Aretha Franklin will be calling into the Wendy Williams show on Wed., January 12th for a telephone interview. It will be her first since her surgery.

This is wonderful to hear - hopefully The Queen of Soul is doing much better - as I am sure she will say - but - Aretha, being a very guarded person will likely not go much pass that, and thanking everyone for praying for her recovery.

^ Yeah pretty much.

Aretha Franklin Says Her Health Is 'Superb'
Aretha Franklin on talk show says her health's 'superb,' she'll reschedule canceled tour dates

DETROIT January 12, 2011 [[AP)



A month after surgery in Detroit for an undisclosed ailment, Aretha Franklin says her health is "superb."



Franklin called in to Wednesday's installment of "The Wendy Williams Show," telling the host she was relaxing at a casino hotel in her hometown and hopes to begin traveling soon, saying she'll be "looking for a fabulous beach." She says she has two more weeks of down time as she continues her recovery.



The legendary singer also vowed to reschedule the concert dates she missed.



Franklin's voice was strong and steady during the interview, and she hinted she was dating someone.



With the exception of written statements and print interviews with Jet magazine, this was one of the first times the 68-year-old Franklin has been heard since the Dec. 2 surgery.

Funny... no she isnt asking Aretha about a Man

[skooldem1]

Aretha sounds in great spirits.

[luke]

She sounds great-Halle as Aretha-wow!!

[topdiva1]

The Queen of Soul sounds to be in great spirits - Ms Wendy did a great job - and - HOW YOU DOIN???

[glencro]

I thought it was a very good and upbeat interview...Aretha does sound great. I read about Halle playing Aretha before and I thought it was a joke. A few years ago Aretha mentioned Toni Braxton playing her too...hmmm...well, we shall see. But i can see Terrance Howard playing Smokie.

What is RERE thinking - she does not look like Halle - this has to be a joke

[abfan]

I think she meant for halle to play her as a young aretha.Which is not a great fit either

[reese]

Actresses from Halle Berry to Jennifer Hudson have mentioned as a possible contender for the Aretha role. Given Aretha's history of announcing projects that never happen, I'd be surprised if the movie is ever made. But I am glad to hear Aretha sounding in such great spirits.

[marv2]

Aretha was a very goodlooking young woman. I can see Halle playing here although Halle is over 40 herself now.

I can't recall when I heard that MUCH life in Aretha! she was sassy and funny and it was a good interview.
