    Has Aretha's Grammy performance of "Nessun Dorma" ever been released on DVD or CD? I thought it was but apparently the CD singles that feature a live version as a B-side and the Jewels in the Crown duets collection all contain the MusiCares performance, not the Grammy performance. I guess the MusiCares performance is probably preferred since she rehearsed for it and it was in a key suited for her voice.

    Did they eventually manage to sort out Aretha's estate?
    I seem to remember that she didn't leave a will,or maybe there were several of them...

    It's unclear if that is the version included on this upcoming box (which appears to have been delayed):

    Aretha Franklin - Aretha (2020 4CD box set)

    I hope it is the Grammy version, but I think it's going to be the MusiCares version. It's a guess, but notice that the other televised performances are marked as "previously unreleased" as they weren't issued on record/CD before even though they were available through TV broadcasts. "Nessun Dorma" hasn't been marked that way, so either it's the same MusiCares version, a typo or they used the Grammy performance believing it had been released already.

    Aretha: Queen of Soul - Colorado Springs Philharmonic
    "The Colorado Springs Philharmonic salutes Aretha Franklin with her biggest hits, “Respect,” “Rescue Me,” and many more."

    They list two songs and one of them is not Aretha. She don't remember the Queen of Soul.

    A lot of folks thought that Fontella Bass’ 1965 hit single was Aretha (even some who thought it was Aretha using a made up name), but the big hit was Fontella’s, and I think had Maurice White of later Earth Wind and Fire fame on drums, and later solo star Minnie Ripperton on background vocals.

    Funny. I always called Rescue Me Aretha's biggest hit she never did.:D

    Edit: Unless you got your copy from Napster 25 years ago
