Aretha Franklin has a long history of covering songs and making them her own, and her latest is no exception. Franklin has most recently released a cover of Adele's 'Rolling in the Deep,' which you can listen to online now.

Franklin's new album, 'Aretha Franklin Sings the Diva Classics' is set to debut tonight on Letterman, just barely making the Grammy submission cut off date, which is September 30th. The CD/Digital release for the album is set for October 21st.

Franklin is one of the most influential and important voices in the history of American music, with a repertoire that spans pop, soul, jazz, rock, blues and gospel. In 2009, Franklin was named the #1 Vocalist of All Time by Rolling Stone magazine. With her ever-distinctive, soulful, to-the-bone vocal style, she has graced music charts for nearly five decades and her 'live' performances have touched the hearts of tens of millions since she began her musical journey in Detroit as a singing child prodigy. It is her rich legacy of recordings that are a testament to the power, majesty and genius of this one-of-a-kind artist of the first order.
