“Run to You” singer Adams reveals he had Aretha’s solo version of the tune on his computer for years.
“When the song was demoed, I told the producers that Aretha would be the one to sing this – and sing it she did,” he said in a statement. “This solo version has been sitting on my computer for years, and when I heard Clive (Davis) was making a film on Aretha’s life, I sent this version to him. The world hasn’t heard her full performance and it really needed to be heard. I’m so glad it’s being released, the world needs this right now.”
