Wearing a lime green gown and bringing her signature vocals, Aretha wowed the audience last night at the Ed Sullivan Theater with her rendition of Adele‘s ‘Rolling In The Deep’ and received a standing ovation.

And after, the Queen of Soul still had breath to stop and chat with Dave! The 72 year old r & b songstress shows no sign of slowing down as her latest cd “Aretha Franklin Sings the Great Diva Classics” is slated for release October 21, 2014 with a subsequent tour and she is even doing a biopic!

For the show last night she brought in historic back-up singers, including Cissy Houston, mother of the late Whitney Houston. In addition, she called in her famous conductor H.B. Barnum and several famed musicians.

Check out her performance below! The single is available today on Amazon and iTunes! 🙂

Update : Here is Aretha performing this morning October 3, 2014 on the Today Show.
