Aretha Franklin has not lost her groove!
The 69-year-old soul singer has announced her engagement to long time friend William "Willie" Wilkerson, according to The Associated Press.
The Grammy-winning singer told The Associated Press in a statement Monday that she and Wilkerson are considering a summer wedding, perhaps in Miami Beach, Fla. The Queen of Soul wants to follow the ceremony with a reception on a private yacht.

Franklin and Wilkerson became engaged over the holidays.
She is considering Vera Wang, Valentino and Donna Karan to design her dress.
