HAVE "FAITH,"
IT'S ARETHA

This never-before-released version of "Never Gonna Break My Faith" (jointly released by RCA, RCA Inspiration and Sony Legacy) pairs the legendary Aretha Franklin and the Boys' Choir of Harlem. The song, penned by Bryan Adams, was originally recorded as a duet with Mary J. Blige for the 2006 film Bobby.

Iconic exec Clive Davis, Sony Music's Chief Creative Officer and longtime friend of and collaborator with the Queen of Soul, notes, "The world is very different now. Change is everywhere and each of us, hopefully, is doing the best he or she can to move forward and make change as positive as possible. Music can play a major role here and Aretha’s performance is chilling. When you read the song’s lyric, and its relevance to what is happening today, it will shake every fiber in your body. Everyone should hear this record. It deserves to be an anthem."
