Aretha Franklin Sings the Great Diva Classics é o trigésimo oitavo álbum de estúdio da cantora americana Aretha Franklin e foi lançado em 17 de outubro de 2014. Possui dez covers de canções que ficou famosa por alguma cantora. Esta é a primeira gravação de Aretha para RCA Records e seu primeiro álbum de estúdio a ser lançado sob uma grande gravadora em 11 anos - desde o lançamento de seu álbum de estúdio de 2003, So Damn Happy, lançado pelo selo da Arista.

É também seu primeiro álbum, desde 1998, a ser produzido por Clive Davis, seu ex-chefe também da Arista Records. Davis chamou o álbum de "pura e simplesmente sensacional" e disse que de Aretha Franklin "está pegando fogo e vocalmente em uma forma absolutamente no pico. Que emoção de ver a artista inigualável ainda mostrando o caminho, ainda provocando arrepios na espinha, ainda demonstrando que toda a música contemporânea precisa agora é a voz, e que voz". A produção do álbum inclui produtores André 3000, Clive Davis, Antonio Dixon, Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds, Terry Hunter, Eric Kupper, Harvey Mason, Jr., Dapo Torimiro, Wayne Williams, entre outros.

O primeiro single do álbum é um cover da cantora Adele, "Rolling in the Deep", intitulado como "Rolling in the Deep (The Aretha Versiom)", que também inclui uma parte das letras do hit de Marvin Gaye e Tammi Terrell, "Ain't No Mountain High Enough". O single estreou na 47ª posição na Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. Aretha torna-se assim a primeira mulher, e quarta artista global, que colocou 100 músicas do gráfico, com sua primeira entrada na Billboard com seu primeiro single "Today I Sing The Blues", em 1960.

There's a fire burning in my heart

Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringing me out the dark

Finally, I can see you crystal clear

Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your shit bare

See how I'll leave with every part of you

Don't underestimate the things that I will do

There's a fire burning in my heart

Reaching a fever pitch and its bringing me out the dark

The scars of your love remind me of us

It keeps me thinking we almost had it all

The scars of your love, it keeps me breathless

I can't help thinking

We could've had it all

(You're gonna wish you never had met me)

Rolling in the deep

(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

You had my heart inside of your hand

(You're gonna wish you never had met me)

But you played it to the beat

(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

Baby, I have no story to be told

But I've heard one of you and I'm gonna make your head burn

(Woah) think of me in the depths of your despair

Making a home down there, as mine sure won't be shared

The scars of your love remind me of us

It keeps me thinking we almost had it all

The scars of your love, it keeps me breathless

I can't help thinking

We could've had it all

(You're gonna wish you never had met me)

Rolling in the deep

(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

You had my heart inside of your hand

(You're gonna wish you never had met me)

But you played it to the beat

(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

We could've had it all

(You're gonna wish you never had met me)

Rolling in the deep

(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

You had my heart inside of your hand

(You're gonna wish you never had met me)

But you played it to the beat, to the beat

(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

Throw your soul through every open door

Count your blessings to find what you look for

Turn my sorrow into treasured gold

You pay me back in kind and reap just what you sow

You know that ain't no mountain high enough

Ain't no valley low enough

Ain't no river wide enough

To keep me from getting to you, babe

You know that ain't no mountain high enough

Ain't no valley low enough

Ain't no river wide enough

To keep me from getting to you, babe

We could've had it all (oh)

Rolling in the deep (oh)

You had my heart inside of your hand (oh)

But you played it to the beat

(Rolling in the deep)

We could've had it all

(You're gonna wish you never had met me)

Rolling, rolling, rolling

(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

(You're gonna wish you never had met me)

Oh, yeah, oh, yeah

(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
