AP: What's it like to perform for gospel fans?
Franklin: It's just being me and back at home -- that's it. Just being back on the old campground; that's how I was brought up. I came up in gospel. Like Johnnie Taylor used to say, 'I'm an old gospel singer.'
AP: What are you going to sing?
Franklin: I'm going to sing some things from 'Amazing Grace' and then 'One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism.'
AP: Are you working with Babyface on your new album?
Franklin: Clive (Davis) has talked to Face and to Danger Mouse about producing my new CD for RCA. And right now I am just waiting to hear from them to see exactly what they are going to do.
AP: What sound do you want to take on?
Franklin: Well, I'm not producing it. I'm just waiting to see what they come with. ... It should be good. As long as it's good music. I love all music. It's got to be constructed properly.
AP: I know you're a fan of Adele, and she's covered some of your songs. Would you ever do a duet with her?
Franklin: I think it would be good. ... She has some great material. I like her material. She's a very fine writer. (Her songs) were all very original and all very different.
