Aretha Franklin Sings the Great Diva Classics is the thirty-eighth and final studio album by American singer Aretha Franklin. It was released by RCA Records on October 17, 2014. The album features ten cover versions of songs made famous by female recording artists, including Etta James, Gladys Knight, Alicia Keys, Destiny's Child, and others. Production on the album was overseen by André 3000, Antonio Dixon, Babyface, Harvey Mason, Jr. and Dapo Torimiro. The album was Franklin's first and only recording for RCA, her first studio album to be released under a major label in 11 years, and her first album since 1998 to be executively produced by Clive Davis, her boss at Arista Records, which has since folded into RCA. It is also her last studio album of entirely new and original recordings created prior to her death in 2018; the 2017 album A Brand New Me features vintage vocal performances from the 1960s and 1970s, paired with newer orchestral arrangements.
