Aretha is retiring: Singer plans 1 more album

Aretha Franklin is planning to retire this year, she told Detroit TV station WDIV Local 4, the city's NBC affiliate.

The singer says she will make one more album, with several tracks produced by Stevie Wonder, and will otherwise limit herself to "some select things, many one a month, for six months out of the year" as she devotes more time to her grandchildren.

Franklin, whose many hits include "Respect" and "Think," added that she did not want to do "just nothing."
