This sounds very interesting:

But she still plans to wind down touring: "Nothing lasts forever."

Aretha Franklin may be retiring from the stage -- at some point -- but she has no plans to stop making music.

In fact, Franklin is hard at work on a new album she hopes to have out in January, featuring collaborations with Stevie Wonder, Elton John [[on a version of "Your Song"), Lionel Richie and Yitzhak Perlman. "Lionel's working on his piece, Stevie's working on his piece; they're both originals," Franklin, who's co-executive-producing the album, tells Billboard. "I'm working on a couple of things. I think there will be about 10 [songs] on it, maybe 11, but I'm thinking 10." No title has been determined yet for the album, which will be Franklin's first studio set since 2014's Aretha Franklin Sings the Great Diva Classics and first to feature new material since Aretha: A Woman Falling Out of Love in 2011.

I have a feeling Aretha's semi retirement will be like Cher's and Streisand's...it will go on and on ..thank God!
