La Diva

American singer Aretha Franklin released her twenty-fifth studio album—La Diva—on September 6, 1979, through Atlantic Records. This album was her last one in a long 12-year run with Atlantic, including 19 original albums. La Diva served as a commercial flop, with Franklin attempting to make a disco-oriented comeback with the help of producer Van McCoy. This album stood at the lowest charting as Franklin’s poorest selling work out of the entire catalog of Atlantic Records songs.

Franklin recorded La Diva at her vocal peak, with the album featuring three compositions that she created herself. Read reviews about Aretha Franklin’s La Diva here!
