We talked about a slot for
Aretha Franklin, you remember?
344
00:16:12,180 --> 00:16:13,390
Yeah.
345
00:16:13,389 --> 00:16:15,639
She's more than ready,
what have you got open?
346
00:16:17,602 --> 00:16:19,902
Yes, that'll work.
347
00:16:19,896 --> 00:16:21,436
No, let's book it.
348
00:16:21,439 --> 00:16:24,319
Oh, she's going to be
a great draw for you guys.
349
00:16:24,859 --> 00:16:27,149
Thanks. Yeah, you too.
350

appearance, booked.
351

ARETHA: Thank you, Mr. Hammond.
352
00:16:35,870 --> 00:16:39,290
MR. HAMMOND: Now,
about your next album.
353
00:16:40,583 --> 00:16:46,013
(orchestral jazz)
354
00:16:54,472 --> 00:16:56,972
ARETHA: It sounds a lot
like my last record.
355
00:16:56,974 --> 00:16:58,394
All jazz.
356
00:16:58,392 --> 00:17:00,942
MR. HAMMOND: You have an
orchestra inside of you and
357
00:17:00,937 --> 00:17:04,357
we want to compliment that
to surround you with sound.
358
00:17:04,357 --> 00:17:05,437
ARETHA: I want more than that.
359
00:17:05,441 --> 00:17:06,611
TED: Look at Elvis.
360
00:17:06,609 --> 00:17:09,279
He's got gospel hits
and rockabilly hits.
361
00:17:09,278 --> 00:17:10,858
I mean Aretha's
as good as Elvis.
362
00:17:10,863 --> 00:17:12,573
Hell, she's better.
363
00:17:12,573 --> 00:17:14,873
ARETHA: I can't be a
throwback, times are changing.
364
00:17:14,867 --> 00:17:17,787
MR. HAMMOND: Sounds like
you want to keep trying
a little bit of everything.
365
00:17:17,787 --> 00:17:21,077
I mean the last time it
was tender, moving, swinging.
366
00:17:21,082 --> 00:17:24,002
TED: Why can't she try different
things to see what sticks?
367
00:17:24,001 --> 00:17:26,091
MR. HAMMOND: Because
nothing seems to stick.
368
00:17:26,087 --> 00:17:27,377
ARETHA: It didn't
chart the way we hoped.
369
00:17:27,380 --> 00:17:28,970
MR. HAMMOND: Because
you're all over the place.
370
00:17:28,965 --> 00:17:31,295
You gotta let me establish
you in a particular vein.
371
00:17:31,300 --> 00:17:33,390
You are a jazz singer.
372
00:17:33,386 --> 00:17:37,676
ARETHA: Mr. Hammond, there's
got to be more for me than
just another jazz record.
373
00:17:37,682 --> 00:17:39,432
What about Sam Cooke?
374
00:17:39,433 --> 00:17:40,813
He brings down the house.
375
00:17:40,810 --> 00:17:42,560
His music is for the
lovers and the fighters.
376
00:17:42,562 --> 00:17:43,732
He can sing anything.
377
00:17:43,729 --> 00:17:46,519
I can do that; I know I can.
378
00:17:46,524 --> 00:17:49,154
How about I give you
my version of Foggy Day?
379
00:17:49,151 --> 00:17:50,991
MR. HAMMOND: It sounds
to me like you want
to be Judy Garland.
380
00:17:50,987 --> 00:17:54,947
ARETHA: No. But why not?
Come on, Mr. Hammond.
381
00:17:54,949 --> 00:17:57,739
You and I both know that I'm
going places and so I deserve
382
00:17:57,743 --> 00:17:59,543
to be compared to the best.
383
00:17:59,537 --> 00:18:02,497
I want gold records
and I need songs that I,
384
00:18:02,498 --> 00:18:04,328
I can make a killing with.
385
00:18:04,333 --> 00:18:06,213
MR. HAMMOND: You want a hit
record and I know a thing or
386
00:18:06,210 --> 00:18:07,840
two about what works.
387
00:18:07,837 --> 00:18:10,757
ARETHA: I want
to be on that wall.
388
00:18:14,343 --> 00:18:19,473
MR. HAMMOND: Okay. Okay. Fine.
389
00:18:19,849 --> 00:18:23,309
If you want
to be Judy Garland,
let's try it.
390
00:18:23,311 --> 00:18:25,941
And if we
can't sell records,
391

back to recording gospel.

Thing Comes Along
511
00:24:27,883 --> 00:24:30,843
the seductive new
single from jazz vocalist
Miss Aretha Franklin
512
00:24:31,512 --> 00:24:33,102
who is live with
us in the studio.
513
00:24:33,097 --> 00:24:34,467
ARETHA: Well, thank
you so much, Uncle Terry.
514
00:24:34,473 --> 00:24:35,933
It's a pleasure to be here.
515
00:24:35,933 --> 00:24:37,813
UNCLE TERRY: Ms. Franklin,
why don't you help our listeners
516
00:24:37,810 --> 00:24:39,230
get to know you a bit.
517
00:24:39,228 --> 00:24:41,858
What was life like before
you came to the Big Apple?
518
00:24:41,855 --> 00:24:43,895
ARETHA: Well, I grew up
singing on the Gospel Circuit
519
00:24:43,899 --> 00:24:45,279
all over the south.
520
00:24:45,275 --> 00:24:47,565
My daddy was a
preacher and my biggest hero.
521
00:24:47,569 --> 00:24:49,569
UNCLE TERRY: That's a lot
of traveling for a little girl.
522
00:24:49,571 --> 00:24:51,121
ARETHA: Well, I
think it was a blessing.
523
00:24:51,115 --> 00:24:53,445
I got the chance to sing to a
lot of different folk and I got
524
00:24:53,450 --> 00:24:56,950
the opportunity to practice
being on stage which is a lot
525
00:24:56,954 --> 00:24:58,374
harder than it looks.
526
00:24:58,372 --> 00:25:00,042
It was a great
way to cut my teeth.
527
00:25:00,416 --> 00:25:01,956
UNCLE TERRY: What
have you got coming up?
528
00:25:01,959 --> 00:25:03,709
ARETHA: Next Friday, I, I'm
going to be doing the midnight
529
00:25:03,711 --> 00:25:05,251
gig at the Hudson Gate.
530
00:25:05,254 --> 00:25:07,724
UNCLE TERRY: Following
in the footsteps of Lena Horne
531
00:25:07,715 --> 00:25:09,165
and Billie Holiday.
532
00:25:09,174 --> 00:25:10,844
ARETHA: It does feel very
special to be singing on the
533
00:25:10,843 --> 00:25:12,263
stage where they started out.
534
00:25:12,261 --> 00:25:13,641
I'm really excited about it.
535
00:25:13,637 --> 00:25:16,137
UNCLE TERRY: Now, I've
heard a secret about you.
536
00:25:16,140 --> 00:25:17,980
You've booked
your next TV gig.
537
00:25:17,975 --> 00:25:20,015
ARETHA: Well,
yes, that's right.
538
00:25:20,019 --> 00:25:22,599
I'm going to be on
The Steve Allen Show.
539
00:25:22,604 --> 00:25:24,574
UNCLE TERRY: And a little
birdy told me your new album
540
00:25:24,565 --> 00:25:26,605
is going to be a
little bit of everything,
541
00:25:26,608 --> 00:25:28,398
some show tunes, some jazz.
542
00:25:28,402 --> 00:25:32,282
Have you decided which version
of Aretha gets to sing on TV?
543
00:25:33,699 --> 00:25:36,159
ARETHA: Well, there's
only one Aretha and
544
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,870
she gets to
sing what she wants.
545
00:25:46,420 --> 00:25:49,420
(waltz)
546
00:25:50,549 --> 00:25:52,969
INSTRUCTOR: Now, the waltz is
the first step that's going to

00:25:52,968 --> 00:25:56,468

548
00:25:57,681 --> 00:26:00,311
Let's take it from the top.

It's okay, stay with me.

556
00:26:17,951 --> 00:26:20,791
ARETHA: This dress that
we shot this in, I, I love.
557
00:26:21,330 --> 00:26:23,750
I thought I would need to
get something off the rack but
558
00:26:23,749 --> 00:26:25,879
then I decided I had to
have something custom made.
559

if you're going to go out there,

ain't really paid off yet.

But it will, yeah.

needs to be and until then we

00:26:47,815 --> 00:26:49,725
going to look good,
we going to feel good.
570
00:26:49,733 --> 00:26:50,653
CAROLYN: Yes, we are.
571
00:26:50,651 --> 00:26:52,781
ARETHA: Yes.
572
00:26:52,778 --> 00:26:56,948
CAROLYN: Oh, Re, you know,
sometimes I look at you, girl,
573
00:26:57,324 --> 00:26:59,834
you are recording for Columbia.
574
00:26:59,827 --> 00:27:02,957
And it's like do
I even have a chance?
575
00:27:02,955 --> 00:27:04,955
ARETHA: Sometimes I look at
you and you're recording at Epic
576
00:27:04,957 --> 00:27:09,457
and I think the same thing.
577
00:27:10,129 --> 00:27:13,799
CAROLYN: All right,
Re, you've got that
TV gig coming up, right?
578
00:27:15,050 --> 00:27:18,600
So, how about you come home
to prepare and then you could
help Daddy with the march.
579
00:27:18,887 --> 00:27:20,507
ARETHA: I'm not
coming to the march.
580

I, I got to work and I'm
trying to set myself up here.
583

Reverend CL Franklin...
681
00:34:09,297 --> 00:34:11,127
CAROLYN: Girl, you still
got rollers in your hair?
682
00:34:11,132 --> 00:34:13,552
Daddy's got 1,000
people at the house getting
ready for the march.
683
00:34:13,551 --> 00:34:14,761
Get dressed.
684
00:34:14,761 --> 00:34:15,761
Cecil's going to pick
us up from the airport.
685
00:34:15,762 --> 00:34:17,142
ARETHA: I told
you I'm not going.
686
00:34:17,138 --> 00:34:18,098
There's going to be
plenty of people at the march.
687
00:34:18,098 --> 00:34:19,678
Daddy won't even
notice I'm gone.
688
00:34:19,683 --> 00:34:21,693
CAROLYN: Oh,
of course he will.
689
00:34:21,685 --> 00:34:24,095
And he'll miss his
favorite daughter.
690
00:34:24,104 --> 00:34:26,194
ARETHA: Daddy stopped
sending money so I'm
twisting in the wind.
691
00:34:30,527 --> 00:34:31,947
CAROLYN: Oh, girl, you
ain't twisting in the wind.
692
00:34:31,945 --> 00:34:34,355
You got Ted.
693
00:34:34,364 --> 00:34:37,334
ARETHA: Daddy can have
his march without me.
694
00:34:43,498 --> 00:34:45,418
CAROLYN: Don't cut him off.
695
00:34:45,417 --> 00:34:49,667
This is an important event not
just for him but for all of us.
696
00:34:49,671 --> 00:34:51,841
And he's your father.
697
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:55,050
ARETHA: Daddy cut
me off because I didn't
want him to run my life.
698
00:34:55,051 --> 00:34:56,471
CAROLYN: Girl, come
on and get dressed.
699
00:34:56,469 --> 00:34:58,309
ARETHA: I'm not going!
CAROLYN: Re, get dressed!

ARETHA: All right, okay.
701
00:34:59,806 --> 00:35:03,516
You know what you need to leave
before you miss your flight.
702
00:35:07,272 --> 00:35:10,612
Go on now.
I'm staying right here.

TED: I told the stage manager
he need to turn down the AC.
712
00:35:36,092 --> 00:35:37,842
I know you don't like
it too cold when you sing.
713
00:35:37,844 --> 00:35:39,264
You nervous?
714
00:35:39,262 --> 00:35:42,182

Is my daddy out there?

ARETHA: My daddy showing up even
though I didn't go to his march,
722
00:36:00,784 --> 00:36:01,994
you think he's still mad at me?
723

TED: Look, you are
going to be great.

729
00:36:14,881 --> 00:36:17,011
MR. HAMMOND: I'm
treating your daughter well.
730
00:36:17,008 --> 00:36:19,388
I hope there are
no hard feelings.
731
00:36:19,386 --> 00:36:21,216
CL: Water under the bridge.
732
00:36:22,055 --> 00:36:26,265
I appreciate she's still
under contract at Columbia.

young singers in

740
00:36:41,700 --> 00:36:43,490

her monthly and I feel a bump.
768
00:38:43,530 --> 00:38:46,280
Son.
769
00:38:57,585 --> 00:39:00,875

her to stay home.
772
00:39:07,804 --> 00:39:09,474
You insisted.
773
00:39:09,472 --> 00:39:12,352
She's too young
to be out there.
774
00:39:12,350 --> 00:39:16,480
All these children
are living without a mother
775
00:39:16,813 --> 00:39:20,363
and the first time that I
let that precious child out of
776
00:39:20,358 --> 00:39:22,568
my sight this happens?
777
00:39:23,695 --> 00:39:26,315
You weren't watching her.
778
00:39:26,322 --> 00:39:29,412
You let her fall
pray to God knows what.

CL: I did keep my eye on
her, Momma, as best I could.

boy who did this must

chase after worldly justice or

MR. HAMMOND: Well,
she sings what she wants.

One minute insisting

she is doing a jazz number.

I can't reason with her.

796
00:41:32,991 --> 00:41:35,831

CL: No, baby.
801
00:41:45,878 --> 00:41:49,878
And this is not going
to stop you from singing
802
00:41:49,882 --> 00:41:51,842
or from going to school.
803
00:41:51,843 --> 00:41:54,853
Isn't that right, Momma?
804
00:41:54,846 --> 00:41:57,766
BIG MOMMA: We're all
going to pitch in,
805
00:41:57,765 --> 00:42:01,515
and this baby will
be the family's baby.
806
00:42:02,020 --> 00:42:03,560
CL: That's right.
807
00:42:03,563 --> 00:42:08,613
This is not going to stop you
from what you were meant to do.
808
00:42:12,071 --> 00:42:15,491
Meant to do.
809
00:42:25,793 --> 00:42:28,503
MR. HAMMOND: That was
a wonderful performance.
810
00:42:28,504 --> 00:42:29,594
I wish I could stay.
811
00:42:29,589 --> 00:42:30,839
ARETHA: I think
I sang really well.
812
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:32,840
MR. HAMMOND:
You always sing well.
813
00:42:32,842 --> 00:42:35,262
But we haven't
found it yet, have we?
814
00:42:35,261 --> 00:42:36,641
ARETHA: Not from
lack of trying.
815
00:42:36,637 --> 00:42:38,597
MR. HAMMOND: So, let's
get you back into the studio
816
00:42:38,598 --> 00:42:40,218
and put our heads together.
817
00:42:40,224 --> 00:42:41,684
TED: Hammond.
MR. HAMMOND: Ted.
818
00:42:41,684 --> 00:42:44,524
Listen, I, I wish I could
linger but I have another event.
819
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:45,400
Congratulations.
820
00:42:45,396 --> 00:42:47,766
ARETHA: Glad you could make it.
821
00:42:49,692 --> 00:42:52,402
TED: On your birthday
last year, you remember
what you wished for?
822
00:42:53,529 --> 00:42:55,529
ARETHA: Have you
seen my father?
823
00:42:55,531 --> 00:42:57,371
TED: You said you wanted
to be on The Steve Allen Show
824
00:42:57,366 --> 00:42:59,076
and what did I say to you?
825
00:42:59,077 --> 00:43:01,537
I said I was going to
make your dreams come true.
826
00:43:01,537 --> 00:43:03,037
And now look at where we are.
827
00:43:03,039 --> 00:43:04,919
ARETHA: He made it all this
way, stayed for the show,
828
00:43:04,916 --> 00:43:06,996
and didn't stay for the party
which means he was either still
829
00:43:07,001 --> 00:43:09,171
mad at me or he thought
my performance was bad.
830
00:43:09,170 --> 00:43:10,340
Was it?
831
00:43:10,338 --> 00:43:12,628
TED: No, baby, baby,
baby, baby, no, come on.
832
00:43:13,299 --> 00:43:15,009
ARETHA: Mr. Wexler?
833
00:43:16,677 --> 00:43:18,177
JERRY: I'm a big fan, Aretha.
834
00:43:18,179 --> 00:43:19,389
ARETHA: Ms. Franklin.
835
00:43:19,388 --> 00:43:21,808
JERRY: Excuse me, Ms. Franklin.
836
00:43:21,808 --> 00:43:24,808
You know I've
launched a few careers,
837
00:43:24,811 --> 00:43:26,481
Atlantic Records and me.
838
00:43:26,479 --> 00:43:28,649
We roll up our
sleeves and we dig deep.
839
00:43:28,648 --> 00:43:31,028
TED: This contract
with Columbia is almost up.
840
00:43:31,025 --> 00:43:33,485
What she does after
that, that's her call.
841
00:43:33,778 --> 00:43:35,318
JERRY:
Columbia's had a good run.
842
00:43:35,321 --> 00:43:37,571
But music is changing,
you've got to stay ahead of it
843
00:43:37,573 --> 00:43:39,453
or you're going
to get left behind.
844
00:43:39,450 --> 00:43:41,120
Can I be honest?
845
00:43:41,119 --> 00:43:42,949
ARETHA: Yeah, please.
846
00:43:42,954 --> 00:43:46,714
JERRY: Tonight, I wanted
to be wowed but I wasn't.
847
00:43:47,125 --> 00:43:48,575
And I don't think

ARETHA: I want to
make hits, Mr. Wexler.
859
00:44:12,733 --> 00:44:15,033

Aretha Franklin
and nobody else.
