NEW YORK (AP) - R. Kelly believes he can fly, and now he wants to sting like a bee.
The R&B star has written two tracks about Muhammad Ali that will be the centerpiece of the soundtrack for the highly anticipated film about the boxing legend.

The "Ali" soundtrack, due November 27, includes Kelly's "The World's Greatest" and "Hold On," along with new Ali-inspired material from Alicia Keys ("Fight") and former boxer Everlast ("The Greatest").

"The World's Greatest," a patriotic ballad driven by the beat of a marching drum, is the album's first single, according to a spokesperson for Interscope Records.

Kelly, who scored with the "Space Jam" soundtrack hit "I Believe I Can Fly" in 1996, recently shot a video for "The World's Greatest" in his hometown of Chicago with director Bille Woodruff (Backstreet Boys, Toni Braxton).

"Ali" was directed by Michael Mann ("The Insider," "Heat") and stars Will Smith in the title role. Jamie Foxx and Jon Voight co-star in the movie, due December 25.

Other soundtrack contributors include Angie Stone, Bilal and newcomer Truth Hurts, who has a cameo in the film and covers the Jerry Butler song "For Your Precious Love."

Aretha Franklin's classic "Ain't No Way" and Al Green's rendition of Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come" are included, as well.

"Ali" soundtrack track list, according to Interscope:

R. Kelly - "The World's Greatest"
Alicia Keys - "Fight"
R. Kelly - "Hold On"
Al Green featuring Booker T. and the MG's - "A Change Is Gonna Come"
Aretha Franklin - "Ain't No Way"
Bilal - "Sometimes"
Angie Stone - "20 Dollars"
Truth Hurts - "For Your Precious Love"
David Elliot - "Bring It on Home to Me"
Everlast - "The Greatest"
Shawn Kane - "Mistreated"
Salif Keita - "Tomorrow"
The Watchtower Four - "All Along the Watchtower"
Martin Tillman - "Odessa"
