Aretha Now is the thirteenth studio album by American singer Aretha Franklin, released on June 14, 1968, by Atlantic Records. The album is gold-certified. It reached No. 3 on Billboard's album chart. In the 1990s this recording was reissued on CD through Rhino Records. The album was rated the 133rd best album of the 1960s by Pitchfork

Though a bit short on running time at ten songs, this still caught Aretha Franklin at the peak of her early form. Think," "I Say a Little Prayer," "See Saw," and "I Can't See Myself Leaving You" were all big hits. Her choice of cover material included some of her most R&B-drenched early Atlantic cuts, like "Night Time Is the Right Time," "You Send Me," and "I Take What I Want.

Never Grow Old" was reissued by Checker Records in 1957, 1968 and 1973. Precious Lord (Part 1)" was reissued by Checker Records in 1960 and 1969. The following singles were released or re-released after Franklin left Columbia.

The new Aretha Franklin album, Aretha Now, to be released at the end of June shows America’s most important and popular singer walking a very thin line between progress and regression. The best things, although few in number, are among her best ever; the lesser items show that both she and the entire Atlantic staff are having trouble trying to keep the ball rolling. And even the good stuff doesn’t sustain itself over repeated listenings. For some of Aretha’s fans, her first album was her best and each successive one has decreased in interest
