'I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You' is the tenth studio album by legendary American singer Aretha Franklin. The record was first released on March 10, 1967, by Atlantic Records. In 1967, Rolling Stone chided the album for 'the lack of versatility on the part of the sidemen. The drums weren't hard enough, the guitar was weak, and the production lacked polish.' In 2002, though, they placed the album at No. 1 on their 'Women in Rock: 50 Essential Albums' list. In 2003, the album was ranked No. 83 on Rolling Stone's list of 'The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time'.
