Aretha Franklin was on The Tonight Show starring Jay Leno on Monday night for the first time in 30 years. Due to her not flying since 1983, Franklin has only been to the West Coast 4 times since 1983. Her first re-appearance there was after 21 years. Tonight she is in concert at the Nokia Theatre.

She is slated to be in the studio late August with Babyface Ne-Yo and Herbie Hancock for work on her next album on RCA Records/Sony Music Entertainment under the helming of Clive Davis.

from The tonight Show July 23rd

I remembered the Lady of Soul thing.

I didn't know Debbie Gibson had a place named after her.
