Through the Storm is the thirty-second studio album by American singer Aretha Franklin. It was released on April 1, 1989, by Arista Records. The title track (a duet with Elton John) was released as the album's second single, reaching number 16 on the US Billboard Hot 100. Despite the success of its lead single, the album was ultimately unsuccessful, peaking at number 55 on the Billboard 200, after spending 18 weeks on the chart. The follow-up single, "It Isn't, It Wasn't, It Ain't Never Gonna Be", (a duet with Whitney Houston), failed to reach the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 41. The album's third single, "Gimme Your Love" (a duet with James Brown) was poorly received, failing to chart on the Billboard Hot 100, and only managing a peak of number 48 on the R&B Songs chart. Other guest artists on the album include The Four Tops and Kenny G. The album was remastered and re-released as an "Expanded Edition" in December 2014 by Funky Town Grooves, with bonus tracks and a second CD of remixes.
