What album is aretha Franklin's rescue me on?

"Rescue Me" is a song written by Fontella Bass, Raynard Miner and Carl Smith. In 1965, it was released as a single by Fontella Bass. It would prove the biggest hit of Bass's career, reaching the number one spot on the R&B charts for four weeks and placing at number four on the Billboard Hot 100.[1] "Rescue Me" also peaked at number eleven on the UK Singles Chart.The hit version of the song is often misattributed to Aretha Franklin, another singer with gospel training who has a similar style to that of Bass. In 1993, Franklin did record a portion of "Rescue Me" (with a very similar arrangement to Bass's original) for an American Express commercial. The original song was also used during the films Air America and Sister Act.
