A retha Turns 70, Plans New A lbum , 4
(AP) — Aretha Franklin has
a lot more than her 70th birthday
to celebrate: She's reuniting with
one of her musical mentors, Clive
Davis, for a new album.
In an interview at her swanky
birthday party on Saturday in
New York, Franklin said she
and Davis, who helped engineer
her comeback in the 1980s,
would be working on new mu
sic.
Davis sat next to Franklin for
most of the night at the soiree at
the Helmsley Park Lane Hotel,
which included a sit-down din
ner, a dance performance and a
mini-concert that featured rising
jazz pianist Kris Bowers.
Other guests included Diane
Sawyer, Rev. A1 Sharpton, and
Willie Wilkerson, Franklin's long
time companion and briefly this
year her fiancé.
Wilkerson stood by Franklin's
side as she cut her three-tier,
lime-green birthday cake while
the crowd serenaded her with
Stevie Wonder's version of
"Happy Birthday."
When asked whether mar
riage might once again be in her
future, the Queen of Soul simply Aretha Franklin attends her 70th birthday party in New York,
said: "We'll see what happens." Saturday. (APphoto)
