RIAA gold record award presented to Aretha Franklin. Franklin’s third Atlantic Records release, Lady Soul, charted three top ten and two gold singles: ‘Chain of Fools,’ ‘You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman’ and ‘(Sweet Sweet Baby) Since (You’ve Been Gone,’ leaving no doubt that she was firmly entrenched as the world’s top selling female artist on both the rhythm & blues and pop charts in 1968. The engraved plaque reads: “Presented to Aretha Franklin to Commemorate the Sale of More than One Million Dollars Worth of the Atlantic Records Long-Playing Album ‘Lady Soul.” The album is one of two Aretha Franklin albums included among the top 100 albums of all-time in Rolling Stone Magazine’s poll rankings; the other being I Never Loved A Man (The Way I Love You). Original issue RIAA record awards presented to the artists are highly desired. There is no better a title from the Aretha Franklin catalog as Lady Soul, produced at the pinnacle of her still ascending career. The font utilized on the engraved plaque and type of moulding suggests this ‘white-matte’ award was produced in the early 1970s. Framed with a commemorative plaque and mini album cover, to an overall size of 17.5 x 21.5. In very good condition, with scattered light foxing to the album sticker, loose fabric around the plaque, and the glass piece missing from the frame.
