Aretha Franklin Announces New Album & Performs on David Letterman

The Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin recently announced she will be releasing a new album entitled Aretha Franklin Sings The Great Diva Classics. On the new album, the legendary singer covers the classic diva hits sung by other artists such as Barbra Streisand and Gladys Knight. The first single off of the project releasing on October 21st is her rendition of Adale's hit single "Rolling In The Deep". This past Monday she visited David Letterman on the Late Show and sung the song, backed with five background singers. Interestingly, one of her singers was another legend, Cissy Houston. Nonetheless, Aretha reminded us all why she's still the Queen of Soul. 


Check out the performance & album tracklisting below. . .
