Aretha Franklin plans diva covers album
Aretha Franklin may cover Bootylicious on a new covers album. The singer is apparently mulling Destiny's Child's track for a collection of songs recorded by other famous divas.
"It's a concept CD," Franklin recently told Billboard. "They're records that, musically, I respected and that I liked a lot and that I would love to have one go-'round with ... [They were all] things that were very, very good and certainly chart-worthy and sold a lot of records."
Franklin already has her shortlist of 10 tracks, which include Barbra Streisand's People and Donna Summer's 1978 disco hit Last Dance. She said she was also "thinking of" laying down a version of Bootylicious. The 71-year-old will begin recording vocals on New Year's Day, working with a superstar production team: Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, Don Was, and executive producer Clive Davis... Resad on Here

Does anyone else remember when she performed "Touch My Body" at one of her concerts a few years ago?
