The First Lady of Soul, Aretha Franklin, will drop a new album on November 13th, 2007.
Entitled Jewels In The Crown: All Star Duets With The Queen, the album will feature Franklin teaming up with a diverse array of performers including Keith Richards, Whitney Houston, Annie Lennox, George Michael, Mariah Carey, Frank Sinatra, Mary J Blige, and John Legend, just to name a few.
The first single from the album will be "Put You Up On Game," a duet with American Idol's Fantasia, which will be released to radio on October 1st.
Tracks on the album include: "It Isn't, It Wasn't, It Ain't Never Gonna Be" (with Whitney Houston), "What Y'All Came To Do" (with John Legend), "Doctor's Orders" (with Luther Vandross), "Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves" (with Annie Lennox), "Jumping Jack Flash" (with Keith Richards), "Through The Storm" (with Elton John), "What Now My Love" (with Frank Sinatra), "I Knew You Were Waiting" (with George Michael), "Ever Changing Times" (with Michael McDonald), "Love All The Hurt Away" (with George Benson), "A Natural Woman (You Make Me Feel Like)" (with Bonnie Raitt and Gloria Estefan), "Chain Of Fools" (with Mariah Carey) and "Don't Waste My Time" and "Never Gonna Break My Faith" (with Mary J. Blige and with the Harlem Boys Choir on the latter).
The album concludes with Franklin's performance of "Nessum Dorma," the aria from Act III of Puccini's Turandot. Hardcore music fans may recall that Franklin stepped in at the last minute and performed the aria in place of ailing tenor Luciano Pavarotti at the Grammy awards world wide telecast in February 1998. With just eight minutes of preparation backstage, she sang it with the 72-piece orchestra in Pavarotti's key (three steps lower than her own) .
