In his autobio, John Hammond said that Columbia didn't really produce Aretha the way she needed. He suggested songs for her to record (hence the bias toward jazz/blues material) but he was glad when she went to Atlantic where she would get the type of producers she needed and would record more R&B / Soul material.
