1
00:00:51,415 --> 00:00:54,779
-

2
00:01:02,525 --> 00:01:03,590
Ree?

3
00:01:05,132 --> 00:01:06,494
Ree?

4
00:01:07,596 --> 00:01:08,760
Wake up, baby.

5
00:01:14,537 --> 00:01:16,273
They wanna hear you sing.

6
00:01:19,146 --> 00:01:19,771
You wanna sing?

7
00:01:20,708 --> 00:01:21,641
Yes, please.

8
00:01:22,545 --> 00:01:23,742
All right.

9
00:01:35,459 --> 00:01:37,756
Clarence,
Ella's looking for you.

10
00:01:38,693 --> 00:01:40,165
Wait here, Ree.

11
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,299
-I'll be right back.
-Okay.

12
00:01:42,334 --> 00:01:43,465
They butchered
my essay.

13
00:01:43,500 --> 00:01:44,433
Took all the politics out.

14
00:01:44,468 --> 00:01:45,797
Can you believe that?

15
00:01:45,832 --> 00:01:48,272
Communism is absolutely
for the Negro.

16
00:01:48,307 --> 00:01:49,834
How else are we gonna have
everything we ever wanted?

17
00:01:49,869 --> 00:01:51,143
Now, how does
a man with one eye

18
00:01:51,178 --> 00:01:52,144
play like he has four hands?

19
00:01:53,312 --> 00:01:54,608
You been practicing?

20
00:01:54,643 --> 00:01:56,247
Yes, Mr. Tatum.

21
00:01:56,282 --> 00:01:57,809
She could hit
three octaves easy.

22
00:01:57,844 --> 00:02:00,680
You know, you the finest
looking cat here, right?

23
00:02:00,715 --> 00:02:02,550
Nigga, I know that.

24
00:02:02,585 --> 00:02:03,815
What else you got?

25
00:02:08,261 --> 00:02:09,821
Hey, Ree.

26
00:02:09,856 --> 00:02:11,328
Hey, Uncle Sam.

27
00:02:11,363 --> 00:02:13,363
No more segregated
clubs for me.

28
00:02:13,398 --> 00:02:14,826
I'm not walking through
no one's kitchen

29
00:02:14,861 --> 00:02:16,861
to get to the stage.

30
00:02:16,896 --> 00:02:20,337
I said to them,
"I'm so happy to be
performing in England,

31
00:02:20,372 --> 00:02:21,569
but just remember

32
00:02:21,604 --> 00:02:23,241
there's only one Heaven,
one Earth,

33
00:02:23,276 --> 00:02:24,836
and one queen.

34
00:02:24,871 --> 00:02:26,904
Me. Dinah Washington."

35
00:02:28,743 --> 00:02:30,710
"That Elizabeth on y'alls
throne is an imposter."

36
00:02:30,745 --> 00:02:32,745
-You didn't.
-Oh, yes, I did.

37
00:02:32,780 --> 00:02:35,352
-And I made 'em bow before me.
-

38
00:02:35,387 --> 00:02:37,420
Well, look out, y'all.

39
00:02:38,225 --> 00:02:39,686
The entertainer is here.

40
00:02:40,227 --> 00:02:41,622
Hi.

41
00:02:41,657 --> 00:02:43,360
He said he wanted
a race novel.

42
00:02:43,395 --> 00:02:45,791
Sure, he desegregated
the army.

43
00:02:45,826 --> 00:02:47,298
But he didn't do
a damn thing after that.

44
00:02:47,333 --> 00:02:49,861
-Hi, Aunt Ella. Uncle Duke.
-Hey.

45
00:02:49,896 --> 00:02:51,599
You ready, Ree?
Come on.

46
00:02:57,772 --> 00:03:00,377
Everyone.

47
00:03:00,412 --> 00:03:02,643
Everyone.

48
00:03:02,678 --> 00:03:05,877
For those of you visiting
my home for the first time,

49
00:03:06,814 --> 00:03:10,552
this is my daughter, Aretha.

50
00:03:10,587 --> 00:03:13,291
She'd like to sing
a little something for you.

51
00:03:13,326 --> 00:03:14,457
What would you
like to sing, Ree?

52
00:03:15,988 --> 00:03:17,922
How old is she?

53
00:03:17,957 --> 00:03:19,693
She's 10,

54
00:03:19,728 --> 00:03:21,926
but her voice's
going on 30, honey.

55
00:03:21,961 --> 00:03:24,566
Aretha would
like to perform

56
00:03:24,601 --> 00:03:26,634
My Baby Likes to Bebop.

57
00:03:26,933 --> 00:03:28,471
Damn!

58
00:03:28,506 --> 00:03:29,934
I was gonna record that
on my next album.

59
00:03:31,674 --> 00:03:33,278
Can we do a duet?

60
00:03:43,422 --> 00:03:46,654
'Cause my baby likes to bebop

61
00:03:55,830 --> 00:03:56,829
Sing, baby!

62
00:04:08,711 --> 00:04:12,416
Do a dance and a flip-flop

63
00:04:12,451 --> 00:04:15,320
Like the hepcats do

64
00:04:15,355 --> 00:04:18,554
"My baby likes to bebop"

65
00:04:43,548 --> 00:04:45,042
Back to bed with you.

66
00:04:56,495 --> 00:04:59,859
Go marching in

67
00:04:59,894 --> 00:05:02,664
Those white folks don't know
what to do with her.

68
00:05:02,699 --> 00:05:04,369
Sock it to 'em, Clara!

69
00:05:04,404 --> 00:05:05,535
Yeah, Grandma!

70
00:05:05,570 --> 00:05:08,406
Sock it to 'em!
Sock it to 'em!

71
00:05:16,911 --> 00:05:17,844
Momma's here!

72
00:05:22,719 --> 00:05:23,883
Momma!
-

73
00:05:26,052 --> 00:05:29,020
God! Babe,
I missed you so much.

74
00:05:29,957 --> 00:05:31,396
Hi! Momma!

75
00:05:33,092 --> 00:05:34,498
Mommy!

76
00:05:35,963 --> 00:05:37,336
My babies!

77
00:05:37,998 --> 00:05:39,866
My precious!

78
00:05:50,846 --> 00:05:52,384
Come on, let's go! Let's go!

79
00:05:52,419 --> 00:05:53,649
-Let's go!
- Bye, Grandma!

80
00:05:53,684 --> 00:05:54,815
Come on, baby!

81
00:05:54,850 --> 00:05:55,849
Let's go in the car!

82
00:05:59,855 --> 00:06:03,956
That way

83
00:06:03,991 --> 00:06:07,663
In the morning sun

84
00:06:07,698 --> 00:06:11,898
The night is new

85
00:06:34,021 --> 00:06:35,559
Sing another one, Momma!

86
00:06:35,594 --> 00:06:37,759
Oh, Ree,
that's the third song now.

87
00:06:37,794 --> 00:06:39,629
Please?

88
00:06:39,664 --> 00:06:40,960
No, I want to talk.

89
00:06:40,995 --> 00:06:42,797
Please?
-Oh, God.

90
00:06:43,503 --> 00:06:44,898
Oh, all right.

91
00:06:45,868 --> 00:06:48,440
What if I sing-talk, hmm?

92
00:07:03,820 --> 00:07:04,918
We praising
the Lord, Momma!

93
00:07:06,658 --> 00:07:08,086
-

94
00:07:08,121 --> 00:07:09,220
-

95
00:07:09,256 --> 00:07:10,990
-

96
00:07:21,541 --> 00:07:23,871
You still singing
at the Saturday night parties?

97
00:07:23,906 --> 00:07:25,037
Yeah.

98
00:07:25,072 --> 00:07:26,907
Mmm. Don't say "yeah".

99
00:07:26,942 --> 00:07:29,811
"Yeah" is common. Say "yes".

100
00:07:29,846 --> 00:07:30,944
Yes.

101
00:07:31,584 --> 00:07:32,946
You enjoy it?

102
00:07:32,981 --> 00:07:34,783
-Yeah. Yes.
-Uh-uh.

103
00:07:36,248 --> 00:07:39,018
Look at me, Ree.

104
00:07:39,053 --> 00:07:41,691
If you ever don't
want to sing, don't.

105
00:07:41,726 --> 00:07:42,890
I love singing.

106
00:07:42,925 --> 00:07:44,595
No, I know. I know.

107
00:07:46,830 --> 00:07:49,633
Your daddy doesn't
own your voice, Ree.

108
00:07:49,668 --> 00:07:51,998
Nobody does but God.

109
00:07:53,067 --> 00:07:55,870
And you don't ever
have to fear any man.

110
00:07:57,236 --> 00:07:58,741
You understand?

111
00:08:01,075 --> 00:08:03,548
You are so worthy, Ree.

112
00:08:03,583 --> 00:08:05,880
Don't you ever let anybody
tell you otherwise.

113
00:08:06,817 --> 00:08:08,047
Yes, Momma.

114
00:08:12,724 --> 00:08:14,086
Oh, Ree, don't cry.

115
00:08:14,121 --> 00:08:15,923
Come on, I'll see you
for your birthday.

116
00:08:15,958 --> 00:08:17,056
Three weeks is a long time.

117
00:08:17,091 --> 00:08:19,861
I know, but I am
always with you.

118
00:08:19,896 --> 00:08:21,500
Even when I'm not there.

119
00:08:21,865 --> 00:08:23,029
Okay?

120
00:08:28,839 --> 00:08:30,036
Go.

121
00:08:42,985 --> 00:08:45,557
Ree, get back here!

122
00:08:48,056 --> 00:08:49,121
Ree!

123
00:08:52,258 --> 00:08:53,092
Goodbye!

124
00:08:57,670 --> 00:08:59,065
Bye, Momma!

125
00:09:03,973 --> 00:09:05,104
We're marching
Marching up to Zion

126
00:09:08,747 --> 00:09:09,680
Ree?

127
00:09:10,078 --> 00:09:11,110
Ree?

128
00:09:13,081 --> 00:09:15,312
I'm the oldest. I should be
in the front of the line.

129
00:09:15,347 --> 00:09:16,115
Hush.

130
00:09:18,955 --> 00:09:20,823
We have nothing
to fear, church.

131
00:09:22,288 --> 00:09:25,762
'Cause what is the white man
compared to God?

132
00:09:29,229 --> 00:09:32,164
What is any law, any injustice

133
00:09:32,199 --> 00:09:34,870
compared to the power
of our Lord?

134
00:09:38,370 --> 00:09:42,845
'Cause He will deliver us
from the den like Daniel.

135
00:09:44,178 --> 00:09:47,311
And Daniel went
into that lion's den.

136
00:09:48,248 --> 00:09:51,689
Daniel went into
that lion's den.

137
00:09:51,724 --> 00:09:53,889
-Yes, Jesus!
-Not yelling,

138
00:09:53,924 --> 00:09:55,693
nor fussing.

139
00:09:55,728 --> 00:09:56,892
Not crying!

140
00:09:56,927 --> 00:09:58,894
-Not complaining!
-No!

141
00:09:58,929 --> 00:10:00,324
Praising the Lord!

142
00:10:00,359 --> 00:10:02,832
-Yeah!
-'Cause he knew

143
00:10:02,867 --> 00:10:04,636
the Lord was with him.

144
00:10:04,671 --> 00:10:07,199
He feared no man!

145
00:10:07,234 --> 00:10:09,036
Can you hear me, church?

146
00:10:09,071 --> 00:10:10,774
I wish somebody
would pray with me

147
00:10:10,809 --> 00:10:12,776
-'cause He will!
-He will!

148
00:10:12,811 --> 00:10:14,239
He will!
-He will!

149
00:10:14,274 --> 00:10:17,374
He will shut the jaws
of segregation,

150
00:10:17,409 --> 00:10:19,178
and any man, person,

151
00:10:19,213 --> 00:10:21,686
or institution that would dare

152
00:10:21,721 --> 00:10:23,655
stand against us.

153
00:10:23,690 --> 00:10:26,350
He took us from slavery,

154
00:10:26,385 --> 00:10:29,727
he took us from
the valley of reconstruction.

155
00:10:29,762 --> 00:10:31,729
- Freedom!

156
00:10:31,764 --> 00:10:33,390
-Freedom!
- Freedom!

157
00:10:33,425 --> 00:10:34,831
Freedom!

158
00:10:34,866 --> 00:10:36,195
-Freedom!
- Freedom!

159
00:10:36,230 --> 00:10:38,967
Freedom now!
Praise Him! Praise Him!

160
00:10:39,002 --> 00:10:41,772
-Preach, Daddy, preach!
- Hallelujah.

161
00:10:50,717 --> 00:10:52,750
Hey? Ree?

162
00:10:52,785 --> 00:10:54,818
Ree!

163
00:10:54,853 --> 00:10:56,721
How come
you're not singing tonight?

164
00:10:57,724 --> 00:10:59,317
Daddy didn't ask me to.

165
00:11:00,892 --> 00:11:02,793
What's your doll's name?

166
00:11:06,392 --> 00:11:07,963
Dee.

167
00:11:07,998 --> 00:11:10,669
Mmm. That's a pretty name.

168
00:11:13,036 --> 00:11:15,036
You're pretty, too.

169
00:11:15,071 --> 00:11:16,433
What's your boyfriend's name?

170
00:11:16,468 --> 00:11:18,941
I don't have
a boyfriend.

171
00:11:19,878 --> 00:11:21,845
I can be your boyfriend.

172
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:23,209
Would you like that?

173
00:11:24,410 --> 00:11:26,212
We'll have fun.

174
00:11:58,378 --> 00:11:59,982
Come on, Ree!

175
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:03,150
I don't want to.

176
00:12:03,185 --> 00:12:04,789
Ree, I will beat your behind.

177
00:12:10,258 --> 00:12:11,961
What are you doing?

178
00:12:11,996 --> 00:12:13,424
I don't care if you beat me.

179
00:12:13,459 --> 00:12:15,228
I don't want my hair done.

180
00:12:15,263 --> 00:12:17,032
Don't you wanna look pretty
for church tomorrow?

181
00:12:17,067 --> 00:12:18,902
No!

182
00:12:18,937 --> 00:12:20,266
Y'all wait in the living room.

183
00:12:21,203 --> 00:12:23,170
Come on.

184
00:12:23,205 --> 00:12:24,435
Don't sweat out all my work.

185
00:12:24,470 --> 00:12:26,140
That's gotta last you
all week!

186
00:12:28,540 --> 00:12:30,012
Sit down.

187
00:12:35,382 --> 00:12:37,151
You wanna tell me
what's wrong?

188
00:12:39,353 --> 00:12:40,418
Ree-Ree?

189
00:12:47,130 --> 00:12:49,933
I know you don't
wanna tell me,

190
00:12:49,968 --> 00:12:53,101
but you can always
tell the Lord, Ree.

191
00:12:53,136 --> 00:12:55,301
He loves you, no matter what.

192
00:13:28,534 --> 00:13:31,304
You're supposed
to be in bed, Ree.

193
00:13:31,339 --> 00:13:35,913
my every burden

194
00:13:35,948 --> 00:13:37,079
Come, come and join me
for a while.

195
00:13:46,926 --> 00:13:51,489
Whoa, yes

196
00:13:53,031 --> 00:13:54,360
What if I wasn't here?

197
00:13:58,036 --> 00:14:00,531
What do you mean by that?

198
00:14:03,173 --> 00:14:06,306
-I don't know.
-

199
00:14:11,984 --> 00:14:13,478
Hello?

200
00:14:13,513 --> 00:14:14,985
See how nicely
their voices are blending?

201
00:14:16,087 --> 00:14:18,120
They let Sam
take the proper lead.

202
00:14:19,618 --> 00:14:24,291
Too many members of our choir
try to stand out

203
00:14:24,326 --> 00:14:25,457
instead of supporting
the soloist.

204
00:14:25,492 --> 00:14:26,458
Clarence?

205
00:14:28,363 --> 00:14:30,066
Come to the phone.

206
00:14:32,103 --> 00:14:34,466
-Play this next.
-Okay.

207
00:14:37,009 --> 00:14:38,305
Right back.

208
00:14:43,279 --> 00:14:45,510
Barbara's dead.
- How?

209
00:14:45,545 --> 00:14:47,479
Heart attack.

210
00:14:52,090 --> 00:14:54,453
I'll tell them
in the morning, Mama.

211
00:14:54,488 --> 00:14:57,324
No. No, you cannot
wait till tomorrow

212
00:14:57,359 --> 00:15:00,327
to tell them
their momma is dead.

213
00:15:00,362 --> 00:15:01,559
-

214
00:15:06,104 --> 00:15:07,367
No. No.

215
00:15:09,008 --> 00:15:10,073
Ree?

216
00:15:34,297 --> 00:15:35,494
Ree?

217
00:15:46,672 --> 00:15:48,342
I'm sorry, baby.

218
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,511
Let's go inside.

219
00:16:14,073 --> 00:16:19,439
dear Ree-Ree

220
00:16:25,711 --> 00:16:27,513
Come on now, Ree.

221
00:16:31,189 --> 00:16:33,024
She just miss her momma.

222
00:16:33,059 --> 00:16:34,355
They all missin' her,

223
00:16:34,786 --> 00:16:37,193
but how long
she gonna keep silent?

224
00:16:37,228 --> 00:16:38,623
Goin' on three weeks.
She gotta...

225
00:16:38,658 --> 00:16:41,527
She just needs a little time.
That's all.

226
00:16:41,727 --> 00:16:43,067
Ree?

227
00:16:44,466 --> 00:16:48,732
Miss Clara made you
this beautiful cake,

228
00:16:48,767 --> 00:16:50,668
and Reverend James
came especially for you.

229
00:16:51,374 --> 00:16:53,209
What do you say, Ree?

230
00:16:56,610 --> 00:16:58,049
Do you say, "Thank you"?

231
00:16:59,481 --> 00:17:00,579
-Do you say something?
-

232
00:17:02,286 --> 00:17:03,714
Make a wish, Ree.

233
00:17:07,621 --> 00:17:08,587
I can't do this.

234
00:17:11,427 --> 00:17:14,395
Come on.
- Momma. Momma.

235
00:17:14,430 --> 00:17:15,561
Come on, baby. It's all right.

236
00:17:15,596 --> 00:17:16,562
-Momma. Momma.
-It's all right.

237
00:17:16,597 --> 00:17:18,564
-Come on, baby.
-Momma.

238
00:17:18,599 --> 00:17:22,469
-

239
00:17:29,775 --> 00:17:31,544
Why are you hiding over there?

240
00:17:31,579 --> 00:17:33,645
Come on over here
and get your lesson.

241
00:17:34,681 --> 00:17:36,681
You know this one.

242
00:17:37,816 --> 00:17:40,355
Tell you what,
I'll be the choir

243
00:17:40,390 --> 00:17:41,719
and you play the lead.

244
00:17:45,428 --> 00:17:46,823
Three, four...

245
00:17:58,804 --> 00:18:01,541
Ree is helping me
with my arrangement.

246
00:18:01,576 --> 00:18:02,740
I see.

247
00:18:03,875 --> 00:18:05,776
Has she spoken to you?

248
00:18:05,811 --> 00:18:08,614
that far

249
00:18:12,422 --> 00:18:16,589
Do you think you can
stay silent forever, Ree? Hmm?

250
00:18:21,695 --> 00:18:22,760
Look at me.

251
00:18:26,832 --> 00:18:29,536
We must honor the gifts
that God has given us, Ree.

252
00:18:31,177 --> 00:18:34,772
You will be singing
in church tomorrow.

253
00:18:36,908 --> 00:18:39,381
James, can you prepare her?

254
00:18:40,417 --> 00:18:42,318
Yes, sir.

255
00:18:42,353 --> 00:18:43,583
Thank you.

256
00:19:07,543 --> 00:19:09,807
Don't let nothin' come between
you and your music, Ree.

257
00:19:13,384 --> 00:19:15,681
Music will save your life.

258
00:19:21,623 --> 00:19:23,656
God holds our hand.

259
00:19:23,691 --> 00:19:24,723
Yeah!
-Through Him,

260
00:19:24,758 --> 00:19:27,198
we can do anything!

261
00:19:27,233 --> 00:19:28,595
He's a catcher!

262
00:19:28,630 --> 00:19:30,663
A dream catcher!

263
00:19:30,698 --> 00:19:32,335
Amen!

264
00:19:32,370 --> 00:19:33,501
Amen.
- Amen.

265
00:19:35,439 --> 00:19:37,241
And now,

266
00:19:37,276 --> 00:19:40,640
my daughter Aretha
will bless us with song.

267
00:21:03,021 --> 00:21:08,497
-
guilty stains

268
00:21:11,062 --> 00:21:17,341
Lose all their
guilty stains
-

269
00:21:17,376 --> 00:21:20,608
-

270
00:21:40,564 --> 00:21:42,795
-

271
00:21:42,830 --> 00:21:44,599
-

272
00:21:51,839 --> 00:21:53,839
-

273
00:21:57,812 --> 00:22:02,980
running through the flood?

274
00:22:17,997 --> 00:22:20,503
I wonder,
do you feel all right?

275
00:22:20,538 --> 00:22:21,834
Yes!

276
00:22:21,869 --> 00:22:22,967
I said,
do you feel all right?

277
00:22:23,002 --> 00:22:24,507
Yes!

278
00:22:25,543 --> 00:22:27,004
Amen.

279
00:22:28,678 --> 00:22:31,646
I'm ecstatic to be able
to report to you

280
00:22:31,681 --> 00:22:34,979
that the day before yesterday,
we filled up the jail.

281
00:22:36,785 --> 00:22:39,115
We have already won a victory
here in Birmingham.

282
00:22:39,150 --> 00:22:40,391
Amen!

283
00:22:41,625 --> 00:22:43,526
Due, in no small part,

284
00:22:43,561 --> 00:22:46,089
to the valiant work
of our leader.

285
00:22:46,124 --> 00:22:48,960
A man whom I feel
honored to call my friend.

286
00:22:50,502 --> 00:22:54,867
The Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

287
00:22:54,902 --> 00:22:58,409
All right! Yes, sir!
Yes, sir! Yes, sir!

288
00:23:03,845 --> 00:23:05,548
Come on! Somebody!

289
00:23:13,492 --> 00:23:15,888
Some people

290
00:23:15,923 --> 00:23:18,891
think that we are crazy

291
00:23:18,926 --> 00:23:20,893
for taking on this fight.

292
00:23:20,928 --> 00:23:22,466
Yes!

293
00:23:22,501 --> 00:23:25,832
But the forces against us
are strong,

294
00:23:25,867 --> 00:23:28,967
and they are determined
to stop us.

295
00:23:29,002 --> 00:23:33,103
But we are just
as determined to go on!

296
00:23:35,778 --> 00:23:37,943
Non-violently,

297
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,111
with love.

298
00:23:41,146 --> 00:23:44,455
As long as it takes
to win our freedom.

299
00:23:44,490 --> 00:23:45,588
Yes!

300
00:23:46,791 --> 00:23:49,856
And Jesus is here with us
every single step of the way.

301
00:23:52,025 --> 00:23:53,464
Amen!

302
00:23:53,499 --> 00:23:54,432
Yes, sir!

303
00:23:56,029 --> 00:23:57,600
Uncle Martin...

304
00:23:57,635 --> 00:24:01,131
Now don't call me
Uncle Martin anymore.

305
00:24:01,166 --> 00:24:02,638
You make me feel old,
that's the problem.

306
00:24:02,673 --> 00:24:03,870
I want to march.

307
00:24:04,906 --> 00:24:06,609
Don't look at me
like I'm still a child.

308
00:24:06,644 --> 00:24:07,775
I'm not afraid.

309
00:24:07,810 --> 00:24:09,480
-Oh, you're not?
-No.

310
00:24:09,515 --> 00:24:10,910
Well, damn.

311
00:24:10,945 --> 00:24:12,912
Then you need to be
leadin' this movement

312
00:24:12,947 --> 00:24:15,013
and teaching me how to not be

313
00:24:15,048 --> 00:24:17,180
terrified of these
crazy white folks.

314
00:24:17,215 --> 00:24:19,490
Martin...
-

315
00:24:19,987 --> 00:24:22,053
Why do you want to march?

316
00:24:22,088 --> 00:24:25,023
After all this time
traveling with you,

317
00:24:25,058 --> 00:24:26,662
after all the horror
we've seen,

318
00:24:26,697 --> 00:24:27,993
what kind of question is that?

319
00:24:30,932 --> 00:24:32,965
Are you runnin'
from your daddy?

320
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:34,065
No.

321
00:24:36,069 --> 00:24:39,675
So, you tell him
you wanna march?

322
00:24:39,710 --> 00:24:41,512
I don't have to.

323
00:24:41,547 --> 00:24:43,976
It's my decision.
I'm a grown woman, remember?

324
00:24:44,011 --> 00:24:48,651
Oh, so, you ready
to orphan your kids now, hmm?

325
00:24:48,686 --> 00:24:50,851
-Are you?
-No.

326
00:24:50,886 --> 00:24:51,852
But you're doing it anyway.

327
00:24:51,887 --> 00:24:54,184
Because I have to.

328
00:24:54,219 --> 00:24:55,955
-And I don't?
-Ree...

329
00:24:55,990 --> 00:24:57,957
Singing for the movement

330
00:24:57,992 --> 00:25:00,663
and sending people
into battle with a song

331
00:25:00,698 --> 00:25:02,797
is not enough anymore.

332
00:25:02,832 --> 00:25:03,963
I need to be with them.

333
00:25:04,966 --> 00:25:06,031
You have a good talk?

334
00:25:07,298 --> 00:25:08,704
Yes.

335
00:25:14,305 --> 00:25:16,041
It was a good talk.

336
00:25:16,879 --> 00:25:18,879
Brother, come on.

337
00:25:18,914 --> 00:25:20,980
She's restless, I can tell.

338
00:25:21,015 --> 00:25:23,180
I... I... I don't know
if it's restless.

339
00:25:24,249 --> 00:25:26,821
She just wants to do more.

340
00:25:26,856 --> 00:25:28,086
What kind of more?

341
00:25:39,165 --> 00:25:40,098
I'll be there in a minute.

342
00:25:43,609 --> 00:25:44,839
Momma!

343
00:25:44,874 --> 00:25:47,710
Clarence! Eddie!

344
00:25:47,745 --> 00:25:50,680
-Momma! Momma! Momma!
-My babies! My babies!

345
00:25:53,014 --> 00:25:54,717
-Are you all right, baby?
-

346
00:25:54,752 --> 00:25:57,918
Clarence, you go in your room
and wait for me.

347
00:25:57,953 --> 00:25:59,755
Come here. It's all right,
baby, it's all right.

348
00:25:59,790 --> 00:26:01,020
Come on. Come on.

349
00:26:01,055 --> 00:26:03,187
It's all right.
It's all right.

350
00:26:03,222 --> 00:26:05,860
Every time I come
back, they want me less.

351
00:26:05,895 --> 00:26:07,158
That's not true.

352
00:26:07,193 --> 00:26:09,732
They talk about you
all the time.

353
00:26:09,767 --> 00:26:12,064
Every night, I show 'em
where you are on the map.

354
00:26:12,671 --> 00:26:14,132
One cookie.

355
00:26:18,941 --> 00:26:20,006
Fix your face now.

356
00:26:20,712 --> 00:26:22,206
This party is for y'all.

357
00:26:22,241 --> 00:26:23,944
-How are you, Mama?
-God is good.

358
00:26:23,979 --> 00:26:25,143
All the time.

359
00:26:26,652 --> 00:26:28,212
Let's eat. I'm starving.

360
00:26:29,347 --> 00:26:31,248
-

361
00:26:32,790 --> 00:26:34,086
So, where y'all headed?

362
00:26:34,121 --> 00:26:37,155
We go to Tennessee,
then to Georgia,

363
00:26:37,190 --> 00:26:40,290
then to North Carolina,
and then back to Alabama,
I think.

364
00:26:40,325 --> 00:26:42,831
Damn. Martin's tour's busier
than Daddy's.

365
00:26:42,866 --> 00:26:46,637
Erma, sometimes we hit
two states in one day.

366
00:26:46,672 --> 00:26:50,333
What was that story about
Aunt Mahalia not paying you?

367
00:26:50,368 --> 00:26:53,908
She said I would receive
my reward in Heaven.

368
00:26:58,211 --> 00:26:59,342
Oh.

369
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:03,148
No, Ree. Uh-uh.

370
00:27:13,831 --> 00:27:15,226
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh...

371
00:27:15,261 --> 00:27:16,865
-Smokey...
-Hey, hey, hey, hey.

372
00:27:16,900 --> 00:27:18,328
He's got some news, Ree.

373
00:27:18,363 --> 00:27:20,099
I heard
you're cuttin' a record.

374
00:27:20,134 --> 00:27:22,101
Yeah, with Berry
over at Motown.

375
00:27:22,136 --> 00:27:23,905
They got some
sweet sounds, Ree.

376
00:27:23,940 --> 00:27:25,434
They're signing a bunch of
folks in the neighborhood.

377
00:27:25,469 --> 00:27:27,942
Listen, we are trying
to put Detroit on the map.

378
00:27:27,977 --> 00:27:29,240
You gotta be a part of it.

379
00:27:29,275 --> 00:27:31,682
-I would love that.
-Yeah?

380
00:27:31,717 --> 00:27:33,145
Cecil, let me talk
to Daddy about it.

381
00:27:33,180 --> 00:27:34,817
Don't bring it up until I say.

382
00:27:34,852 --> 00:27:36,819
You know what?
Let's let Berry talk to him.

383
00:27:36,854 --> 00:27:38,249
Better yet, his sister.

384
00:27:38,284 --> 00:27:40,691
She can talk ice
out of the devil's mouth.

385
00:27:42,057 --> 00:27:43,320
What are you drinking?

386
00:27:44,125 --> 00:27:45,663
Iced tea.

387
00:27:47,128 --> 00:27:50,261
Just iced tea?

388
00:27:52,199 --> 00:27:55,200
-With a little bourbon.
-

389
00:27:56,742 --> 00:27:58,973
Yeah, you look
like a bourbon girl.

390
00:28:01,274 --> 00:28:02,845
How long are you in town for?

391
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:04,011
A week.

392
00:28:04,046 --> 00:28:05,749
Then I return to Tennessee.

393
00:28:05,784 --> 00:28:07,377
Well, then,
I won't waste any time.

394
00:28:07,412 --> 00:28:08,917
Mm.

395
00:28:08,952 --> 00:28:11,722
-I'd like to take you out.
-Hmm.

396
00:28:11,757 --> 00:28:13,350
I'd like you to take me out.

397
00:28:13,891 --> 00:28:15,220
How about tonight?

398
00:28:16,487 --> 00:28:18,157
Ree!

399
00:28:18,192 --> 00:28:19,895
Come and help me
set this table.

400
00:28:21,833 --> 00:28:24,867
Yes, to tonight.

401
00:28:24,902 --> 00:28:27,232
-Okay.
-Excuse me a moment.

402
00:28:37,046 --> 00:28:39,211
Reverend.

403
00:28:39,246 --> 00:28:42,016
I put up with you coming
to my house all these years

404
00:28:42,051 --> 00:28:44,414
'cause you were friends
with my friends.

405
00:28:44,449 --> 00:28:46,416
But I don't want you
around here anymore.

406
00:28:46,451 --> 00:28:48,385
May I give you some counsel,
Reverend?

407
00:28:49,828 --> 00:28:52,191
Ephesians 6:4 says, "Fathers,

408
00:28:52,226 --> 00:28:54,424
do not exasperate
your children.

409
00:28:54,459 --> 00:28:56,228
Instead, bring them up
in the training

410
00:28:56,263 --> 00:28:58,329
and the instruction
of the Lord."

411
00:28:58,364 --> 00:29:00,067
Lord, give me strength.

412
00:29:00,102 --> 00:29:01,464
Are you serious?

413
00:29:01,499 --> 00:29:04,434
You may wanna loosen
your grip on Aretha.

414
00:29:04,469 --> 00:29:06,007
You know, every minister's
daughter I've ever known...

415
00:29:06,042 --> 00:29:07,404
Nigga, you don't
wanna mess with me...

416
00:29:08,341 --> 00:29:09,406
or mine.

417
00:29:30,836 --> 00:29:32,297
I got this.

418
00:29:33,102 --> 00:29:34,431
I got it.

419
00:29:42,914 --> 00:29:44,342
-

420
00:29:44,377 --> 00:29:45,816
Whoo!
-

421
00:29:45,851 --> 00:29:47,114
Whoo!

422
00:29:48,854 --> 00:29:50,953
I love to party

423
00:29:52,253 --> 00:29:54,286
I want you by my side

424
00:29:54,321 --> 00:29:55,452
Take that off.

425
00:29:59,931 --> 00:30:02,558
-Everyone! everyone!
-

426
00:30:02,593 --> 00:30:05,462
Please, please, gather around.

427
00:30:07,906 --> 00:30:09,807
Aretha, will you join me,
please?

428
00:30:15,144 --> 00:30:17,848
This party is not just, uh,

429
00:30:17,883 --> 00:30:19,311
a homecoming.

430
00:30:19,346 --> 00:30:22,413
It's also an announcement.

431
00:30:22,448 --> 00:30:26,417
God is moving us
on to our next chapter.

432
00:30:29,290 --> 00:30:31,455
I've been talking to a number
of record producers

433
00:30:31,490 --> 00:30:32,995
about Aretha.

434
00:30:33,030 --> 00:30:34,898
There were many

435
00:30:34,933 --> 00:30:36,361
who were interested
in working with her.

436
00:30:39,432 --> 00:30:41,531
Tell them what it is, Ree.

437
00:30:41,566 --> 00:30:42,400
Ah...

438
00:30:44,910 --> 00:30:46,404
A plane ticket
to New York City.

439
00:30:52,082 --> 00:30:53,510
Congratulations, Ree.

440
00:30:55,580 --> 00:30:57,415
Thank you.

441
00:31:01,355 --> 00:31:02,860
This is it.

442
00:31:04,325 --> 00:31:05,863
Wow.

443
00:31:07,625 --> 00:31:09,559
Excuse me?

444
00:31:09,594 --> 00:31:11,561
I have a meeting
with a John Hammond

445
00:31:11,596 --> 00:31:12,936
of Columbia Records.

446
00:31:12,971 --> 00:31:14,498
Sign in, please.

447
00:31:22,343 --> 00:31:23,914
You ready?

448
00:31:25,346 --> 00:31:27,049
-I'm ready.

449
00:31:33,486 --> 00:31:38,192
I've always seen Aretha
as more than a gospel singer.

450
00:31:38,227 --> 00:31:41,261
Well, clearly from her demo,
she's so much more.

451
00:31:43,001 --> 00:31:44,429
Stand up, Ree.

452
00:31:45,630 --> 00:31:47,564
Turn around.

453
00:31:49,238 --> 00:31:52,074
There can sometimes be
a lack of effortlessness

454
00:31:52,109 --> 00:31:53,603
of the kind you find

455
00:31:53,638 --> 00:31:57,277
in a Lena Horne
or a Dorothy Dandridge.

456
00:31:57,312 --> 00:32:00,610
But what Aretha lacks
in formal education,

457
00:32:00,645 --> 00:32:03,547
she more than makes up for
in experience.

458
00:32:03,582 --> 00:32:07,958
She has performed before every
type of crowd imaginable,

459
00:32:07,993 --> 00:32:11,456
from small churches
to audiences of thousands.

460
00:32:12,492 --> 00:32:13,491
You can sit down now, Ree.

461
00:32:20,401 --> 00:32:24,139
I... I'm curious.

462
00:32:25,703 --> 00:32:28,506
Who are your favorite artists?

463
00:32:28,541 --> 00:32:30,145
Dinah Washington.

464
00:32:30,741 --> 00:32:32,312
Ella Fitzgerald.

465
00:32:32,347 --> 00:32:33,951
-Hmm.
- Sam Cooke.

466
00:32:34,415 --> 00:32:35,480
All family friends.

467
00:32:36,549 --> 00:32:38,714
Sam would very much
like Aretha

468
00:32:38,749 --> 00:32:40,617
to sign with RCA.

469
00:32:41,290 --> 00:32:43,488
Well, we can't have that.

470
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:47,525
Welcome

471
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:49,098
to Columbia Records.

472
00:32:57,768 --> 00:32:59,141
Prove yourself

473
00:33:00,639 --> 00:33:02,540
as a jazz artist, and
everything else will follow.

474
00:33:02,575 --> 00:33:04,047
I understand.

475
00:33:04,082 --> 00:33:05,378
Wonderful.

476
00:33:15,456 --> 00:33:17,423
Are you ready, Aretha?

477
00:33:17,458 --> 00:33:19,557
-Yes, Mr. Hammond.
-Wonderful.

478
00:33:19,592 --> 00:33:21,196
The conductor
will point at you

479
00:33:21,231 --> 00:33:22,593
when he's ready
for you to begin.

480
00:33:36,213 --> 00:33:40,578
accentuate the positive

481
00:33:44,551 --> 00:33:48,058
to the affirmative

482
00:33:48,093 --> 00:33:49,389
with mister in-between

483
00:33:49,424 --> 00:33:50,456
She sounds wonderful,
doesn't she?

484
00:33:50,491 --> 00:33:51,721
She does.

485
00:33:51,756 --> 00:33:53,789
Like a black Judy Garland.

486
00:33:53,824 --> 00:33:55,593
up to the maximum

487
00:33:55,628 --> 00:33:59,234
down to the minimum

488
00:33:59,269 --> 00:34:02,666
pandemonium

489
00:34:02,701 --> 00:34:06,505
upon the scene

490
00:34:06,540 --> 00:34:08,243
Ladies and gentlemen,

491
00:34:08,278 --> 00:34:10,080
the Village Vanguard
is proud to present

492
00:34:10,115 --> 00:34:11,576
Miss Aretha Franklin,

493
00:34:11,611 --> 00:34:14,084
debuting her latest record,
Unforgettable.

494
00:34:21,555 --> 00:34:24,127
Good evening,
ladies and gentlemen.

495
00:34:24,162 --> 00:34:26,591
We hope you enjoy
the show tonight.

496
00:34:27,396 --> 00:34:29,561
I see an old family friend.

497
00:34:29,596 --> 00:34:32,102
Dinah Washington
is in the audience.

498
00:34:39,441 --> 00:34:40,836
I'd like to sing a song

499
00:34:40,871 --> 00:34:44,642
in honor of her great artistry
and talent.

500
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:09,799
Bitch!

501
00:35:09,834 --> 00:35:11,636
Don't you ever sing
the Queen's songs

502
00:35:11,671 --> 00:35:12,769
when the Queen
is in front of you!

503
00:35:22,352 --> 00:35:24,484
What the hell
were you thinking?

504
00:35:24,849 --> 00:35:26,288
I'm sorry.

505
00:35:26,323 --> 00:35:27,487
You wanna take me on?

506
00:35:27,522 --> 00:35:29,357
-No.
- Liar.

507
00:35:29,392 --> 00:35:30,886
You wouldn't be here if you
wasn't trying to replace me

508
00:35:30,921 --> 00:35:32,789
and every other bitch
out here singin'.

509
00:35:34,529 --> 00:35:35,891
How many albums have you had?

510
00:35:35,926 --> 00:35:36,859
Four.

511
00:35:38,335 --> 00:35:39,796
And no hits.

512
00:35:48,477 --> 00:35:50,510
You out here,
but I can see you

513
00:35:50,545 --> 00:35:52,512
still that little girl
in your daddy's living room.

514
00:35:52,547 --> 00:35:54,778
You're singin' everything
and anything.

515
00:35:54,813 --> 00:35:57,385
Shoop Shoop one day,
Skylark the next,

516
00:35:57,420 --> 00:35:59,717
and then some
Billie Holiday blues.

517
00:35:59,752 --> 00:36:01,290
Girl, you're all
over the place.

518
00:36:01,886 --> 00:36:02,819
What do you wanna sing?

519
00:36:03,954 --> 00:36:05,294
I don't know.

520
00:36:08,365 --> 00:36:09,727
You don't know?

521
00:36:09,762 --> 00:36:12,796
I want hits. I just want hits.

522
00:36:12,831 --> 00:36:14,732
Girl, you need to let go
of that "up with the race"

523
00:36:14,767 --> 00:36:17,405
Booker T. Washington
proper Negro shit.

524
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:18,901
That's not you.

525
00:36:18,936 --> 00:36:20,606
Your daddy likes to pretend
that's who he is,

526
00:36:20,641 --> 00:36:22,608
but that's not
who he is either.

527
00:36:22,643 --> 00:36:25,215
Child, y'all church folks

528
00:36:25,250 --> 00:36:27,943
are some of the nastiest
people out here.

529
00:36:27,978 --> 00:36:30,517
Ray Charles told me
that the best sex he ever had

530
00:36:30,552 --> 00:36:32,222
was when he was singin'
on the gospel circuit.

531
00:36:33,819 --> 00:36:37,755
Honey, find the songs
that suit you. That move you.

532
00:36:37,790 --> 00:36:41,198
Until you do that,
you ain't goin' nowhere.

533
00:36:44,929 --> 00:36:46,533
Put some teabags on that.

534
00:36:47,668 --> 00:36:48,865
Take the puffiness down.

535
00:36:54,312 --> 00:36:55,542
How's Big Mama?

536
00:36:57,348 --> 00:36:58,611
She's all right.

537
00:36:58,976 --> 00:36:59,876
The kids?

538
00:37:01,550 --> 00:37:03,385
They're good.

539
00:37:03,420 --> 00:37:05,486
Child, you ever gonna tell us
who their daddy is?

540
00:37:36,849 --> 00:37:38,684
Ree-Ree?

541
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:39,883
You wanna tell me
what's wrong?

542
00:37:39,918 --> 00:37:40,917
I can't.

543
00:38:12,489 --> 00:38:13,752
No answer.

544
00:38:14,524 --> 00:38:15,622
Call her again.

545
00:38:20,761 --> 00:38:21,660
Hmm.

546
00:38:23,093 --> 00:38:25,335
I didn't know you were
comin' in today, Daddy.

547
00:38:25,370 --> 00:38:26,798
You are 68 minutes late.

548
00:38:26,833 --> 00:38:29,999
Mr. Hammond
asked me to come in.

549
00:38:30,034 --> 00:38:33,904
You've been skipping
interviews and gigs.

550
00:38:34,940 --> 00:38:37,611
The demon is back.

551
00:38:37,646 --> 00:38:40,878
Ree has a tendency
to indulge her pain.

552
00:38:40,913 --> 00:38:43,078
Can we talk about this
somewhere else?

553
00:38:43,113 --> 00:38:45,047
John. John.

554
00:38:45,082 --> 00:38:48,556
It's important that you
understand that this behavior

555
00:38:48,591 --> 00:38:53,055
is not a reflection
of her upbringing or her race.

556
00:38:53,090 --> 00:38:54,760
Well, I've worked
with Bessie Smith

557
00:38:54,795 --> 00:38:55,959
and Billie Holiday.

558
00:38:55,994 --> 00:38:58,368
Aretha is a saint
in comparison.

559
00:38:58,403 --> 00:39:00,502
She wasn't raised in
a whorehouse like them.

560
00:39:00,537 --> 00:39:02,801
She was raised
in a proper home

561
00:39:02,836 --> 00:39:04,935
with every convenience
and luxury.

562
00:39:06,939 --> 00:39:10,776
But still, a darkness
would descend on her.

563
00:39:10,811 --> 00:39:12,415
I called it the demon.

564
00:39:12,450 --> 00:39:15,847
She'd lock herself away,
wouldn't speak, move,

565
00:39:15,882 --> 00:39:17,816
just wallow
in whatever imaginary...

566
00:39:18,489 --> 00:39:19,554
I...

567
00:39:22,119 --> 00:39:24,724
You told me before
we came out here

568
00:39:24,759 --> 00:39:25,659
that you had it under control.

569
00:39:25,694 --> 00:39:27,023
I have control.

570
00:39:29,159 --> 00:39:32,402
You keep complaining
that you don't have any hits.

571
00:39:32,437 --> 00:39:34,932
This is why
you don't have any hits.

572
00:39:34,967 --> 00:39:36,032
Acting like a trifling...

573
00:39:39,708 --> 00:39:40,971
Apologize to Mr. Hammond.

574
00:39:41,006 --> 00:39:43,072
No, there's no need
to apologize.

575
00:39:43,107 --> 00:39:45,844
That is not why
I don't have hits.

576
00:39:45,879 --> 00:39:47,043
You don't pick
good songs for me.

577
00:39:55,152 --> 00:39:57,592
Sorry for being late,
Mr. Hammond.

578
00:39:59,992 --> 00:40:01,596
It won't happen again.

579
00:40:03,193 --> 00:40:05,061
I'm ready to record
when you are.

580
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:06,997
Hmm.

581
00:40:10,739 --> 00:40:13,443
Please excuse me while
I go to the ladies' room.

582
00:40:29,021 --> 00:40:31,593
So, you gonna come
with us this weekend?

583
00:40:31,628 --> 00:40:32,759
I have a gig.

584
00:40:32,794 --> 00:40:34,464
We can go after your gig.

585
00:40:35,192 --> 00:40:37,060
You work too hard.

586
00:40:37,095 --> 00:40:39,436
-Not according to my daddy.
-

587
00:40:40,670 --> 00:40:42,736
Well, you need some fun.

588
00:40:42,771 --> 00:40:43,968
Come with us.

589
00:40:52,044 --> 00:40:54,077
Can you introduce me
to his friend?

590
00:40:54,783 --> 00:40:56,046
I don't know him.

591
00:41:09,534 --> 00:41:11,193
-

592
00:41:21,810 --> 00:41:24,008
-

593
00:41:36,088 --> 00:41:38,726
You were supposed
to take me out in Detroit.

594
00:41:38,761 --> 00:41:40,090
Yes, one of my singers

595
00:41:40,125 --> 00:41:41,795
ran into a little trouble
out of town,

596
00:41:41,830 --> 00:41:44,193
so I had to take care of it.

597
00:41:44,228 --> 00:41:46,195
I think my father
said something to you

598
00:41:46,230 --> 00:41:48,835
-to make you reconsider.
-Oh.

599
00:41:48,870 --> 00:41:52,267
That's a nice little fable
you got goin' on in your head.

600
00:41:53,974 --> 00:41:55,105
I know what you do.

601
00:41:57,747 --> 00:41:59,241
It doesn't bother me.

602
00:42:00,783 --> 00:42:04,147
I know it doesn't bother you.

603
00:42:04,182 --> 00:42:07,084
You're rebelling against
your daddy.

604
00:42:07,119 --> 00:42:08,250
I don't mind.

605
00:42:09,253 --> 00:42:12,188
Listen, you wanna
use me for my body,

606
00:42:12,861 --> 00:42:14,861
you can use me, baby.

607
00:42:14,896 --> 00:42:17,226
You can wring me dry.

608
00:42:17,261 --> 00:42:20,031
You and me,
we've been through it.

609
00:42:21,001 --> 00:42:23,298
So we can skip all the flowers

610
00:42:23,333 --> 00:42:25,168
and the promises,
and the love bullshit,

611
00:42:25,203 --> 00:42:27,005
and just have some fun.

612
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:28,842
I like fun.

613
00:42:28,877 --> 00:42:30,206
And we'll have plenty of it.

614
00:42:34,311 --> 00:42:36,014
I want one thing from you.

615
00:42:37,281 --> 00:42:38,115
What?

616
00:42:39,349 --> 00:42:41,019
To hear you sing.

617
00:42:41,054 --> 00:42:42,856
Just for me.

618
00:42:42,891 --> 00:42:45,023
What will I get in return?

619
00:42:45,828 --> 00:42:48,224
The best night of your life.

620
00:43:17,794 --> 00:43:18,925
Taxi!

621
00:43:36,010 --> 00:43:38,978
I want you to think about me
when you sing tomorrow.

622
00:43:39,013 --> 00:43:40,914
You're not coming home
with me?

623
00:43:41,411 --> 00:43:43,246
No.

624
00:43:43,281 --> 00:43:45,248
What about the best night
of my life?

625
00:43:45,283 --> 00:43:47,151
I didn't say
it would be tonight.

626
00:43:57,966 --> 00:44:02,001
enchanted boy

627
00:44:02,036 --> 00:44:08,073
Very far

628
00:44:30,999 --> 00:44:35,331
He passed my way

629
00:44:37,434 --> 00:44:38,939
I'm sorry.

630
00:44:40,008 --> 00:44:41,337
I'm sorry.

631
00:44:44,947 --> 00:44:46,848
Would you like
to take a break, Aretha?

632
00:44:47,345 --> 00:44:48,982
No.

633
00:44:49,017 --> 00:44:50,247
I'll get it right this time.

634
00:44:51,217 --> 00:44:52,414
Take 12.

635
00:45:11,237 --> 00:45:15,404
enchanted boy

636
00:45:15,439 --> 00:45:21,212
Very far

637
00:45:44,468 --> 00:45:48,470
he passed my way

638
00:45:48,505 --> 00:45:51,913
of many things

639
00:46:20,537 --> 00:46:22,438
You have all my records.

640
00:46:25,047 --> 00:46:26,409
You like them?

641
00:46:26,444 --> 00:46:27,443
I bought them.

642
00:46:29,986 --> 00:46:31,381
Which one you like best?

643
00:46:33,253 --> 00:46:34,384
They've all got something.

644
00:46:36,124 --> 00:46:37,827
Is this one your favorite?

645
00:46:40,128 --> 00:46:41,193
Hmm?

646
00:46:44,528 --> 00:46:45,934
Or this?

647
00:46:48,906 --> 00:46:50,268
What are you doing?

648
00:46:50,303 --> 00:46:51,874
Or this one?

649
00:46:51,909 --> 00:46:54,107
Went to 64 on the charts.

650
00:46:56,144 --> 00:46:58,012
You didn't even open this one.

651
00:47:00,445 --> 00:47:01,378
You don't like them?

652
00:47:02,282 --> 00:47:03,446
I didn't say that.

653
00:47:03,481 --> 00:47:04,986
Then say it.

654
00:47:05,021 --> 00:47:06,416
I won't be upset.

655
00:47:06,957 --> 00:47:08,990
No one does.

656
00:47:09,025 --> 00:47:11,861
First, I've listened
to all your albums.

657
00:47:12,589 --> 00:47:15,161
Including this one.

658
00:47:15,966 --> 00:47:17,427
More than once.

659
00:47:19,068 --> 00:47:22,135
Secondly, I love music.

660
00:47:22,170 --> 00:47:24,467
I take it seriously.

661
00:47:24,502 --> 00:47:27,305
I managed my first artist
when I was 15.

662
00:47:27,340 --> 00:47:31,045
Thirdly, what you
experienced yesterday,

663
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:33,575
17 takes on one song?

664
00:47:33,610 --> 00:47:36,314
That happens to me
every time I hear you sing.

665
00:47:37,251 --> 00:47:39,416
My brain gets all...

666
00:47:40,584 --> 00:47:42,419
muddled.

667
00:47:42,454 --> 00:47:46,896
Well, first,

668
00:47:46,931 --> 00:47:50,526
my apologies for putting
you through so much pain.

669
00:47:53,102 --> 00:47:56,169
-And secondly...
-Mm-hmm.

670
00:47:56,204 --> 00:47:59,172
...you should have never told
me about your Achilles' heel.

671
00:48:00,340 --> 00:48:02,175
On our first date.

672
00:48:11,384 --> 00:48:13,318
Oh, damn it.

673
00:48:13,353 --> 00:48:16,288
-

674
00:48:20,624 --> 00:48:24,230
-Keep singing.
-

675
00:48:24,265 --> 00:48:25,968
I didn't think you were
comin' home for two weeks.

676
00:48:26,003 --> 00:48:27,464
-I miss my babies.
-

677
00:48:27,499 --> 00:48:28,971
And y'all.

678
00:48:31,041 --> 00:48:32,205
Who's that plate for?

679
00:48:33,274 --> 00:48:34,471
Ted.

680
00:48:34,506 --> 00:48:37,980
Oh, sweet Jesus,
are you serious?

681
00:48:38,015 --> 00:48:39,278
-What are you thinking?
-Please help me with Daddy.

682
00:48:39,313 --> 00:48:40,312
-No...
-Help me.

683
00:48:41,018 --> 00:48:42,182
Good Sunday, everybody.

684
00:48:48,322 --> 00:48:50,960
What the hell is this?

685
00:48:50,995 --> 00:48:52,522
You didn't tell them
I was coming?

686
00:48:52,557 --> 00:48:53,996
I don't know what you think
you're doing here

687
00:48:54,031 --> 00:48:55,096
and I don't care.

688
00:48:55,131 --> 00:48:57,263
Just leave. Now.

689
00:48:57,298 --> 00:48:58,627
Aretha asked me to come

690
00:48:58,662 --> 00:49:00,431
and Aretha
can ask me to leave.

691
00:49:01,731 --> 00:49:04,270
-I want him to stay.
-This is my house.

692
00:49:04,305 --> 00:49:05,634
Since when do
you get to tell me

693
00:49:05,669 --> 00:49:07,504
who gets to be in my house,
Ree, huh?

694
00:49:07,539 --> 00:49:09,506
I want you to get to know him.

695
00:49:09,541 --> 00:49:10,672
He's not what you think.

696
00:49:10,707 --> 00:49:11,706
Are you pregnant again?

697
00:49:11,741 --> 00:49:13,213
No!

698
00:49:14,348 --> 00:49:16,381
We just wanna be together.

699
00:49:18,055 --> 00:49:19,549
I love your daughter,
Reverend.

700
00:49:21,685 --> 00:49:24,026
And I think she loves me.

701
00:49:24,061 --> 00:49:25,390
I do.

702
00:49:25,425 --> 00:49:27,062
-No! No!
- Oh, my Lord!

703
00:49:27,097 --> 00:49:28,163
Ree...
- Clarence! No!

704
00:49:28,198 --> 00:49:30,197
Didn't I tell you
not to mess with me or mine?

705
00:49:30,232 --> 00:49:31,099
-Didn't I tell you?
-Clarence!

706
00:49:31,134 --> 00:49:32,463
Son, don't you let this man

707
00:49:32,498 --> 00:49:34,366
put your church
and your soul in jeopardy.

708
00:49:45,709 --> 00:49:46,983
Reverend,

709
00:49:48,316 --> 00:49:49,546
we have to figure this out.

710
00:49:49,581 --> 00:49:51,614
I'm not going anywhere.

711
00:49:51,649 --> 00:49:53,715
You can't see
through this hustler?

712
00:49:53,750 --> 00:49:56,751
-You're the greatest hustler
I ever seen.
-

713
00:49:56,786 --> 00:49:59,688
Every night, she picks herself
apart because of you.

714
00:49:59,723 --> 00:50:03,065
She thinks it's her hair,
her body, her voice.

715
00:50:03,100 --> 00:50:05,166
She worries about failing you,
but it's your failure.

716
00:50:05,201 --> 00:50:07,069
Get out! Just...

717
00:50:07,104 --> 00:50:09,434
Daddy, I know
how busy you are.

718
00:50:09,469 --> 00:50:11,634
You have so much
going on all the time.

719
00:50:11,669 --> 00:50:13,570
Running a church,
the speakin' engagements,

720
00:50:13,605 --> 00:50:16,441
managing Carolyn.

721
00:50:16,476 --> 00:50:18,641
I know about your contract
at Horizon Records.

722
00:50:18,676 --> 00:50:20,478
I was gonna tell you.

723
00:50:20,513 --> 00:50:22,249
When?
When the damn album came out?

724
00:50:22,284 --> 00:50:24,218
Nobody can tell you anything,
Ree. You're so jealous.

725
00:50:24,253 --> 00:50:25,714
Jealous? Of you two?

726
00:50:25,749 --> 00:50:27,188
You think you better than us?

727
00:50:27,223 --> 00:50:28,486
That's exactly

728
00:50:28,521 --> 00:50:29,454
-what she's saying.
- No!

729
00:50:29,489 --> 00:50:31,555
Quiet! Quiet! Quiet!

730
00:50:32,756 --> 00:50:35,361
You are not
leaving this family

731
00:50:35,396 --> 00:50:37,297
for that piece of trash.

732
00:50:39,103 --> 00:50:41,301
I need a change.

733
00:50:42,403 --> 00:50:44,601
I wanna sing what I wanna sing

734
00:50:44,636 --> 00:50:47,505
and I wanna dress
like I want to dress.

735
00:50:48,277 --> 00:50:49,606
And I want Ted to manage me.

736
00:50:51,313 --> 00:50:54,149
He's not worth the shit
at the bottom of my shoe.

737
00:50:54,184 --> 00:50:56,349
So that means that you think
I'm worth less than that.

738
00:50:56,384 --> 00:50:57,680
After all we've been through.

739
00:50:57,715 --> 00:50:59,187
After all that
I've done for you.

740
00:51:04,392 --> 00:51:06,656
I have to do this, Daddy.

741
00:51:12,136 --> 00:51:15,599
You are going to beg me
to take you back.

742
00:51:18,835 --> 00:51:20,637
But I won't.

743
00:51:21,310 --> 00:51:22,639
I won't.

744
00:51:42,826 --> 00:51:45,662
I'm gonna say goodbye
to my children.

745
00:51:45,697 --> 00:51:47,829
-Okay.
-And then we'll go.

746
00:51:47,864 --> 00:51:48,830
Okay.

747
00:52:03,583 --> 00:52:04,846
Y'all not gonna fix me a plate?

748
00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:32,577
with that gun in your hand?

749
00:52:36,220 --> 00:52:37,912
You keep beating up
these club owners,

750
00:52:37,947 --> 00:52:40,288
there won't be any clubs
left for me to sing at.

751
00:52:41,357 --> 00:52:43,621
No one disrespects us.

752
00:52:43,656 --> 00:52:45,524
I just don't know
what else to do...

753
00:52:46,362 --> 00:52:48,560
after nine albums.

754
00:52:51,367 --> 00:52:52,729
Yes, this is Ted White.

755
00:52:52,764 --> 00:52:55,402
I'm calling to speak
to Mr. Whitfield.

756
00:52:55,437 --> 00:52:57,734
Well, I'd like to speak to him
about Aretha Franklin.

757
00:53:01,245 --> 00:53:04,246
-Mommy can't cook either.
-It's sticky!

758
00:53:06,910 --> 00:53:08,811
I'm gonna be honest with ya.

759
00:53:08,846 --> 00:53:11,847
Your version of Skylark
is one of my favorite songs.

760
00:53:12,553 --> 00:53:13,882
Thank you, Mr. Wexler.

761
00:53:13,917 --> 00:53:15,620
Oh, please, call me Jerry.

762
00:53:15,655 --> 00:53:17,391
You know what Etta James said
when she heard it?

763
00:53:17,426 --> 00:53:19,426
She said you pissed
all over that song,

764
00:53:19,461 --> 00:53:22,495
and she would never sing it
again in her entire life.

765
00:53:22,530 --> 00:53:24,497
You ruined that song
for Etta James.

766
00:53:24,532 --> 00:53:25,894
That is how good it was.

767
00:53:25,929 --> 00:53:27,632
And I'm not
bullshittin' ya, okay?

768
00:53:27,667 --> 00:53:28,566
A lot of these guys out here

769
00:53:28,602 --> 00:53:29,898
will say anything
to get in your drawers,

770
00:53:29,933 --> 00:53:31,537
but that's not me.

771
00:53:31,572 --> 00:53:33,671
I'm sorry.
All right, I'm crude.

772
00:53:33,706 --> 00:53:36,377
And you're a church girl,
and I should watch my mouth.

773
00:53:36,412 --> 00:53:37,642
I'm sorry.

774
00:53:38,612 --> 00:53:40,777
You do talk, don't ya?
Not just sing?

775
00:53:43,683 --> 00:53:45,320
You are
the sweetest thing, Aretha.

776
00:53:46,488 --> 00:53:48,554
I'd like you to call me
Miss Franklin.

777
00:53:48,589 --> 00:53:51,656
Okay, Miss Franklin.

778
00:53:51,691 --> 00:53:53,427
What songs would
you like to sing?

779
00:53:53,462 --> 00:53:55,264
I want hits.

780
00:53:55,299 --> 00:53:56,727
We're done
with standards.

781
00:53:56,762 --> 00:53:58,795
We want original songs
made for Aretha only.

782
00:53:58,830 --> 00:54:01,666
Great! We are speaking
the same language, my man.

783
00:54:01,701 --> 00:54:02,832
One of the songwriters
I represent

784
00:54:02,867 --> 00:54:04,537
wrote a good song for Aretha,

785
00:54:04,572 --> 00:54:06,407
I Never Loved A Man.

786
00:54:06,442 --> 00:54:08,475
Terrific. I've got the perfect
place to record it.

787
00:54:08,510 --> 00:54:09,839
I'm working with
this little studio

788
00:54:09,874 --> 00:54:11,544
down in Alabama and...

789
00:54:11,579 --> 00:54:13,447
Aretha's only recorded
in New York.

790
00:54:13,482 --> 00:54:15,548
Yeah, I know that, but I think
that's part of the problem.

791
00:54:15,583 --> 00:54:17,385
It's overproduced,
it's a little too polished.

792
00:54:17,420 --> 00:54:18,386
I mean, these boys
down there...

793
00:54:18,421 --> 00:54:20,014
"Boys"?

794
00:54:20,049 --> 00:54:21,686
Don't be offended, all right?

795
00:54:21,721 --> 00:54:23,985
I say boys because
they're young like Aretha,

796
00:54:24,020 --> 00:54:26,625
like Miss Franklin,
not because they're Negroes.

797
00:54:26,660 --> 00:54:28,022
These guys are
the best musicians

798
00:54:28,057 --> 00:54:29,727
I have ever
worked with in my life,

799
00:54:29,762 --> 00:54:31,564
and that's saying something.

800
00:54:31,599 --> 00:54:32,862
I've been doing this
a long time.

801
00:54:32,897 --> 00:54:34,567
They don't need
to read charts.

802
00:54:34,602 --> 00:54:36,899
They just feel their way
through the music.

803
00:54:36,934 --> 00:54:38,967
It's really something.
How does that sound to you?

804
00:54:40,410 --> 00:54:41,772
Sounds good.

805
00:54:41,807 --> 00:54:44,874
And I'm not controlling
like Hammond, okay?

806
00:54:44,909 --> 00:54:46,480
I'm gonna give you
plenty of space

807
00:54:46,515 --> 00:54:47,877
to do your thing, all right?

808
00:54:47,912 --> 00:54:50,319
This is your show,
Miss Franklin.

809
00:54:50,354 --> 00:54:51,518
Your record.

810
00:54:51,553 --> 00:54:52,717
Okay?

811
00:55:36,862 --> 00:55:38,499
This is it?

812
00:55:38,534 --> 00:55:41,403
What did all the glamor
at Columbia get me?

813
00:55:41,438 --> 00:55:42,932
Do you know who
you're messing with?

814
00:55:42,967 --> 00:55:44,604
"Do I know who I'm..."
Do you know who you're messing

815
00:55:44,639 --> 00:55:45,770
-with, buddy?
-You tryin' to screw me over,

816
00:55:45,805 --> 00:55:46,969
-Rick?
-You in my town now, buddy!

817
00:55:47,004 --> 00:55:47,640
This is my place!

818
00:55:47,675 --> 00:55:48,839
It's my record!

819
00:55:48,874 --> 00:55:50,676
Everything you see here
is mine!

820
00:55:50,711 --> 00:55:52,007
This is my record!

821
00:55:56,849 --> 00:55:58,849
Miss Franklin, Ted,

822
00:55:58,884 --> 00:56:00,917
-welcome.
-Jerry.

823
00:56:00,952 --> 00:56:02,424
Nice to see you. Hello.

824
00:56:03,559 --> 00:56:04,789
I'm Rick Hall.

825
00:56:08,894 --> 00:56:10,960
You don't have any Negro
musicians in this town?

826
00:56:11,468 --> 00:56:12,863
Uh...

827
00:56:12,898 --> 00:56:14,403
-We were just discussing that.
-Not today.

828
00:56:14,438 --> 00:56:15,932
Not today?

829
00:56:15,967 --> 00:56:19,672
There was
a miscommunication, Ted.

830
00:56:19,707 --> 00:56:21,971
Negroes only allowed to pick
cotton in these parts, huh?

831
00:56:28,111 --> 00:56:30,980
Percy Sledge had
that same look on his face

832
00:56:31,015 --> 00:56:32,146
when he first come in here.

833
00:56:32,984 --> 00:56:34,720
And then he heard 'em play

834
00:56:34,755 --> 00:56:38,020
and he was very satisfied
with his record.

835
00:56:38,055 --> 00:56:39,857
I think you will be, too.

836
00:56:39,892 --> 00:56:41,430
-Drink?
-We don't have time

837
00:56:41,465 --> 00:56:42,794
for this right now.

838
00:56:46,998 --> 00:56:48,404
Where can I get
a jacket like that?

839
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:50,571
You'd have to come to Harlem.

840
00:56:51,871 --> 00:56:53,134
Always wanted to go to Harlem.

841
00:56:53,169 --> 00:56:54,641
Yeah.

842
00:57:03,014 --> 00:57:06,851
You're a no good
heartbreaker

843
00:57:06,886 --> 00:57:08,457
Who's this singin'?

844
00:57:08,492 --> 00:57:09,557
The songwriter.

845
00:57:12,628 --> 00:57:13,693
Sings like a writer.

846
00:57:15,224 --> 00:57:17,026
Rick,
you want drums on this?

847
00:57:17,061 --> 00:57:18,962
Or you just wanna
keep it boring?

848
00:57:18,997 --> 00:57:20,634
I don't know, Roger. You know
any good drummers around here?

849
00:57:20,669 --> 00:57:22,603
Don't, actually.

850
00:57:22,638 --> 00:57:24,231
It's just slow.

851
00:57:24,266 --> 00:57:25,870
-It's just a little slow.
- Little slow, yeah.

852
00:57:25,905 --> 00:57:27,641
All right! Come on, guys!

853
00:57:27,676 --> 00:57:29,643
Hang with me on this.
This is a good song!

854
00:57:29,678 --> 00:57:31,007
It's a great song.

855
00:57:31,042 --> 00:57:32,811
It is what it is.

856
00:57:41,921 --> 00:57:43,921
All right. Let's see
what we can make of it.

857
00:57:43,956 --> 00:57:45,155
Hey, Spooner.

858
00:57:45,191 --> 00:57:47,056
You wanna keep that shuffle
on there or straighten it out?

859
00:57:47,696 --> 00:57:49,091
Let's straighten it out.

860
00:57:49,929 --> 00:57:50,994
Straighten it out.

861
00:57:51,667 --> 00:57:52,534
Straightening out.

862
00:57:57,805 --> 00:57:59,068
Put some fatback on it.

863
00:57:59,103 --> 00:58:01,037
Yeah, like a King Curtis deal?

864
00:58:01,072 --> 00:58:03,644
Yeah...
-

865
00:58:09,685 --> 00:58:11,080
Hey, man, that's groovy.

866
00:58:12,985 --> 00:58:15,249
All right, let's go with that.

867
00:58:15,284 --> 00:58:17,185
-Yeah.
-

868
00:58:21,092 --> 00:58:25,160
heartbreaker

869
00:58:26,163 --> 00:58:30,099
and you're a cheat

870
00:58:37,581 --> 00:58:39,240
do these things...

871
00:58:39,275 --> 00:58:40,978
Okay, let's hold up.

872
00:58:41,013 --> 00:58:42,980
Hold up. It sounds like,

873
00:58:43,015 --> 00:58:45,015
uh, Sunday morning
service in there.

874
00:58:45,050 --> 00:58:46,555
Yeah, I was just about to say,

875
00:58:46,590 --> 00:58:47,853
it's a little
too churchy, guys.

876
00:58:47,888 --> 00:58:49,316
I liked it.

877
00:58:49,351 --> 00:58:51,791
Let's find a different pocket,
all right?

878
00:58:52,893 --> 00:58:54,222
Something with more swing.

879
00:58:54,895 --> 00:58:56,125
Speed it up.

880
00:58:56,160 --> 00:58:57,632
Yeah.

881
00:58:57,667 --> 00:58:59,931
No, don't speed it up.
Follow me.

882
00:59:25,354 --> 00:59:28,124
if I could

883
00:59:29,633 --> 00:59:31,226
Stop. Stop.

884
00:59:33,098 --> 00:59:35,197
It's too busy.

885
00:59:35,232 --> 00:59:36,770
Let the song do the work.

886
00:59:36,805 --> 00:59:37,936
Yeah, stop showing off, guys.

887
00:59:37,971 --> 00:59:39,135
Yeah, boys, if you're trying

888
00:59:39,170 --> 00:59:41,038
to impress me,
it's not working.

889
00:59:41,073 --> 00:59:42,875
Yeah, and more importantly,
it's startin' to piss me off.

890
00:59:42,910 --> 00:59:43,942
Maybe we should do
something closer

891
00:59:43,977 --> 00:59:45,075
to the original arrangement.

892
00:59:45,110 --> 00:59:46,879
Nah.
-No, it's done.

893
00:59:49,114 --> 00:59:50,311
You kept
steppin' on me.

894
00:59:50,346 --> 00:59:51,785
You were
all over the neck.

895
00:59:51,820 --> 00:59:52,753
I couldn't tell
what you were doing.

896
00:59:52,788 --> 00:59:53,886
I'm all over the neck?

897
00:59:53,921 --> 00:59:54,953
Find your lane, Jimmy.

898
00:59:54,988 --> 00:59:56,218
Look who's talkin'.

899
00:59:56,253 --> 00:59:57,857
They could hear
your crash in Texas.

900
00:59:57,892 --> 00:59:59,386
Well, my horn
arrangement's killer.

901
00:59:59,421 --> 01:00:00,959
Y'all let me know
when you're ready to hear it.

902
01:00:00,994 --> 01:00:01,793
You gonna
save the song, Jack?

903
01:00:01,828 --> 01:00:03,126
As I have on many
an occasion, okay.

904
01:00:03,161 --> 01:00:03,797
Okay.

905
01:00:04,900 --> 01:00:06,294
Good job, Jack.
- How about that.

906
01:00:20,244 --> 01:00:22,651
Spooner's got it!
Spooner's got it!

907
01:00:22,686 --> 01:00:23,784
Yeah, he does.

908
01:00:31,255 --> 01:00:34,157
good heartbreaker

909
01:00:35,699 --> 01:00:38,326
you're a cheat

910
01:00:43,432 --> 01:00:46,774
these things to me

911
01:00:58,183 --> 01:00:59,985
-Go on, baby.

912
01:01:10,734 --> 01:01:14,329
I ain't

913
01:01:20,271 --> 01:01:24,680
I love you, yeah

914
01:01:31,315 --> 01:01:33,821
run out of fools

915
01:01:38,927 --> 01:01:41,026
that you'll never lose

916
01:01:41,061 --> 01:01:42,291
That is rocking.

917
01:01:42,326 --> 01:01:44,326
Yeah, it sounds pretty good.

918
01:01:44,361 --> 01:01:46,262
-I can do better.
-

919
01:01:46,297 --> 01:01:49,034
It's like the perfect mixture
of gospel, blues...

920
01:01:49,069 --> 01:01:50,233
And sex.

921
01:01:51,336 --> 01:01:53,874
Baby, that's some of the best
singin' and playin'

922
01:01:53,909 --> 01:01:54,776
I've ever heard.

923
01:01:56,307 --> 01:01:58,340
I want to overdub some
backgrounds on the chorus.

924
01:01:58,375 --> 01:02:00,276
You know, I was
just thinkin' about that.

925
01:02:00,311 --> 01:02:01,882
We can bring in
some local talent...

926
01:02:01,917 --> 01:02:03,312
No, I want to do it.

927
01:02:03,347 --> 01:02:04,819
Okay, even better.
Save me some money.

928
01:02:05,184 --> 01:02:06,249
Jerry.

929
01:02:07,450 --> 01:02:08,757
Let me talk to you
for a moment.

930
01:02:08,792 --> 01:02:09,384
Okay, okay.

931
01:02:11,388 --> 01:02:13,157
Had a rocking thing on it.

932
01:02:13,192 --> 01:02:15,797
Yeah, it did.
-It was rocking.

933
01:02:15,832 --> 01:02:18,932
The way that I,
I love you

934
01:02:18,967 --> 01:02:20,967
I wasn't lookin' at nobody.
I was trying to do my work.

935
01:02:21,002 --> 01:02:23,332
He was looking at you.

936
01:02:23,367 --> 01:02:25,301
Thought he was gonna get him
some nigga tail.

937
01:02:25,336 --> 01:02:26,841
Pack the bags.

938
01:02:26,876 --> 01:02:28,172
It sounded good.

939
01:02:28,207 --> 01:02:29,371
Real good.

940
01:02:29,406 --> 01:02:30,944
It was really comin' together,

941
01:02:30,979 --> 01:02:33,045
and you had to show
your ignorant ass.

942
01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:34,849
I oughta leave you here

943
01:02:34,884 --> 01:02:36,818
and let those crackers
have a go at you.

944
01:02:38,888 --> 01:02:41,119
This was the best
I ever sounded.

945
01:02:41,154 --> 01:02:42,351
Couldn't you hear that?

946
01:02:44,421 --> 01:02:46,520
We'll finish this in New York.

947
01:02:46,555 --> 01:02:48,060
With my musicians.

948
01:02:48,095 --> 01:02:50,458
Your musicians ain't shit.

949
01:02:50,493 --> 01:02:52,460
You're not about
to mess this up for me.

950
01:02:52,495 --> 01:02:53,868
Where the hell
do you think you're going?

951
01:02:53,903 --> 01:02:54,869
I've waited
too long for this.

952
01:02:54,904 --> 01:02:56,068
Where the...

953
01:02:56,103 --> 01:02:57,201
Like hell you are.

954
01:02:58,304 --> 01:02:59,533
You don't know who you're
fucking with! Come here!

955
01:03:01,339 --> 01:03:03,240
-Ted, it's Rick Hall. Open up.
-

956
01:03:07,884 --> 01:03:09,510
This cracker here.

957
01:03:12,020 --> 01:03:13,349
Evenin'.

958
01:03:13,384 --> 01:03:14,515
May I come inside?

959
01:03:14,550 --> 01:03:15,351
No.

960
01:03:17,058 --> 01:03:19,256
I thought we should talk.

961
01:03:20,424 --> 01:03:22,996
I got nothin' to say
to your hillbilly ass.

962
01:03:23,031 --> 01:03:26,901
I wish you wouldn't
call me names.

963
01:03:26,936 --> 01:03:28,265
Do I call you names?

964
01:03:28,300 --> 01:03:31,367
And what would you
like to call me, whitey?

965
01:03:35,142 --> 01:03:37,912
I come here to make peace.

966
01:03:37,947 --> 01:03:41,047
No, I don't wanna make peace
with you, cracker.

967
01:03:44,184 --> 01:03:47,383
I come here
to tell you that I fired

968
01:03:47,418 --> 01:03:49,121
that horn player
who was troublin' you.

969
01:03:49,156 --> 01:03:51,486
And how'd it feel to take
orders from a nigger?

970
01:03:55,327 --> 01:03:57,327
You know,

971
01:03:57,362 --> 01:03:59,835
I don't hate you
'cause you're a...

972
01:04:01,564 --> 01:04:03,432
a Negro.

973
01:04:03,467 --> 01:04:07,073
I hate you 'cause
you're a giant asshole.

974
01:04:07,108 --> 01:04:08,943
Don't you ever step foot

975
01:04:08,978 --> 01:04:12,144
near my studio again,
all right?

976
01:04:12,179 --> 01:04:13,442
Miss Franklin,
you are welcome at any...

977
01:04:13,477 --> 01:04:15,213
Don't you talk
to my wife, cracker!

978
01:04:15,248 --> 01:04:17,017
Now, you keep pushin' me...

979
01:04:17,052 --> 01:04:18,414
Yeah, what you gonna do,
redneck?

980
01:04:18,449 --> 01:04:20,284
-And you keep pushin' me...
-Peckerwood!

981
01:04:20,319 --> 01:04:22,418
Now, you gonna "redneck" me
one more time,

982
01:04:22,453 --> 01:04:25,421
and you gonna "whitey" me
one more time,

983
01:04:25,456 --> 01:04:27,489
-and I'm gonna "nigger" you!
-

984
01:04:27,524 --> 01:04:29,029
Bitch,
call me a nigger again.

985
01:04:32,265 --> 01:04:33,902
Call me
a bitch again, huh.

986
01:04:33,937 --> 01:04:37,169
-You stupid! Ass! Bitch!
-

987
01:04:37,204 --> 01:04:39,270
-

988
01:05:09,005 --> 01:05:11,203
You hungry?

989
01:05:11,238 --> 01:05:12,501
I'm all right.

990
01:05:20,676 --> 01:05:22,544
Come on now, baby.

991
01:05:22,579 --> 01:05:24,480
Come on, come on.
Come to Grandma. Come on.

992
01:05:29,520 --> 01:05:31,586
Ree is home!

993
01:05:38,430 --> 01:05:39,627
That bastard.

994
01:05:39,662 --> 01:05:41,068
I'm gonna kill him.

995
01:05:55,216 --> 01:05:56,347
You here for long?

996
01:05:58,054 --> 01:06:00,087
I'm not sure.

997
01:06:01,156 --> 01:06:02,221
Hmm.

998
01:06:08,196 --> 01:06:11,164
when I come home

999
01:06:13,036 --> 01:06:14,266
-

1000
01:06:17,172 --> 01:06:18,600
Did Aretha Franklin call?

1001
01:06:18,635 --> 01:06:20,008
No.
-No?

1002
01:06:20,043 --> 01:06:21,141
Get it, Momma!

1003
01:06:24,608 --> 01:06:26,542
Call Ted White.

1004
01:06:28,480 --> 01:06:30,986
when I come home

1005
01:06:32,253 --> 01:06:33,714
Do that thing, Momma!

1006
01:06:33,749 --> 01:06:35,716
Just start callin' everybody
on that list.

1007
01:06:35,751 --> 01:06:37,487
Give me
more mashed potato.

1008
01:06:41,196 --> 01:06:43,163
-

1009
01:06:44,397 --> 01:06:45,726
Come on,
Mama Franklin!

1010
01:06:45,761 --> 01:06:47,464
-Now, let's see you dance!
-

1011
01:06:47,499 --> 01:06:49,631
- All right! Oop.

1012
01:06:49,666 --> 01:06:52,766
when I come home

1013
01:06:57,080 --> 01:06:57,738
Hello?

1014
01:07:00,380 --> 01:07:01,709
She isn't here.

1015
01:07:02,745 --> 01:07:04,679
And if you touch her
again, I'll...

1016
01:07:06,617 --> 01:07:07,682
Go to hell.

1017
01:07:11,094 --> 01:07:12,225
Okay.

1018
01:07:14,163 --> 01:07:18,198
Respect when I get home

1019
01:07:21,104 --> 01:07:23,203
-Mind if I sing with y'all?
-Me too!

1020
01:07:27,110 --> 01:07:30,177
That's what I need

1021
01:07:33,776 --> 01:07:36,348
Your momma cut her
first record at that store.

1022
01:07:36,383 --> 01:07:37,349
Jesus Be A Fence.

1023
01:07:38,517 --> 01:07:41,353
Folks lined up
around the block to buy it.

1024
01:07:41,388 --> 01:07:43,652
They lined up to buy
your records, too.

1025
01:07:43,687 --> 01:07:45,225
Ha. I'm about
to tell 'em that story now.

1026
01:07:45,260 --> 01:07:47,260
-Momma...
-

1027
01:07:47,295 --> 01:07:49,229
-Ain't that...
-Don't say "ain't."

1028
01:07:51,299 --> 01:07:52,727
But ain't that you singing?

1029
01:07:57,536 --> 01:07:59,437
They... They released that?

1030
01:07:59,472 --> 01:08:00,636
if I could

1031
01:08:00,671 --> 01:08:01,703
All right!

1032
01:08:01,738 --> 01:08:03,342
-

1033
01:08:06,677 --> 01:08:08,578
It's a hit!

1034
01:08:08,613 --> 01:08:10,778
Ree, it sounds wonderful.

1035
01:08:11,616 --> 01:08:13,517
Don't you think so, baby?

1036
01:08:14,487 --> 01:08:16,256
It's amazing, Ree.

1037
01:08:16,291 --> 01:08:18,390
That's my sister!
-It's amazing.

1038
01:08:18,425 --> 01:08:20,656
That's your momma
singing! That's amazing!

1039
01:08:23,694 --> 01:08:24,759
That's your
momma singing!

1040
01:08:29,304 --> 01:08:30,435
Hello?

1041
01:08:30,470 --> 01:08:32,140
Mr. Wexler,

1042
01:08:32,175 --> 01:08:33,702
I'm ready to record.

1043
01:08:33,737 --> 01:08:34,703
Oh.

1044
01:08:35,178 --> 01:08:36,606
Thank God.

1045
01:08:36,641 --> 01:08:39,411
I want to record with
the Muscle Shoals band.

1046
01:08:39,446 --> 01:08:41,215
Those boys have soul.

1047
01:08:41,250 --> 01:08:43,712
Yes, they do. They do.

1048
01:08:43,747 --> 01:08:46,418
And I want to provide
the backup singers.

1049
01:08:50,424 --> 01:08:52,523
-

1050
01:08:52,558 --> 01:08:55,691
-

1051
01:09:01,336 --> 01:09:04,271
it's a man's world

1052
01:09:06,209 --> 01:09:09,210
by me

1053
01:09:11,676 --> 01:09:15,183
we're together, baby

1054
01:09:19,651 --> 01:09:23,587
'Cause if you
want a do-right
-

1055
01:09:23,622 --> 01:09:26,359
-

1056
01:09:40,738 --> 01:09:44,344
-
my brother

1057
01:09:52,453 --> 01:09:54,618
Sorry.

1058
01:09:54,653 --> 01:09:56,653
You can't treat me like that.

1059
01:10:00,395 --> 01:10:01,526
I know.

1060
01:10:07,798 --> 01:10:09,633
I got demons too, Ree.

1061
01:10:12,407 --> 01:10:13,637
Can you help me fight mine

1062
01:10:13,672 --> 01:10:15,342
the way I help you
fight yours?

1063
01:10:16,939 --> 01:10:18,477
Please.

1064
01:10:20,415 --> 01:10:21,810
I'm so sorry.

1065
01:10:28,687 --> 01:10:30,621
I will help you, baby.

1066
01:10:33,890 --> 01:10:35,527
I love you so much.

1067
01:10:36,332 --> 01:10:37,892
I love you, too.

1068
01:10:41,304 --> 01:10:46,406
all right with me

1069
01:10:46,441 --> 01:10:49,904
every once in a while

1070
01:10:59,619 --> 01:11:01,421
Ree, we've been talkin'.

1071
01:11:01,456 --> 01:11:03,555
How's Clara doin'?

1072
01:11:03,590 --> 01:11:04,952
-She's fine.
-She's good.

1073
01:11:04,987 --> 01:11:06,822
Is Daddy ever
gonna marry Clara?

1074
01:11:09,497 --> 01:11:10,859
I'm surprised
she's stayed this long.

1075
01:11:10,894 --> 01:11:13,730
Why would she leave?
They're church royalty.

1076
01:11:16,999 --> 01:11:19,670
The same reason
they all leave.

1077
01:11:20,409 --> 01:11:22,343
Same reason Momma left.

1078
01:11:23,643 --> 01:11:25,544
The same reason
you need to leave Ted.

1079
01:11:27,614 --> 01:11:30,384
Ted is nothing like Daddy.

1080
01:11:30,419 --> 01:11:31,616
The way you two go at it?

1081
01:11:31,651 --> 01:11:33,453
Just like Momma and Daddy.

1082
01:11:33,488 --> 01:11:34,982
Momma and Daddy didn't fight.

1083
01:11:38,955 --> 01:11:40,625
Wait...

1084
01:11:40,660 --> 01:11:42,429
You're not joking?

1085
01:11:43,498 --> 01:11:45,762
-Joking about what?
-You don't remember?

1086
01:11:45,797 --> 01:11:48,369
Even I remember,
and I was just three or four.

1087
01:11:48,404 --> 01:11:50,030
Remember what?

1088
01:11:50,065 --> 01:11:51,801
Aretha,

1089
01:11:51,836 --> 01:11:54,034
we used to climb up
on the roof

1090
01:11:54,069 --> 01:11:57,444
and sing as loud as we could
to drown them out.

1091
01:11:58,447 --> 01:12:00,612
How could you forget?

1092
01:12:00,647 --> 01:12:02,449
I still have nightmares
about it.

1093
01:12:04,915 --> 01:12:07,718
Well, I was glad
when Momma finally left.

1094
01:12:33,075 --> 01:12:34,910
Why did you leave?

1095
01:12:36,452 --> 01:12:37,616
You don't remember?

1096
01:12:37,948 --> 01:12:39,420
Remember what?

1097
01:12:41,820 --> 01:12:42,885
Nothing.

1098
01:13:06,482 --> 01:13:07,646
What are you doing?

1099
01:13:08,143 --> 01:13:09,384
Get Erma.

1100
01:13:11,454 --> 01:13:12,816
Sure thing.

1101
01:13:43,145 --> 01:13:48,016
For

1102
01:13:52,022 --> 01:13:53,153
Give me...

1103
01:14:09,039 --> 01:14:10,742
One more time.

1104
01:14:14,044 --> 01:14:15,043
Go a third below, Carolyn.

1105
01:14:16,618 --> 01:14:17,683
Yeah.

1106
01:14:18,818 --> 01:14:19,883
Yes.

1107
01:14:21,051 --> 01:14:22,215
Yeah.

1108
01:14:26,529 --> 01:14:28,188
-

1109
01:14:28,223 --> 01:14:30,091
-

1110
01:14:30,126 --> 01:14:32,060
-

1111
01:14:33,195 --> 01:14:34,568
Oh, Big Mama...

1112
01:14:34,603 --> 01:14:35,734
What the hell?

1113
01:14:36,704 --> 01:14:37,934
It's almost 3:00 a.m.

1114
01:14:39,069 --> 01:14:40,838
We're writin' a hit song.

1115
01:14:40,873 --> 01:14:42,070
It's Otis Redding's song.

1116
01:14:43,843 --> 01:14:46,173
-Just a little bit.
-

1117
01:14:53,556 --> 01:14:54,918
Oh, God.

1118
01:14:54,953 --> 01:14:56,656
You really like it?

1119
01:14:56,691 --> 01:14:57,921
-It's wonderful, Ree.
-It's great.

1120
01:14:58,594 --> 01:14:59,824
You're sure?

1121
01:14:59,859 --> 01:15:01,793
Don't do that.

1122
01:15:01,828 --> 01:15:02,761
Y'all tell me

1123
01:15:02,796 --> 01:15:04,191
-if you don't really like it.
-I like it.

1124
01:15:04,765 --> 01:15:05,962
-I love it.
-We love it, Ree.

1125
01:15:05,997 --> 01:15:07,733
Ree-Ree.

1126
01:15:07,768 --> 01:15:09,933
-Re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re.
-

1127
01:15:09,968 --> 01:15:11,605
-Ree.
-

1128
01:15:14,236 --> 01:15:16,841
-

1129
01:15:19,109 --> 01:15:22,847
Re-re-re-re

1130
01:15:22,882 --> 01:15:24,277
That's really good.

1131
01:15:24,312 --> 01:15:25,949
Just a little bit

1132
01:15:25,984 --> 01:15:27,049
Yeah!

1133
01:15:27,722 --> 01:15:29,216
What a line!

1134
01:15:31,154 --> 01:15:33,627
what it means to me

1135
01:15:39,602 --> 01:15:43,032
All right.
- Here we go. Yeah.

1136
01:15:43,067 --> 01:15:44,968
I need a Harlem bassline,
Tommy.

1137
01:15:45,003 --> 01:15:46,838
-Not Alabama.
-

1138
01:15:46,873 --> 01:15:48,642
Well, I ain't been
to Harlem yet.

1139
01:15:48,677 --> 01:15:50,237
But let's funk it up.

1140
01:15:52,681 --> 01:15:54,978
That's nice.

1141
01:15:55,013 --> 01:15:56,815
-

1142
01:15:58,621 --> 01:16:00,819
That is groovy!

1143
01:16:02,020 --> 01:16:05,087
Come on in, Spooner.
What ya got?

1144
01:16:07,223 --> 01:16:09,190
-Yeah!

1145
01:16:09,225 --> 01:16:10,796
I'm gonna keep it simple.

1146
01:16:10,831 --> 01:16:13,128
Like you always do.

1147
01:16:13,163 --> 01:16:14,932
All right.
- That's groovy.

1148
01:16:14,967 --> 01:16:17,132
I dig that.
-Oh, it's her song now.

1149
01:16:17,805 --> 01:16:19,871
-Otis who?
-

1150
01:16:19,906 --> 01:16:21,873
- Solo? Okay.

1151
01:16:31,819 --> 01:16:33,885
All right!

1152
01:16:33,920 --> 01:16:36,118
-

1153
01:16:52,070 --> 01:16:56,171
Baby, I got it

1154
01:16:56,206 --> 01:16:59,845
You know I got it?

1155
01:17:02,014 --> 01:17:04,212
when you come home

1156
01:17:04,247 --> 01:17:06,148
-

1157
01:17:06,183 --> 01:17:07,952
-

1158
01:17:07,987 --> 01:17:11,956
Just a little bit

1159
01:17:11,991 --> 01:17:15,960
while you gone

1160
01:17:15,995 --> 01:17:20,096
'cause I don't wanna

1161
01:17:22,034 --> 01:17:23,935
when you come home

1162
01:17:23,970 --> 01:17:25,871
-

1163
01:17:25,906 --> 01:17:27,741
-

1164
01:17:27,776 --> 01:17:29,204
-

1165
01:17:31,340 --> 01:17:34,374
all of my money

1166
01:17:34,409 --> 01:17:39,687
in return, honey

1167
01:17:39,722 --> 01:17:43,691
when you get home

1168
01:17:45,926 --> 01:17:47,827
When you get home

1169
01:17:47,862 --> 01:17:49,257
-

1170
01:17:52,130 --> 01:17:54,328
-

1171
01:18:09,752 --> 01:18:11,983
-

1172
01:18:12,018 --> 01:18:14,887
So is my money

1173
01:18:16,923 --> 01:18:18,385
to do for me

1174
01:18:20,763 --> 01:18:23,731
Bring it to me

1175
01:18:25,493 --> 01:18:27,163
-

1176
01:18:27,198 --> 01:18:31,167
Find out what it means to me

1177
01:18:31,202 --> 01:18:35,138
Take care, TCB

1178
01:18:35,173 --> 01:18:37,404
sock it to me, sock it to me

1179
01:18:37,439 --> 01:18:39,879
sock it to me, sock it to me

1180
01:18:40,915 --> 01:18:43,047
-

1181
01:18:43,082 --> 01:18:45,115
-

1182
01:18:45,150 --> 01:18:46,952
-

1183
01:18:46,987 --> 01:18:48,723
-

1184
01:18:57,833 --> 01:19:02,033
Aretha! Aretha! Aretha!

1185
01:19:04,103 --> 01:19:08,039
Aretha! Aretha! Aretha!

1186
01:19:08,074 --> 01:19:10,206
Aretha! Aretha!

1187
01:19:13,948 --> 01:19:17,477
-

1188
01:19:17,512 --> 01:19:21,085
to run you away

1189
01:19:23,023 --> 01:19:25,320
-Smokey!
-

1190
01:19:25,355 --> 01:19:27,927
Nobody is talking
about Motown anymore.

1191
01:19:27,962 --> 01:19:30,930
All they want to talk about
is Aretha Franklin.

1192
01:19:31,295 --> 01:19:32,965
You did it, Ree.

1193
01:19:33,000 --> 01:19:34,527
-I did it.
-Yes, you did.

1194
01:19:36,201 --> 01:19:38,806
what I'm gonna do

1195
01:19:44,847 --> 01:19:46,077
What did you wish for?

1196
01:19:46,508 --> 01:19:47,947
More hits.

1197
01:19:50,545 --> 01:19:53,953
Aretha Franklin,
you are the Queen of Soul.

1198
01:19:57,992 --> 01:20:00,058
Why'd you have to do it?

1199
01:20:00,093 --> 01:20:02,896
-

1200
01:20:02,931 --> 01:20:05,492
What is soul music?

1201
01:20:05,527 --> 01:20:06,966
The musician having
the biggest influence

1202
01:20:07,001 --> 01:20:07,967
on this genre

1203
01:20:09,234 --> 01:20:10,530
is Grammy-winning soul singer,
Aretha Franklin.

1204
01:20:13,139 --> 01:20:14,875
From a young age,

1205
01:20:14,910 --> 01:20:18,241
I saw Aretha possess
extraordinary talent.

1206
01:20:18,276 --> 01:20:21,211
Ted is my husband, manager,
and favorite critic.

1207
01:20:21,609 --> 01:20:23,378
Hello, Ted.

1208
01:20:23,413 --> 01:20:25,512
Right now, gospel is
the main influence

1209
01:20:25,547 --> 01:20:27,580
on contemporary
rhythm and blues,

1210
01:20:27,615 --> 01:20:30,583
and that's due to Aretha.
Others have mixed

1211
01:20:30,618 --> 01:20:33,861
gospel and so-called
secular music before her,

1212
01:20:33,896 --> 01:20:35,423
but Aretha puts
a unique spin on it

1213
01:20:35,458 --> 01:20:37,865
that people can relate to.

1214
01:20:37,900 --> 01:20:40,329
It's always great
when families sing together

1215
01:20:40,364 --> 01:20:43,134
because there's a language
between siblings

1216
01:20:43,169 --> 01:20:46,874
that you can't recreate
with just hired hands.

1217
01:20:46,909 --> 01:20:51,142
Ain't No Way is a song
written by Carolyn for Aretha,

1218
01:20:51,177 --> 01:20:54,442
and something Aretha
can relate to because,

1219
01:20:54,477 --> 01:20:57,016
I think, they know
each other so well.

1220
01:20:57,051 --> 01:20:59,414
Show me how the melody
goes in the verse.

1221
01:21:14,662 --> 01:21:16,035
That's it.

1222
01:21:16,070 --> 01:21:17,432
Let me try.

1223
01:21:45,495 --> 01:21:49,464
all you need

1224
01:21:52,040 --> 01:21:55,976
give all of me

1225
01:22:11,290 --> 01:22:15,589
it was planned

1226
01:22:18,726 --> 01:22:21,034
-

1227
01:22:25,667 --> 01:22:29,207
all the things I can

1228
01:22:45,159 --> 01:22:47,995
Yeah

1229
01:23:20,788 --> 01:23:25,527
someone you're not

1230
01:23:35,077 --> 01:23:38,276
for what he got?

1231
01:23:40,511 --> 01:23:45,613
like you say

1232
01:23:48,387 --> 01:23:52,752
Please, please

1233
01:23:52,787 --> 01:23:57,394
that I need you?

1234
01:24:19,781 --> 01:24:21,781
So it fades right here?

1235
01:24:21,816 --> 01:24:23,783
You genius you.

1236
01:24:27,162 --> 01:24:29,228
You really feelin' this one,
aren't you, Ree?

1237
01:24:29,263 --> 01:24:31,362
-I love it.
-

1238
01:24:32,530 --> 01:24:33,727
I can tell.

1239
01:24:34,664 --> 01:24:38,567
See, so, she's just
being completely honest

1240
01:24:39,537 --> 01:24:41,669
in a song about
what she feels

1241
01:24:41,704 --> 01:24:43,770
at any given moment.

1242
01:24:43,805 --> 01:24:45,409
And that's why
the audience relates to her.

1243
01:24:46,610 --> 01:24:49,578
I'm still trying
to figure out who I am.

1244
01:24:49,613 --> 01:24:51,547
I'm not sure yet,

1245
01:24:51,582 --> 01:24:53,615
but I'm trying
to find the answer.

1246
01:25:02,428 --> 01:25:07,266
Now, I am here
to honor Aretha.

1247
01:25:08,566 --> 01:25:12,205
Or Ree, as I like
to call her...

1248
01:25:12,240 --> 01:25:15,505
...for her tireless work
for the Civil Rights Movement.

1249
01:25:16,607 --> 01:25:18,409
Every time

1250
01:25:18,444 --> 01:25:22,545
I ask Aretha to sing
at a fundraiser,

1251
01:25:22,580 --> 01:25:25,548
church event, or a conference,

1252
01:25:25,583 --> 01:25:26,681
she shows up.

1253
01:25:28,487 --> 01:25:31,818
No matter where she is
or what she's doing,

1254
01:25:31,853 --> 01:25:34,689
-she always answers the call.
-

1255
01:25:34,724 --> 01:25:38,363
And I am honored
to present Aretha

1256
01:25:38,398 --> 01:25:41,465
with this proclamation today.

1257
01:25:46,769 --> 01:25:50,309
And I wish that every day

1258
01:25:50,344 --> 01:25:52,674
was Aretha Franklin Day!

1259
01:25:53,743 --> 01:25:56,249
We love you, Aretha!

1260
01:25:56,284 --> 01:25:57,316
After all of that,

1261
01:25:58,419 --> 01:26:00,352
there's really only one thing
left to say, right?

1262
01:26:13,235 --> 01:26:17,171
on the mornin' rain

1263
01:26:19,274 --> 01:26:23,441
so uninspired

1264
01:26:24,807 --> 01:26:27,544
-

1265
01:26:31,814 --> 01:26:35,222
so tired

1266
01:26:44,299 --> 01:26:47,861
to my peace of mind

1267
01:26:51,933 --> 01:26:54,736
-

1268
01:27:04,847 --> 01:27:08,255
what you've done to me

1269
01:27:10,952 --> 01:27:15,328
so good inside

1270
01:27:23,404 --> 01:27:27,769
You make me feel so alive

1271
01:27:33,645 --> 01:27:36,283
Excuse me, Miss Franklin.

1272
01:27:36,318 --> 01:27:37,317
I'm so sorry to bother you,

1273
01:27:37,353 --> 01:27:38,813
-but I just have to tell you.
-It's all right.

1274
01:27:38,848 --> 01:27:39,747
When you sing,

1275
01:27:41,081 --> 01:27:42,949
I feel like you are
talking about my life.

1276
01:27:42,984 --> 01:27:45,985
It helps me,
because it is hard out here.

1277
01:27:46,020 --> 01:27:47,954
But I feel like
you understand,

1278
01:27:47,989 --> 01:27:50,660
and, well, I just
have to thank you.

1279
01:27:51,729 --> 01:27:53,267
Stay strong.

1280
01:27:54,732 --> 01:27:56,303
Okay.

1281
01:27:56,338 --> 01:27:58,437
Yes, thank you.
Thank you very much.

1282
01:27:58,472 --> 01:27:59,605
We have to go now.

1283
01:28:03,477 --> 01:28:06,940
I'm flying to Atlanta tomorrow
to do a benefit for SNCC.

1284
01:28:10,484 --> 01:28:11,945
Cancel it.

1285
01:28:13,421 --> 01:28:15,751
I have some meetings
and interviews lined up.

1286
01:28:16,083 --> 01:28:17,522
No.

1287
01:28:17,557 --> 01:28:19,887
Daddy and Martin
asked me to do it.

1288
01:28:19,922 --> 01:28:21,823
-I'm going.
-

1289
01:28:38,512 --> 01:28:39,676
Aretha!

1290
01:28:39,711 --> 01:28:41,381
Jerry.

1291
01:28:41,416 --> 01:28:42,745
Oh, I love
when you call me Jerry.

1292
01:28:42,780 --> 01:28:43,878
It means you're not mad at me.

1293
01:28:43,913 --> 01:28:45,011
Hello, Ted.

1294
01:28:45,046 --> 01:28:46,518
Jerry.

1295
01:28:46,553 --> 01:28:48,047
Come on in.

1296
01:28:48,082 --> 01:28:50,753
Everyone wants you,
Miss Franklin.

1297
01:28:50,788 --> 01:28:53,426
We've got interest in France,
England, Germany...

1298
01:28:53,461 --> 01:28:54,823
All right, we don't
have to name every country.

1299
01:28:54,858 --> 01:28:56,660
All of Europe.

1300
01:28:56,695 --> 01:28:58,090
The entire continent wants you

1301
01:28:58,125 --> 01:28:59,696
and I think we should
schedule something.

1302
01:28:59,731 --> 01:29:00,928
We should schedule a tour

1303
01:29:00,963 --> 01:29:02,534
that coincides
with the new album.

1304
01:29:02,569 --> 01:29:04,063
We could do that
or we could send her out now

1305
01:29:04,098 --> 01:29:05,669
to create an appetite
for the new record.

1306
01:29:05,704 --> 01:29:07,066
I think that's best.

1307
01:29:07,101 --> 01:29:08,573
I have six venues
ready to clear this...

1308
01:29:08,608 --> 01:29:09,376
And who are you,

1309
01:29:10,412 --> 01:29:12,005
brother?

1310
01:29:13,976 --> 01:29:17,417
Ken Cunningham.
I'm the tour manager.

1311
01:29:18,585 --> 01:29:20,585
Tour manager?

1312
01:29:20,620 --> 01:29:21,520
So, you already
booked the tour?

1313
01:29:21,555 --> 01:29:22,917
It's not booked.

1314
01:29:22,952 --> 01:29:24,754
No, he said
the venues was ready.

1315
01:29:24,789 --> 01:29:26,151
That's right. They were
available if we want 'em.

1316
01:29:26,186 --> 01:29:27,856
You have to gauge
interest early for it.

1317
01:29:27,891 --> 01:29:29,429
-I know how a tour works.
- Okay.

1318
01:29:29,464 --> 01:29:31,563
-No.
-No what?

1319
01:29:31,598 --> 01:29:33,059
No European tour dates.

1320
01:29:33,094 --> 01:29:34,093
Why not?

1321
01:29:34,128 --> 01:29:35,864
Because

1322
01:29:35,899 --> 01:29:37,668
we have some TV dates
we'd like to schedule first.

1323
01:29:37,703 --> 01:29:39,538
Oh, yeah? With whom?

1324
01:29:39,573 --> 01:29:43,410
Carol Burnett, Andy Williams.
Mike Douglas.

1325
01:29:43,445 --> 01:29:45,071
All right. So, those shows
will be there

1326
01:29:45,106 --> 01:29:46,105
when she gets back.

1327
01:29:46,140 --> 01:29:47,678
We have a chance here

1328
01:29:47,713 --> 01:29:49,878
to expand her reach
around the world.

1329
01:29:49,913 --> 01:29:52,078
To make her
a global superstar.

1330
01:29:52,113 --> 01:29:55,114
Do you know what
a rare opportunity that is?

1331
01:29:55,149 --> 01:29:56,885
We're considering
some movie offers as well.

1332
01:29:56,920 --> 01:29:58,117
Movies?

1333
01:29:58,152 --> 01:29:59,954
Aretha. You wanna do movies?

1334
01:30:01,188 --> 01:30:02,594
I think I could.

1335
01:30:02,629 --> 01:30:04,431
Of course you could.

1336
01:30:04,466 --> 01:30:06,059
You could do
any damn thing you want.

1337
01:30:07,997 --> 01:30:09,832
You thought you could
just bring us in here,

1338
01:30:09,867 --> 01:30:11,735
tell us where to go,
what to do,

1339
01:30:11,770 --> 01:30:13,099
and send us on our way?

1340
01:30:13,134 --> 01:30:14,540
You should know by now, Jerry,

1341
01:30:14,575 --> 01:30:16,476
that is not the way
I do business.

1342
01:30:16,511 --> 01:30:19,875
Ken, how much money
could Aretha make on the tour?

1343
01:30:19,910 --> 01:30:21,074
Quarter of a million.

1344
01:30:22,913 --> 01:30:24,814
Carol Burnett
payin' that?

1345
01:30:25,553 --> 01:30:28,488
Movies payin' that?

1346
01:30:28,523 --> 01:30:31,854
We'll consider it.
With the right band.

1347
01:30:31,889 --> 01:30:33,757
All right.

1348
01:30:33,792 --> 01:30:35,759
Well, the Muscle Shoals guys
have started their own label.

1349
01:30:35,794 --> 01:30:37,530
King Curtis is ready to go.

1350
01:30:37,565 --> 01:30:39,499
-Curtis is rockin'.
- He's perfect for you.

1351
01:30:39,534 --> 01:30:41,996
Curtis is good, but I've got
some people lined up.

1352
01:30:42,031 --> 01:30:43,129
Really? Five minutes ago,

1353
01:30:43,164 --> 01:30:44,537
you didn't wanna
go on this tour.

1354
01:30:44,572 --> 01:30:45,769
Now, you've got
people lined up?

1355
01:30:46,233 --> 01:30:47,870
Check the tone, Jerry.

1356
01:30:47,905 --> 01:30:50,004
Just take it easy, Ted.

1357
01:30:50,039 --> 01:30:54,074
I'm sorry.
Forgive me for my tone.

1358
01:30:54,109 --> 01:30:56,483
What musicians
do you have lined up, Ted?

1359
01:30:57,046 --> 01:30:59,145
George Davidson.

1360
01:30:59,180 --> 01:31:01,752
Miller Brisker.
Russell Conway.

1361
01:31:01,787 --> 01:31:04,755
All right. You can't have
the premier singer of our time

1362
01:31:04,790 --> 01:31:07,527
touring Europe with a ragtag
bunch of amateurs

1363
01:31:07,562 --> 01:31:10,222
suitable for backing
some third-rate blues singer

1364
01:31:10,257 --> 01:31:12,191
in a bucket of blood
in Loserville, Louisiana.

1365
01:31:12,226 --> 01:31:14,897
I want to use Ted's musicians,
Mr. Wexler.

1366
01:31:14,932 --> 01:31:16,701
"Mr. Wexler"?

1367
01:31:16,736 --> 01:31:19,506
Oh, God. Aretha, please.

1368
01:31:19,541 --> 01:31:20,340
Can we move on

1369
01:31:21,576 --> 01:31:22,806
to the next item
on the agenda, please?

1370
01:31:28,242 --> 01:31:31,012
Whatever you say,
Miss Franklin.

1371
01:31:35,117 --> 01:31:36,919
So, they do
this funny thing in Amsterdam

1372
01:31:36,954 --> 01:31:38,492
when they really
love a performer.

1373
01:31:39,088 --> 01:31:41,055
They pelt them with flowers.

1374
01:31:41,090 --> 01:31:42,727
Pardon me.

1375
01:31:42,762 --> 01:31:44,025
I warned them not
to get too crazy with it,

1376
01:31:44,060 --> 01:31:45,290
but you might
get hit with a few.

1377
01:31:45,325 --> 01:31:46,830
After the show, please.
After the show.

1378
01:31:46,865 --> 01:31:47,798
Right through this door.

1379
01:31:49,703 --> 01:31:51,571
Watch your step.

1380
01:31:51,606 --> 01:31:53,001
-

1381
01:32:15,058 --> 01:32:17,058
in your chain

1382
01:32:22,131 --> 01:32:24,131
but your fool

1383
01:32:33,681 --> 01:32:36,913
-

1384
01:32:50,225 --> 01:32:53,732
you strength

1385
01:32:56,638 --> 01:32:59,606
to leave you alone

1386
01:32:59,641 --> 01:33:01,608
Fix this
or I'll have your job.

1387
01:33:01,643 --> 01:33:03,940
My father said,
"Come on home"

1388
01:33:03,975 --> 01:33:07,273
"Take it easy"

1389
01:33:07,308 --> 01:33:09,649
-

1390
01:33:15,052 --> 01:33:16,920
Aretha! Aretha!

1391
01:33:20,959 --> 01:33:23,762
Can you comment on the recent
Time magazine cover story?

1392
01:33:24,391 --> 01:33:26,160
Oh, I haven't read it yet,

1393
01:33:26,195 --> 01:33:28,030
but it is a great honor
to grace the cover

1394
01:33:28,065 --> 01:33:29,900
of such
a prestigious magazine.

1395
01:33:32,674 --> 01:33:34,905
This Time article
says that your husband

1396
01:33:34,940 --> 01:33:36,709
beat you in a hotel lobby.

1397
01:33:36,744 --> 01:33:37,303
Excuse me?

1398
01:33:43,410 --> 01:33:45,047
Is this true?

1399
01:33:45,082 --> 01:33:47,049
No more questions!
Let's go!

1400
01:33:47,084 --> 01:33:48,952
-Move.

1401
01:33:52,386 --> 01:33:53,693
It's a lie!

1402
01:33:54,828 --> 01:33:56,795
It's a dirty lie!

1403
01:33:56,830 --> 01:33:58,159
Get off! Come here!

1404
01:33:59,360 --> 01:34:02,834
No, that's too low.
I want $10 million.

1405
01:34:08,743 --> 01:34:11,040
They're gonna be sorry
they wrote this shit.

1406
01:34:11,779 --> 01:34:13,042
And you know, your daddy,

1407
01:34:13,077 --> 01:34:15,209
he doesn't come across
too well either.

1408
01:34:15,244 --> 01:34:16,815
He may wanna sue 'em
his damn self.

1409
01:34:16,850 --> 01:34:18,179
How are you gonna prove
that you didn't hit me?

1410
01:34:20,018 --> 01:34:22,183
You did and everyone saw it!

1411
01:34:24,187 --> 01:34:26,990
Another man would
have killed you by now.

1412
01:34:27,025 --> 01:34:28,728
Crazy way you act.

1413
01:34:30,996 --> 01:34:32,259
Get out of my way.

1414
01:34:32,294 --> 01:34:33,964
What are you gonna do, huh?
What are you gonna do?

1415
01:34:33,999 --> 01:34:34,899
I mean it.

1416
01:34:36,771 --> 01:34:38,133
You would still be singing

1417
01:34:38,168 --> 01:34:39,673
some Al Jolson shit
if it wasn't for me.

1418
01:34:40,500 --> 01:34:42,676
-I wrote half your hits.
-

1419
01:34:44,009 --> 01:34:45,437
Are you laughing at me?

1420
01:34:45,472 --> 01:34:47,208
You know damn well
you didn't write one word.

1421
01:34:47,914 --> 01:34:49,782
One note of anything.

1422
01:34:49,817 --> 01:34:51,278
I just let you put
your name on it

1423
01:34:51,313 --> 01:34:52,851
to keep you
from throwing a fit.

1424
01:34:52,886 --> 01:34:54,919
I Never Loved A Man
came from me.

1425
01:34:54,954 --> 01:34:56,723
My songwriter!

1426
01:34:56,758 --> 01:34:59,726
That song wasn't anything
until I rearranged it.

1427
01:34:59,761 --> 01:35:02,388
And I sang the hell out of it
because it was about you.

1428
01:35:02,423 --> 01:35:05,424
You're a lying, no good,

1429
01:35:05,459 --> 01:35:08,801
just useless, psychopath.

1430
01:35:08,836 --> 01:35:10,968
-No!

1431
01:35:15,810 --> 01:35:17,304
I'm done with you.

1432
01:35:19,473 --> 01:35:22,210
Yeah, you've said that before.

1433
01:35:22,245 --> 01:35:23,915
You wait until
your demons come back!

1434
01:35:25,314 --> 01:35:27,116
After livin' with you,

1435
01:35:28,218 --> 01:35:30,053
I'm ready for 'em.

1436
01:36:02,219 --> 01:36:05,121
This song goes out

1437
01:36:05,156 --> 01:36:09,290
to anyone who has
ever felt mistreated.

1438
01:36:11,965 --> 01:36:13,833
Two, three, four.

1439
01:36:13,868 --> 01:36:15,934
-

1440
01:36:21,106 --> 01:36:22,974
-

1441
01:36:23,009 --> 01:36:25,141
you're trying to do to me

1442
01:36:25,176 --> 01:36:26,945
-

1443
01:36:26,980 --> 01:36:29,409
Let yourself be free

1444
01:36:29,444 --> 01:36:31,147
let's go back

1445
01:36:31,182 --> 01:36:33,347
way back when

1446
01:36:34,988 --> 01:36:36,251
too much more than 10

1447
01:36:38,321 --> 01:36:41,157
I ain't no doctor with degree

1448
01:36:41,192 --> 01:36:43,489
too much high IQ

1449
01:36:43,524 --> 01:36:45,326
you're doing to me

1450
01:36:45,361 --> 01:36:47,229
-

1451
01:36:47,264 --> 01:36:49,099
you're trying to do to me

1452
01:36:49,134 --> 01:36:50,870
-

1453
01:36:50,905 --> 01:36:52,938
let yourself be free

1454
01:36:52,973 --> 01:36:55,303
-

1455
01:36:55,338 --> 01:36:57,272
-

1456
01:37:19,065 --> 01:37:22,561
You, think about it

1457
01:37:22,596 --> 01:37:24,299
you could ask

1458
01:37:24,334 --> 01:37:25,366
with I won't

1459
01:37:27,205 --> 01:37:28,974
but I'm not

1460
01:37:29,009 --> 01:37:30,602
doing things I don't

1461
01:37:30,637 --> 01:37:32,505
-

1462
01:37:32,540 --> 01:37:34,276
you're trying to do to me

1463
01:37:34,311 --> 01:37:36,047
-

1464
01:37:36,082 --> 01:37:37,917
let yourself be free

1465
01:37:37,952 --> 01:37:40,117
-

1466
01:37:40,152 --> 01:37:42,449
-

1467
01:37:42,484 --> 01:37:46,585
There ain't nothing we can do

1468
01:37:46,620 --> 01:37:48,554
Think about it right now

1469
01:37:50,261 --> 01:37:52,195
-

1470
01:37:58,467 --> 01:38:00,401
-

1471
01:38:49,287 --> 01:38:50,451
Thank you.

1472
01:39:16,281 --> 01:39:18,578
I have some trash
I need taken downstairs.

1473
01:39:19,284 --> 01:39:22,120
Right now, please.

1474
01:39:42,175 --> 01:39:43,636
Just come over.

1475
01:39:45,607 --> 01:39:47,310
I know.

1476
01:39:49,578 --> 01:39:51,380
I don't care.

1477
01:39:53,450 --> 01:39:54,647
Just...

1478
01:39:55,749 --> 01:39:57,419
be with me.

1479
01:40:33,391 --> 01:40:35,292
You sure
that ain't too much, Ree?

1480
01:40:35,327 --> 01:40:38,493
Listen, you're about
to have the meal of your life.

1481
01:40:38,528 --> 01:40:39,758
She put
her foot in there. Smell it.

1482
01:40:39,793 --> 01:40:41,595
Yes, I did,
yes, I did.

1483
01:40:41,630 --> 01:40:43,201
-She put somethin' in there.
-Put her foot in, she did.

1484
01:40:43,236 --> 01:40:44,565
I don't know.
That smells funny.

1485
01:40:44,600 --> 01:40:45,833
-Darlin', get outta there.

1486
01:40:45,868 --> 01:40:47,370
-You want me to get that, Ree?
- Yes, answer. Get...

1487
01:40:47,405 --> 01:40:48,173
Get outta here!

1488
01:40:50,309 --> 01:40:50,802
All right, put it back.

1489
01:40:50,837 --> 01:40:51,704
Hello?

1490
01:40:52,575 --> 01:40:54,773
And that's me.

1491
01:40:54,808 --> 01:40:57,743
This will bring Big Mama
to her knees, honey.

1492
01:40:57,778 --> 01:40:59,118
You goin' to Hell
for that.

1493
01:40:59,153 --> 01:40:59,745
Hey.

1494
01:41:01,254 --> 01:41:02,649
She knows.

1495
01:41:04,191 --> 01:41:05,586
No, no, no.

1496
01:41:07,557 --> 01:41:09,326
-No, no, no.
- What's wrong?

1497
01:41:10,692 --> 01:41:11,592
What's wrong?

1498
01:41:16,698 --> 01:41:17,598
Hello?

1499
01:41:18,568 --> 01:41:20,205
What is it?

1500
01:41:21,538 --> 01:41:22,603
What?

1501
01:41:25,839 --> 01:41:27,740
-What?
-It's Martin.

1502
01:41:28,545 --> 01:41:30,281
They...

1503
01:41:30,316 --> 01:41:32,778
Oh, God.
- They shot him.

1504
01:41:32,813 --> 01:41:35,154
Oh, God.

1505
01:41:35,189 --> 01:41:38,388
I wanna
say it one more time

1506
01:43:41,546 --> 01:43:43,942
He kept telling me

1507
01:43:43,977 --> 01:43:45,746
that they were gonna get him.

1508
01:43:47,585 --> 01:43:52,258
But I said, "Martin, the Lord
has more for you to do.

1509
01:43:52,854 --> 01:43:55,360
You're gonna be all right."

1510
01:43:57,463 --> 01:43:58,660
But he knew.

1511
01:43:59,762 --> 01:44:01,498
He knew.

1512
01:44:02,765 --> 01:44:05,337
Other ministers
were jealous of him,

1513
01:44:06,307 --> 01:44:07,900
-but I never was.
-Mm.

1514
01:44:08,507 --> 01:44:10,474
He was my friend.

1515
01:44:11,576 --> 01:44:13,609
-I ministered him...
-Yeah.

1516
01:44:13,644 --> 01:44:14,775
...advised him.

1517
01:44:15,613 --> 01:44:16,975
Prayed with him.

1518
01:44:18,319 --> 01:44:20,781
-Yes, you did.
-More time than I can count.

1519
01:44:23,588 --> 01:44:25,324
I loved him, Ree.

1520
01:44:25,359 --> 01:44:26,919
He loved you.

1521
01:44:31,596 --> 01:44:33,794
Who's gonna lead us now?

1522
01:44:35,732 --> 01:44:37,864
They don't listen
to me anymore.

1523
01:44:37,899 --> 01:44:40,834
You still have
the biggest church in Detroit.

1524
01:44:42,002 --> 01:44:43,804
I still know
how to get 'em goin'.

1525
01:44:44,510 --> 01:44:45,839
-Yes, you do.
-I do.

1526
01:44:45,874 --> 01:44:47,709
Can I join you?

1527
01:44:47,744 --> 01:44:50,316
No. I just wanna talk to Ree.
Can I do that?

1528
01:44:50,351 --> 01:44:51,845
-Can I just talk to Ree?
-Of course you can.

1529
01:44:51,880 --> 01:44:53,352
-Daddy, Daddy, Daddy.
-Of course you can.

1530
01:44:54,487 --> 01:44:57,323
Um, I'll be right there
when you need me.

1531
01:44:59,657 --> 01:45:01,426
They need leadership, Ree.

1532
01:45:03,562 --> 01:45:05,056
You should see
the way these fools

1533
01:45:05,091 --> 01:45:08,631
are steppin' over
Martin's body to be in charge.

1534
01:45:08,666 --> 01:45:10,666
I don't want no part of that.

1535
01:45:11,900 --> 01:45:15,902
And these young
revolutionaries out here,

1536
01:45:15,937 --> 01:45:17,475
they don't want
no part of what we built.

1537
01:45:18,775 --> 01:45:21,479
They want to free our people.

1538
01:45:21,514 --> 01:45:23,481
They all talk.

1539
01:45:23,516 --> 01:45:25,846
Not all of them.
I like Angela Davis.

1540
01:45:27,817 --> 01:45:30,389
She don't care
about public opinion

1541
01:45:30,424 --> 01:45:32,017
and she's not afraid
to speak up

1542
01:45:32,052 --> 01:45:34,525
to those pigs or anyone else.

1543
01:45:34,560 --> 01:45:37,825
-Pigs?
-Yes, pigs.

1544
01:45:37,860 --> 01:45:39,398
You saw what they did to us
during the rebellion.

1545
01:45:39,433 --> 01:45:40,597
Riots.

1546
01:45:41,534 --> 01:45:43,666
Why shouldn't we fight back?

1547
01:45:43,701 --> 01:45:46,438
And start a full-on war?
You think we can win that?

1548
01:45:46,473 --> 01:45:47,901
We're tired of gettin'
our heads kicked in.

1549
01:45:47,936 --> 01:45:51,443
Non-violence
got us our civil rights

1550
01:45:51,478 --> 01:45:53,544
and our right to vote.

1551
01:45:53,579 --> 01:45:54,974
At what price? Our souls?

1552
01:45:55,009 --> 01:45:56,349
Our dignity?

1553
01:45:57,110 --> 01:45:58,384
Hmm.

1554
01:46:01,620 --> 01:46:03,356
I've been thinking.

1555
01:46:05,756 --> 01:46:07,690
We should hit the road again.

1556
01:46:10,123 --> 01:46:11,661
Why not?

1557
01:46:11,696 --> 01:46:13,531
A northern tour.

1558
01:46:13,566 --> 01:46:16,600
Me preachin' and you singin'.

1559
01:46:16,635 --> 01:46:17,568
Mm-mmm.

1560
01:46:19,506 --> 01:46:22,936
Just think on it.

1561
01:46:22,971 --> 01:46:24,608
You don't gotta
decide tonight.

1562
01:46:24,643 --> 01:46:25,906
I'm not doing that, Daddy.

1563
01:46:27,580 --> 01:46:29,613
I know you got
your very busy tourin'

1564
01:46:29,648 --> 01:46:30,944
and recordin' schedule.

1565
01:46:30,979 --> 01:46:32,451
This won't interfere
with that.

1566
01:46:32,486 --> 01:46:34,046
-I won't interfere with that.
-No.

1567
01:46:35,654 --> 01:46:38,589
I'm done with that.

1568
01:46:38,624 --> 01:46:40,591
I can't go back
to headlining with you.

1569
01:46:46,995 --> 01:46:49,798
You're not walkin'
in the spirit anymore.

1570
01:46:51,604 --> 01:46:54,132
That is not true.

1571
01:46:54,167 --> 01:46:57,102
You're drinking
and you're whoring around.

1572
01:46:57,137 --> 01:46:58,609
Same as you!

1573
01:46:58,644 --> 01:47:00,446
You not too old for me
to knock you on your ass!

1574
01:47:00,481 --> 01:47:01,942
-You know that, right?
-Is everything all right?

1575
01:47:01,977 --> 01:47:04,450
Just mind your own business!
I'm talkin' to...

1576
01:47:04,485 --> 01:47:05,781
Don't talk to her like that.

1577
01:47:05,816 --> 01:47:08,047
Have you lost your mind, huh?

1578
01:47:08,082 --> 01:47:09,983
Maybe.

1579
01:47:10,018 --> 01:47:11,952
Maybe I found it.

1580
01:47:15,221 --> 01:47:16,726
Come on, let's get you to bed.

1581
01:47:16,761 --> 01:47:18,464
Just...

1582
01:47:18,499 --> 01:47:20,092
Just don't.

1583
01:47:31,776 --> 01:47:34,612
-I heard your conversation.
-Mm...

1584
01:47:34,647 --> 01:47:36,108
I'm not sorry.

1585
01:47:36,143 --> 01:47:38,044
No, no, you ain't got nothin'
to be sorry for.

1586
01:47:39,718 --> 01:47:41,652
Just do your thing, Ree.

1587
01:47:42,589 --> 01:47:47,152
And you do it
as big and as loud

1588
01:47:47,187 --> 01:47:48,989
and as long as you can.

1589
01:48:19,120 --> 01:48:23,254
la, la, la, la,

1590
01:48:23,289 --> 01:48:27,797
la, la, la, la

1591
01:48:27,832 --> 01:48:33,099
at Spanish Harlem

1592
01:48:33,134 --> 01:48:36,069
Please, just listen
to it again, okay?

1593
01:48:36,104 --> 01:48:38,203
I have a great feeling
about this song,

1594
01:48:38,238 --> 01:48:40,205
and The Beatles
are getting restless.

1595
01:48:40,240 --> 01:48:42,614
They said if you
don't do it, they will.

1596
01:48:42,649 --> 01:48:44,616
The song is Catholic, Jerry.

1597
01:48:44,651 --> 01:48:46,211
I'm a Baptist.

1598
01:48:46,246 --> 01:48:48,048
That's... That's crazy.

1599
01:48:48,083 --> 01:48:49,313
-You thought that's gonna...
-They caught Angela Davis.

1600
01:48:49,348 --> 01:48:51,084
-What?
- That can't be right.

1601
01:48:51,119 --> 01:48:52,954
No, no, no, no.

1602
01:48:52,989 --> 01:48:55,561
Angela Davis,
a young Black militant

1603
01:48:55,596 --> 01:48:57,222
who has been hunted
for nearly two months

1604
01:48:57,257 --> 01:48:58,894
on murder
and kidnapping charges,

1605
01:49:00,667 --> 01:49:02,700
was arrested yesterday at a
hotel in midtown Manhattan

1606
01:49:02,735 --> 01:49:05,230
by agents of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation.

1607
01:49:05,265 --> 01:49:07,573
-

1608
01:49:07,608 --> 01:49:09,971
Angela Davis
must go free.

1609
01:49:10,006 --> 01:49:12,743
Black people will be free.

1610
01:49:12,778 --> 01:49:15,042
My daddy says
I don't know what I'm doing.

1611
01:49:15,077 --> 01:49:17,176
I respect him, of course,

1612
01:49:17,211 --> 01:49:20,146
but I have to stick
by my beliefs.

1613
01:49:20,181 --> 01:49:24,557
You have to disturb the peace
when you can't get no peace.

1614
01:49:30,829 --> 01:49:32,796
What the hell
is this tour schedule?

1615
01:49:32,831 --> 01:49:34,930
-Half the damn dates are gone!
-All right, all right,

1616
01:49:34,965 --> 01:49:36,635
we were just about to have
a talk with you about this.

1617
01:49:36,670 --> 01:49:37,999
We?

1618
01:49:38,034 --> 01:49:39,572
We're not having
a family barbecue?

1619
01:49:40,674 --> 01:49:42,003
This is one of these
Ken hippie talks?

1620
01:49:42,038 --> 01:49:43,675
I told you this wasn't
gonna work.

1621
01:49:43,710 --> 01:49:44,775
Just breathe.

1622
01:49:44,810 --> 01:49:46,007
Put the damn dates back.

1623
01:49:46,042 --> 01:49:46,942
Don't do it, Cecil.
Listen, Ree...

1624
01:49:46,977 --> 01:49:48,009
You work for me, Cecil.

1625
01:49:48,044 --> 01:49:49,373
You overbook.

1626
01:49:49,408 --> 01:49:51,177
You don't show up
for half the dates,

1627
01:49:51,212 --> 01:49:52,277
then I have to
deal with the fallout.

1628
01:49:52,312 --> 01:49:53,817
It's your damn job!

1629
01:49:53,852 --> 01:49:54,917
We're trying to help you.

1630
01:49:54,952 --> 01:49:56,721
Aretha, you need to slow down.

1631
01:49:56,756 --> 01:49:58,624
You stop for five minutes,
they forget all about you.

1632
01:49:58,659 --> 01:49:59,757
That's ridiculous.

1633
01:50:00,860 --> 01:50:02,287
How would you know, Erma?
You barely have one hit.

1634
01:50:02,322 --> 01:50:03,959
Ree,
you haven't slept in months.

1635
01:50:03,994 --> 01:50:05,862
And you look like it.

1636
01:50:05,897 --> 01:50:07,765
You don't want me to tell you
what you look like, Carolyn.

1637
01:50:07,800 --> 01:50:09,063
Well, next time
you have a breakdown,

1638
01:50:10,099 --> 01:50:11,296
don't call us, all right?

1639
01:50:14,334 --> 01:50:15,608
I won't.

1640
01:50:16,677 --> 01:50:18,204
Come on,
let's go outside. Come on.

1641
01:50:18,239 --> 01:50:20,712
And don't call me
when you need a gig,

1642
01:50:20,747 --> 01:50:25,112
or you want me to write liner
notes in your jive-ass album,

1643
01:50:25,147 --> 01:50:27,378
or introduce you
to some producers,

1644
01:50:27,413 --> 01:50:31,085
or just borrow some cash
that your ass never pay back.

1645
01:50:31,120 --> 01:50:33,318
If I don't work,
y'all don't eat.

1646
01:50:34,387 --> 01:50:36,255
Right.

1647
01:50:36,290 --> 01:50:37,927
Put the damn dates
back, Cecil.

1648
01:50:40,261 --> 01:50:45,363
Three venues in three states
in three days.

1649
01:50:45,398 --> 01:50:48,201
-Happy now?
-Yes, I am.

1650
01:50:48,236 --> 01:50:50,676
And don't ever pull that
bullshit with me again.

1651
01:50:50,711 --> 01:50:52,172
I know how to run
my damn business.

1652
01:50:53,043 --> 01:50:55,340
You asked me.

1653
01:50:55,375 --> 01:50:56,880
Y'all just wanna
take my crown.

1654
01:50:56,915 --> 01:50:59,080
-Oh, God.
-Please.

1655
01:50:59,115 --> 01:51:02,215
Ree, think about our son.
This isn't good for him.

1656
01:51:02,250 --> 01:51:04,085
Don't tell me
I'm a bad mother.

1657
01:51:04,120 --> 01:51:05,691
-Here comes the paranoia.
- I never said that!

1658
01:51:05,726 --> 01:51:07,891
Olga, bring Miss Franklin
a fruit juice.

1659
01:51:07,926 --> 01:51:09,321
Don't you dare.

1660
01:51:11,127 --> 01:51:13,996
What you staring at?
Go get my lunch.

1661
01:51:14,031 --> 01:51:15,195
Yes, ma'am.

1662
01:51:17,265 --> 01:51:19,133
Tell me y'all
don't want what I got.

1663
01:51:19,168 --> 01:51:20,871
All right, forget it!

1664
01:51:20,906 --> 01:51:22,334
I can't talk to you
when that demon takes hold.

1665
01:51:24,008 --> 01:51:25,876
You don't know
what I go through.

1666
01:51:25,911 --> 01:51:27,911
Y'all don't know
what I've been through!

1667
01:51:27,946 --> 01:51:29,011
We love you, Ree.

1668
01:51:29,046 --> 01:51:31,013
Why can't you see that, Ree?

1669
01:51:31,048 --> 01:51:33,114
Get the hell out of my house.

1670
01:51:33,149 --> 01:51:34,852
No, don't move. We're going
to deal with this, Ree.

1671
01:51:34,887 --> 01:51:36,084
Out!

1672
01:51:37,417 --> 01:51:38,691
Out!

1673
01:51:40,321 --> 01:51:41,353
Out!

1674
01:51:45,029 --> 01:51:46,292
-Come on, baby, please.
-Mm-mm.

1675
01:51:49,165 --> 01:51:52,166
Ree, listen to me.
They're here to help you.

1676
01:51:52,201 --> 01:51:54,366
- Please.

1677
01:51:57,943 --> 01:51:59,404
It's your family.

1678
01:51:59,439 --> 01:52:02,275
Teddy! Calf! Come help
your momma sing now.

1679
01:52:07,788 --> 01:52:11,218
and Black

1680
01:52:11,253 --> 01:52:15,123
precious thing

1681
01:52:16,324 --> 01:52:19,765
Young,
gifted, and Black

1682
01:52:19,800 --> 01:52:23,967
precious thing

1683
01:52:24,002 --> 01:52:25,001
Say it again.

1684
01:52:26,235 --> 01:52:28,972
and Black

1685
01:52:29,007 --> 01:52:33,911
to what I mean

1686
01:52:33,946 --> 01:52:37,277
gifted, and Black

1687
01:52:41,217 --> 01:52:44,416
I'm gonna take the kids
back to Detroit with me.

1688
01:52:45,958 --> 01:52:47,925
I think that's best.

1689
01:52:53,295 --> 01:52:54,866
What are you thinking
right now?

1690
01:52:54,901 --> 01:52:56,296
Just things.

1691
01:53:02,040 --> 01:53:03,336
What things?

1692
01:53:03,371 --> 01:53:05,976
Private things.

1693
01:53:06,011 --> 01:53:08,440
After all this time, you're
still keepin' stuff from me?

1694
01:53:10,543 --> 01:53:12,312
You don't keep stuff from me?

1695
01:53:12,512 --> 01:53:13,445
No.

1696
01:53:14,888 --> 01:53:16,085
You should.

1697
01:53:16,120 --> 01:53:18,186
Why? I trust you.

1698
01:53:19,057 --> 01:53:20,320
Don't you trust me?

1699
01:53:21,125 --> 01:53:23,488
Sometimes.

1700
01:53:23,523 --> 01:53:25,325
What do I have to do
to make it all the time?

1701
01:53:25,899 --> 01:53:27,459
Just let me be.

1702
01:53:36,877 --> 01:53:38,338
I know what to do.

1703
01:53:46,084 --> 01:53:47,215
Mmm.

1704
01:53:49,219 --> 01:53:51,186
Be here with me.

1705
01:53:51,221 --> 01:53:53,386
Just let your mind go quiet
for a moment.

1706
01:53:53,421 --> 01:53:55,861
That would be easy
if you stopped talking.

1707
01:54:03,431 --> 01:54:04,496
What's wrong?

1708
01:54:04,905 --> 01:54:06,036
Nothing.

1709
01:54:07,974 --> 01:54:09,303
I have to make some calls.

1710
01:54:09,338 --> 01:54:10,942
You don't have
to call anyone, Ree.

1711
01:54:10,977 --> 01:54:12,273
You don't know
what I have to do.

1712
01:54:12,308 --> 01:54:13,505
Don't go to that dark place.

1713
01:54:14,640 --> 01:54:16,376
Come here.

1714
01:54:18,314 --> 01:54:19,544
Come here.

1715
01:54:25,057 --> 01:54:26,892
Tell me what's wrong, baby.

1716
01:54:33,065 --> 01:54:34,295
You're shaking.

1717
01:54:34,330 --> 01:54:36,066
You act so tough.

1718
01:54:36,101 --> 01:54:38,068
I can see that little
scared girl in you.

1719
01:54:38,103 --> 01:54:39,905
Shit!

1720
01:54:39,940 --> 01:54:42,006
-I'm sorry.

1721
01:54:42,503 --> 01:54:44,206
I'm so sorry.

1722
01:54:48,113 --> 01:54:49,310
It's all right.

1723
01:54:49,345 --> 01:54:50,278
Shit!

1724
01:54:59,960 --> 01:55:02,059
She can't do it, Cecil.

1725
01:55:02,094 --> 01:55:03,555
Put her on the phone.

1726
01:55:05,493 --> 01:55:07,625
She's asleep right now.
Her migraine.

1727
01:55:07,660 --> 01:55:10,001
Man, who do you think
you're bullshittin'?

1728
01:55:10,036 --> 01:55:12,531
Tell Ree she's gonna
get sued again.

1729
01:55:16,504 --> 01:55:18,042
One of us
needs to go check on her.

1730
01:55:18,077 --> 01:55:19,538
Well, it's your job
to keep an eye on her.

1731
01:55:19,573 --> 01:55:20,506
Ladies and gentlemen,

1732
01:55:20,541 --> 01:55:22,640
the Queen of Soul,

1733
01:55:22,675 --> 01:55:25,610
Miss Aretha Franklin!

1734
01:55:25,645 --> 01:55:27,414
- Ree!

1735
01:55:27,449 --> 01:55:29,614
Hey, let us help you.

1736
01:55:29,649 --> 01:55:30,450
Please.

1737
01:55:42,662 --> 01:55:44,101
-

1738
01:55:51,308 --> 01:55:55,112
for you

1739
01:56:02,583 --> 01:56:04,286
-

1740
01:56:11,295 --> 01:56:13,999
to wear now

1741
01:56:15,728 --> 01:56:18,135
-

1742
01:56:18,170 --> 01:56:21,336
You'll stay in my heart

1743
01:56:23,076 --> 01:56:26,275
We never will part

1744
01:56:28,114 --> 01:56:30,081
-

1745
01:56:30,116 --> 01:56:33,480
To live without you

1746
01:56:33,515 --> 01:56:37,319
Only bring
heartbreak for me

1747
01:56:46,462 --> 01:56:48,297
-

1748
01:57:04,678 --> 01:57:06,744
-Ree? Ree?

1749
01:57:06,779 --> 01:57:09,252
Ree? Ree? Can you hear me?

1750
01:57:09,287 --> 01:57:10,748
-Don't move.
- Don't... Don't move.

1751
01:57:10,783 --> 01:57:12,585
-Your arm?
- Someone get a medic!

1752
01:57:12,620 --> 01:57:14,125
Come here, baby,
come here.

1753
01:57:14,160 --> 01:57:15,720
Roll over. Roll over.

1754
01:57:15,755 --> 01:57:17,293
Easy, easy, easy.
-Stay back!

1755
01:57:18,164 --> 01:57:19,526
I got you, I got you.

1756
01:57:19,561 --> 01:57:21,660
Back, please.
Get back, please.

1757
01:57:21,695 --> 01:57:23,233
-Keep back, please!

1758
01:57:23,268 --> 01:57:25,070
Is she okay?

1759
01:57:25,105 --> 01:57:26,170
It's gonna be all right, Ree.

1760
01:57:27,305 --> 01:57:29,239
I can't do this anymore.

1761
01:57:34,642 --> 01:57:35,707
Mm.

1762
01:58:27,563 --> 01:58:28,760
Please...

1763
01:58:29,829 --> 01:58:31,301
Please...

1764
02:00:15,968 --> 02:00:21,279
-

1765
02:00:53,610 --> 02:00:55,643
Our Father...

1766
02:00:59,583 --> 02:01:01,550
-Which art in Heaven...

1767
02:01:04,324 --> 02:01:06,918
Hallowed be Thy name.

1768
02:01:08,526 --> 02:01:10,592
Thy kingdom come.

1769
02:02:22,600 --> 02:02:24,864
You always did know
how to make an entrance.

1770
02:02:28,540 --> 02:02:29,605
James.

1771
02:02:39,485 --> 02:02:40,748
All right.

1772
02:02:42,554 --> 02:02:45,423
Okay. You come and sit.

1773
02:02:45,458 --> 02:02:46,820
Come on.

1774
02:03:00,506 --> 02:03:02,539
What y'all wanna sing?

1775
02:03:02,574 --> 02:03:03,771
And...

1776
02:03:06,479 --> 02:03:09,810
An all-gospel record
has a very limited audience.

1777
02:03:09,845 --> 02:03:11,944
-I don't care.
-You do care.

1778
02:03:11,979 --> 02:03:14,485
You sat in that office
with me six years ago,

1779
02:03:14,520 --> 02:03:15,849
and you said
you wanted to make hits,

1780
02:03:15,884 --> 02:03:17,114
and I think you still do.

1781
02:03:17,149 --> 02:03:19,490
I'm making this album, Jerry.

1782
02:03:19,525 --> 02:03:21,591
All right, can you just
hear me out, please?

1783
02:03:21,626 --> 02:03:23,087
I'm making this album,

1784
02:03:23,122 --> 02:03:26,057
or I'll never make an album
with you again.

1785
02:03:27,764 --> 02:03:30,468
All I wanna do
is drink now, Jerry.

1786
02:03:30,503 --> 02:03:32,437
Well, let me get you
into a program.

1787
02:03:32,472 --> 02:03:34,967
I'm in a program,
but I need the church.

1788
02:03:35,002 --> 02:03:36,441
I need the spirit.

1789
02:03:36,476 --> 02:03:37,508
It has always
gotten me through,

1790
02:03:37,543 --> 02:03:38,608
and it will get me
through again.

1791
02:03:40,810 --> 02:03:42,975
Okay. Well, can we just...

1792
02:03:43,010 --> 02:03:44,779
I... I mean,
just think about this...

1793
02:03:44,814 --> 02:03:47,617
This album is not for me
or for you or anybody else.

1794
02:03:47,652 --> 02:03:49,454
This album is for God.

1795
02:03:49,489 --> 02:03:52,655
And you can't jive God, Jerry,
so stop trying.

1796
02:03:52,690 --> 02:03:54,019
- Oh.

1797
02:03:54,054 --> 02:03:57,825
I'm not trying to jive you
or Jesus, okay?

1798
02:03:59,895 --> 02:04:01,598
It's the gospel record.

1799
02:04:03,503 --> 02:04:06,834
It's 1972, for Christ's sake.
Sorry. I...

1800
02:04:07,507 --> 02:04:08,572
Hey,

1801
02:04:09,905 --> 02:04:12,477
how about we make
a documentary film

1802
02:04:12,512 --> 02:04:13,511
to go along with the record?

1803
02:04:13,546 --> 02:04:14,908
Why?

1804
02:04:14,943 --> 02:04:17,746
So, the international fans,
the hippies,

1805
02:04:17,781 --> 02:04:20,551
the atheists like me
can see you in your element

1806
02:04:20,586 --> 02:04:22,784
and understand the music
that made you.

1807
02:04:22,819 --> 02:04:25,017
You mean for white people?

1808
02:04:25,052 --> 02:04:26,590
Well, I...

1809
02:04:27,692 --> 02:04:28,988
All right. Yes.

1810
02:04:31,223 --> 02:04:32,794
That's a great idea.

1811
02:04:34,127 --> 02:04:36,061
Okay. Well, good.
So, you're not gonna leave me?

1812
02:04:36,800 --> 02:04:38,503
We're not done yet.

1813
02:04:38,538 --> 02:04:41,770
Oh, boy. What?

1814
02:04:41,805 --> 02:04:44,003
I want to produce
the album, too.

1815
02:04:45,105 --> 02:04:46,005
Oh.

1816
02:04:50,275 --> 02:04:53,078
All right. Okay. Okay.

1817
02:05:02,628 --> 02:05:04,529
Hold! Hold!

1818
02:05:04,564 --> 02:05:06,795
You have to do something
with the longer notes.

1819
02:05:06,830 --> 02:05:09,259
You're not giving yourself
anywhere to go.

1820
02:05:09,294 --> 02:05:12,064
Start straight, then hit
the vibrato halfway through.

1821
02:05:12,099 --> 02:05:13,164
Tension
and release, y'all.

1822
02:05:14,233 --> 02:05:17,069
Yes, and this song
is a lot more, uh, deliberate.

1823
02:05:17,104 --> 02:05:18,675
-Mm.
- Yeah?

1824
02:05:19,843 --> 02:05:21,073
Take it from
where we left off.

1825
02:05:21,746 --> 02:05:23,174
"In the stillness."

1826
02:05:33,626 --> 02:05:35,692
Yeah, that's it.

1827
02:05:51,677 --> 02:05:55,712
-

1828
02:05:55,747 --> 02:05:58,847
-

1829
02:05:58,882 --> 02:06:01,586
-

1830
02:06:01,621 --> 02:06:02,752
Thank you!

1831
02:06:06,285 --> 02:06:10,595
-

1832
02:06:34,313 --> 02:06:39,118
Sweet precious memories

1833
02:07:04,343 --> 02:07:07,883
Oh, Lord

1834
02:07:16,091 --> 02:07:18,960
Okay, all right,
we're gonna take a ten.

1835
02:07:18,995 --> 02:07:21,226
Let's take ten. Let's, uh...

1836
02:07:30,776 --> 02:07:32,204
Are you all right?

1837
02:07:32,239 --> 02:07:35,273
I can't make a fool
out of myself.

1838
02:07:35,308 --> 02:07:37,242
There's gonna be
a film crew here.

1839
02:07:39,983 --> 02:07:42,687
And if I break down
like I did right now,

1840
02:07:42,722 --> 02:07:44,282
they gonna think
I lost my mind.

1841
02:07:44,317 --> 02:07:45,822
Ree...

1842
02:07:47,991 --> 02:07:51,091
Ree, the spirit is the spirit.

1843
02:07:51,126 --> 02:07:52,862
It moves when it moves.

1844
02:07:52,897 --> 02:07:55,194
What you want us to do?
Behave like Episcopalians?

1845
02:07:57,770 --> 02:07:59,198
Now what's really
bothering you?

1846
02:08:01,807 --> 02:08:03,675
You told me once

1847
02:08:05,140 --> 02:08:08,141
that music would save my life.

1848
02:08:09,408 --> 02:08:10,682
I did.

1849
02:08:11,146 --> 02:08:12,981
What if it doesn't?

1850
02:08:14,149 --> 02:08:16,248
The demon is strong.

1851
02:08:16,283 --> 02:08:18,756
Ain't no demon
hauntin' you, Ree.

1852
02:08:18,791 --> 02:08:20,021
There never was.

1853
02:08:21,224 --> 02:08:24,696
Just the pain you've been
runnin' from your whole life.

1854
02:08:26,766 --> 02:08:29,096
But you gotta let it go, Ree.

1855
02:08:30,902 --> 02:08:32,869
Give it to God.

1856
02:08:35,038 --> 02:08:36,103
It wasn't your fault.

1857
02:08:39,042 --> 02:08:40,976
And He knows that.

1858
02:08:44,377 --> 02:08:47,312
I don't know about tomorrow

1859
02:08:47,347 --> 02:08:51,250
or the concert or the album
or the documentary.

1860
02:08:52,319 --> 02:08:54,858
You in church right now.

1861
02:08:55,960 --> 02:08:57,795
You're safe.

1862
02:08:59,062 --> 02:09:00,963
So, Ree,

1863
02:09:01,801 --> 02:09:03,735
let's have church.

1864
02:09:53,149 --> 02:09:54,214
Daddy.

1865
02:09:57,120 --> 02:09:58,218
It's good to see you.

1866
02:10:00,288 --> 02:10:03,421
We were in California, and

1867
02:10:03,456 --> 02:10:05,456
we heard that you were
singing gospel, and...

1868
02:10:07,526 --> 02:10:09,295
Clara dragged me here.

1869
02:10:09,330 --> 02:10:11,836
Clara can't make
you do anything.

1870
02:10:11,871 --> 02:10:13,365
She's got pretty feisty
since you last saw her.

1871
02:10:14,566 --> 02:10:16,368
Glad you came.

1872
02:10:16,403 --> 02:10:18,040
That surprises me,

1873
02:10:18,075 --> 02:10:20,471
'cause we haven't been
getting on as of late.

1874
02:10:22,178 --> 02:10:24,849
You told me I wasn't
walking in the spirit.

1875
02:10:24,884 --> 02:10:25,817
I was angry.

1876
02:10:26,545 --> 02:10:28,380
You were with God.

1877
02:10:28,415 --> 02:10:29,986
You have always been with God.

1878
02:10:31,418 --> 02:10:33,858
He was with me.

1879
02:10:33,893 --> 02:10:36,355
I tried to run from Him,
but He brought me back.

1880
02:10:36,896 --> 02:10:38,126
Like Jonah.

1881
02:10:39,195 --> 02:10:40,425
Like Jonah.

1882
02:10:44,035 --> 02:10:46,365
You taught me every song
I'm singing today.

1883
02:10:51,075 --> 02:10:52,140
I did my best.

1884
02:10:54,914 --> 02:10:57,541
But you have exceeded
all of my expectations, Ree.

1885
02:10:59,116 --> 02:11:02,018
I'm about to bust wide open,

1886
02:11:02,053 --> 02:11:05,021
and you're just
getting started.

1887
02:11:05,056 --> 02:11:09,157
I can't imagine
what you're gonna do next.

1888
02:11:10,963 --> 02:11:12,424
Because you can
do anything, Ree.

1889
02:11:17,200 --> 02:11:19,167
First, give an honor to God

1890
02:11:19,202 --> 02:11:21,499
who's the head
of all our lives.

1891
02:11:21,534 --> 02:11:24,238
-Yes. Amen.
-

1892
02:11:24,273 --> 02:11:26,944
I'm sure you all have
noticed the cameras by now.

1893
02:11:28,211 --> 02:11:31,212
Don't get distracted by it.

1894
02:11:31,247 --> 02:11:32,642
We here to have church, right?

1895
02:11:32,677 --> 02:11:35,513
Amen.
- All right.

1896
02:11:35,548 --> 02:11:39,484
This is the first
religious recordin'

1897
02:11:39,519 --> 02:11:43,455
by our First Lady of Soul.

1898
02:11:43,490 --> 02:11:47,195
Give a warm round of applause
for Miss Aretha Franklin.

1899
02:12:23,398 --> 02:12:24,595
We love you.

1900
02:13:20,620 --> 02:13:27,658
-

1901
02:13:56,491 --> 02:14:00,460
The sound

1902
02:15:30,849 --> 02:15:33,256
- Amen. Amen.

1903
02:16:13,529 --> 02:16:17,894
of the storm

1904
02:16:34,649 --> 02:16:41,456
It was grace

1905
02:17:00,807 --> 02:17:04,413
Safe

1906
02:18:12,384 --> 02:18:18,388
on the morning rain

1907
02:18:18,423 --> 02:18:23,690
so uninspired

1908
02:18:26,024 --> 02:18:31,995
to face another day

1909
02:18:32,030 --> 02:18:37,572
so tired

1910
02:18:39,037 --> 02:18:45,646
life was so unkind

1911
02:18:45,681 --> 02:18:50,915
to my piece of mind

1912
02:18:50,950 --> 02:18:58,758
You make me feel

1913
02:18:58,793 --> 02:19:04,896
like a natural woman

1914
02:19:08,803 --> 02:19:14,609
was in the lost and found

1915
02:19:15,942 --> 02:19:19,911
came along to claim it

1916
02:19:23,114 --> 02:19:28,920
just what was wrong with me

1917
02:19:28,955 --> 02:19:33,595
helped me name it

1918
02:19:36,435 --> 02:19:42,802
of what I'm living for

1919
02:19:42,837 --> 02:19:48,676
I don't need to do more

1920
02:19:48,711 --> 02:19:55,617
You make me feel

1921
02:19:55,652 --> 02:20:02,624
like a natural woman

1922
02:20:05,761 --> 02:20:09,092
Oh, baby
What you done to me

1923
02:20:12,064 --> 02:20:19,476
so, so, so good inside

1924
02:20:19,511 --> 02:20:23,711
-

1925
02:20:23,746 --> 02:20:29,585
that makes me feel so alive

1926
02:20:32,755 --> 02:20:36,460
-

1927
02:20:36,495 --> 02:20:39,925
-

1928
02:20:39,960 --> 02:20:43,599
-

1929
02:20:43,634 --> 02:20:47,196
-

1930
02:20:49,805 --> 02:20:52,674
-

1931
02:20:52,709 --> 02:20:55,545
-

1932
02:20:59,980 --> 02:21:03,080
-

1933
02:21:03,115 --> 02:21:06,215
-

1934
02:21:06,250 --> 02:21:08,756
-

1935
02:21:11,827 --> 02:21:16,192
-

1936
02:21:16,227 --> 02:21:18,161
-

1937
02:21:18,196 --> 02:21:21,637
-

1938
02:21:40,757 --> 02:21:43,021
-

1939
02:22:07,718 --> 02:22:13,249
Too long

1940
02:23:08,647 --> 02:23:13,012
Sing my way

1941
02:23:32,132 --> 02:23:36,200
But unheard

1942
02:23:45,112 --> 02:23:49,345
they won't let you fly

1943
02:24:07,233 --> 02:24:09,937
in your hands
