100. Aretha Franklin, ‘Young, Gifted and Black’ (1972)

If you didn’t get it from the title Young, Gifted and Black, Aretha Franklin was proudly and boldly representing for the African-American community on this 1972 classic, and the cover photo – which shows two sets of gently smiling Arethas facing each other wearing turban head wraps that glow an earthy orange against stained-glass windows – speaks to her African pride and musical upbringing in the church. Set against a black background, the warmth of the photographic portrait(s) is almost palpable.
