This Girl's in Love with You is the sixteenth studio album by American singer Aretha Franklin, released on January 15, 1970[1] by Atlantic Records. It reached Billboard's Top 20 and was reissued on compact disc through Rhino Records in 1993.[1] Her version of The Beatles' "Let It Be" was the first recording of the song to be commercially issued (The Beatles did not release "Let It Be" as a single until March 1970). Songwriter Paul McCartney sent Franklin and Atlantic Records a demo of the song as a guide.[4]
