Aretha to release star-laden duet album
BY BRIAN MCCOLLUM

And next up: the Queen of Soul.

Aretha Franklin will join a busy fall release schedule with the star-studded duets album "Jewels in the Crown," her label announced Wednesday.

The album will include performances with Whitney Houston, Elton John, Mary J. Blige, Mariah Carey and Keith Richards, among others, along with a pair of technology-enabled duets with the late Frank Sinatra and Luther Vandross.

The record's leadoff single, "Put You Up on Game" with "American Idol" winner Fantasia, will be issued to radio Oct. 1.

The Arista Records release is the Detroit star's first album in four years. There's still no date for the much-postponed debut album on Franklin's own Aretha Records, tentatively titled "A Woman Falling Out of Love," originally scheduled for release this summer.

Faith is going to appear on the album too.

Sounds like a great line up. But, with Fantasia leading off, it's definitely one album that won't make my collection.

Me neither. I just plan on downloading her song with Faith.
