is that there aren't more tracks to savor. A perfect introduction to this phenomenal singer
