On the heels of last month's wonderful "Rare & Unreleased Recordings From the Golden Reign of the Queen of Soul" and next week's "Jewels in the Crown: All-Star Duets With the Queen of Soul," Aretha Franklin will enter a new phase of her roller-coaster career next year with "Aretha: A Woman Falling Out of Love," the debut release of her new label, Aretha Records. "Jewels in the Crown" will fulfill her obligation to Clive Davis's J Records and Arista labels with a collection of collaborations from over the years with singers such as Frank Sinatra, George Michael, and John Legend. And the singer explains that "A Woman Falling Out of Love" was so titled "because it happens to be true. ...It was based on a relationship that I had, and it just didn't happen for a number of reasons." Franklin is also working on a film version of her 1999 autobiography, "Aretha: From These Roots." And here she is in all her 1970 glory.
