Freeway of Love "Freeway of Love" is a Grammy Award-winning hit song released as the first single from Aretha Franklin's Platinum-certified 1985 album "Who's Zoomin' Who?" produced by Narada Michael Walden. It was one of 1985's biggest hits in the United States, reaching the #3 position of the "Billboard" Hot 100 chart, and topping the Hot R&B Singles chart for five weeks (from July 27, 1985 to August 24, 1985).
Break It to Me Gently (Aretha Franklin song) "Break It to Me Gently" is a song written by Carole Bayer Sager and Marvin Hamlisch which was an R&B hit for Aretha Franklin in 1977. Released from the "Sweet Passion" album, it reached Number 1 on the Hot Soul Singles chart in June 1977. The song's success was only faintly reflected on the "Billboard" Hot 100 with a Number 85 peak, before dropping out of the Hot 100 after two weeks.
