Almighty Fire is the twenty-third studio album by Aretha Franklin, released in 1978. It was produced by Curtis Mayfield, legendary soul singer and songwriter, who also wrote most of the album's songs. This work represented a significant collaboration between two giants of soul music.
The album includes the single 'Almighty Fire (Woman of the Future)', which had moderate success on the R&B charts. Despite the anticipation generated by the union of Franklin and Mayfield, the album did not achieve major commercial impact, peaking at number 63 on the Billboard 200 and number 12 on the R&B albums chart.
Almighty Fire received mixed reviews, with some praising the chemistry between Franklin and Mayfield, while others felt the disco sound did not fully suit the singer's style. It is considered a minor album in her discography, but valued by collectors for its rarity and the unique collaboration.
