Day Dreamer
Rock Steady
Brand New Me
Border Song

Young, Gifted and Black är ett musikalbum av Aretha Franklin som lanserades 1972 på Atlantic Records. "Day Dreamer" blev skivans största hitsingel, men även "Rock Steady", "Brand New Me" och Elton John-låten "Border Song" gick bra som singlar i USA. Skivan är både visuellt (på omslaget poserar Franklin i afrikanska kläder) och musikaliskt tydligt färgad av det tidiga 1970-talets Black Power-tankar. Skivan tilldelades 1972 års Grammy för "Bästa kvinnliga R&B-framförande".
