Aretha Franklin Sings The Great Diva Classics (Vinyl)

Aretha Franklin Sings the Great Diva Classics is the 38th and final studio album by legendary US recording artist Aretha Franklin, originally released in 2014. It features brilliant covers of songs made famous by female recording artists.

This was Aretha’s first and only recording for RCA Records, her first studio album to be released under a major label in 11 years and her first album since 1998 to be executive produced by Clive Davis, her then label boss at Arista.

It is also her last studio album of entirely original recordings created prior to her death, as the subsequent 2017 album A Brand New Me features vintage vocal performances from the 1960s and 1970s paired with newer orchestral arrangements.
