13
00:00:20,145 --> 00:00:22,015

14
00:00:22,022 --> 00:00:23,862
Not The Who, not The Stones,

much since having the baby.

to start playing again.
21

ARETHA: King Curtis,
when you play,
22
00:00:36,203 --> 00:00:37,543
you're my second voice.
23
00:00:37,538 --> 00:00:39,328
KING CURTIS: Second
voice to Aretha Franklin,
24
00:00:39,331 --> 00:00:40,461
I'll take that.
25
00:00:40,457 --> 00:00:41,627

your power, don't you?
29
00:00:46,547 --> 00:00:48,007

my mother's daughter.

Miss you, Mommy.
31
00:00:49,216 --> 00:00:51,216
I want to go live
with Mommy in Buffalo.
32
00:00:51,218 --> 00:00:52,838
You're not being fair!
33
00:00:52,844 --> 00:00:54,434
She waited too long to
stand up for herself and
34
00:00:54,429 --> 00:00:55,849
it killed her.
35
00:00:55,847 --> 00:00:57,057
And I refuse to
let that be me.

ARETHA: How many more
am I going to have?
55
00:01:37,097 --> 00:01:39,517
KEN: Well, the doctor
says it's not uncommon,
56
00:01:39,516 --> 00:01:40,886
but you came here to
get well and that's what
57
00:01:40,892 --> 00:01:43,192
you're going to do,
just give it time.
58
00:01:44,396 --> 00:01:46,896
ARETHA: I keep, I keep dreaming
about my mother and I can't,
59
00:01:46,898 --> 00:01:48,148
I can't get to her.
60

I can't,
I can't see her face.
61
00:01:49,985 --> 00:01:52,985
It'll be 20 years this spring.
62
00:01:52,988 --> 00:01:56,278
And, well,
with King Curtis dying I,
63
00:01:56,283 --> 00:01:58,743
I feel like I lost my way.
64
00:02:01,997 --> 00:02:04,327
I have to find a way
to get back to myself.
65
00:02:04,791 --> 00:02:05,921
KEN: Now, listen.
66
00:02:05,917 --> 00:02:07,417
Don't, don't be so
hard on yourself, sugar.
67

Remember, you've been running
hard for a really long time.

You know your father
will be here soon unless

00:02:19,765 --> 00:02:21,845
you need me
to hold him off.
73

couple weeks and I know it

00:07:26,696 --> 00:07:28,566
but I will be.
175
00:07:29,658 --> 00:07:32,118
I knew it was you the
moment you walked in here.
176
00:07:32,118 --> 00:07:34,158
That scarf and them
glasses ain't fooling nobody.
177
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:36,500
You could come in here with
a paper bag over your head,
178
00:07:36,498 --> 00:07:37,708
I'd know it was you.
179
00:07:37,707 --> 00:07:39,077
ARETHA: I wasn't trying
to hide from you now.
180
00:07:39,084 --> 00:07:40,384
CLEVELAND: You know you
should have called me before
181
00:07:40,377 --> 00:07:41,877
you did that
Andy Williams Show.
182
00:07:41,878 --> 00:07:43,298
ARETHA: Now, why I need to
call you about Andy Williams?
183
00:07:43,296 --> 00:07:45,966
CLEVELAND: That terrible,
red feather duster thing.
184
00:07:46,424 --> 00:07:48,474
I mean I could have saved
you a whole mess of trouble.
185
00:07:49,010 --> 00:07:50,930
ARETHA: I stand by my
red feather duster.
186
00:07:50,929 --> 00:07:52,059
CLEVELAND: Well, all right.
187
00:07:52,055 --> 00:07:53,425
I ain't here to
argue with the Queen.
188
00:07:53,431 --> 00:07:55,311
I hear you're taking a break.
189
00:07:56,851 --> 00:07:58,521
You, you earn that vacation.
190
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,440
ARETHA: It's not
that kind of time off.
191
00:08:09,030 --> 00:08:10,910
CLEVELAND: Are you okay, Re?
192
00:08:10,907 --> 00:08:12,327
ARETHA: I will be.
193
00:08:12,325 --> 00:08:15,035
I feel like I,
I feel like I got lost.
194
00:08:15,870 --> 00:08:18,580
Maybe I, I got to
where I was going,
195
00:08:19,290 --> 00:08:20,750
and it was nowhere
I wanted to be.
196
00:08:20,750 --> 00:08:22,000
CLEVELAND: Well, you know,
197
00:08:22,001 --> 00:08:23,171
you always have a
home in the House of God.
198
00:08:23,169 --> 00:08:24,419
ARETHA: I know, I know.
199
00:08:24,421 --> 00:08:26,591
I, I want to record
a Gospel album.
200
00:08:27,424 --> 00:08:31,344
CLEVELAND: Back to your roots.
ARETHA: Not exactly.
201
00:08:31,344 --> 00:08:33,934
I want to record
it here with you,
202
00:08:34,389 --> 00:08:36,219
your choir, your church.
203
00:08:36,933 --> 00:08:38,563
CLEVELAND:
Not your daddy's church?
204
00:08:38,560 --> 00:08:40,310
ARETHA: No.
205
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:43,820
CLEVELAND: Does he
know about this yet?
206
00:08:43,815 --> 00:08:45,275
ARETHA: No.
207
00:08:45,275 --> 00:08:46,855
I want to find my own
way and I can't do that with
208
00:08:46,860 --> 00:08:48,530
my daddy around.
209
00:08:48,528 --> 00:08:51,028
He's part of the reason
I was pulled apart
210
00:08:51,031 --> 00:08:52,451
in the first place.
211
00:08:52,449 --> 00:08:55,369
CLEVELAND: I know.
I was there, I saw it.
212
00:08:57,245 --> 00:08:58,905
Well, you know he ain't
going to take this laying down.
213
00:08:58,913 --> 00:09:03,003
ARETHA: That's okay.
It's how it has to be.
214
00:09:03,334 --> 00:09:05,304
CLEVELAND: Okay.
215
00:09:05,295 --> 00:09:07,455
Let's do it,
let's make a Gospel album.
216
00:09:07,464 --> 00:09:08,514
Well, all right.
217
00:09:08,506 --> 00:09:09,916
ARETHA: Mm‐hmm.
218
00:09:09,924 --> 00:09:11,934
CLEVELAND: If you ready,
I'm ready.
219
00:09:11,926 --> 00:09:13,596
(school bell ringing).
220
00:09:14,512 --> 00:09:15,972
MRS. LOWREY: Everyone,
don't forget to do your
221
00:09:15,972 --> 00:09:17,312
reading for tomorrow.
222
00:09:17,307 --> 00:09:19,767
And I've graded some
of your essays.
223
00:09:19,768 --> 00:09:22,058
Do better next time, yes?
224
00:09:22,062 --> 00:09:23,102
See you tomorrow.
225
00:09:23,104 --> 00:09:24,944
STUDENT:
Thank you, Ms. Lowrey.
226
00:09:24,939 --> 00:09:27,859
MRS. LOWREY: Oh, Aretha.
Come here for a second.
227
00:09:27,859 --> 00:09:29,739
You did a beautiful
job on your essay.
228
00:09:30,028 --> 00:09:31,448
ARETHA:
Thank you, Mrs. Lowrey.
229
00:09:31,446 --> 00:09:33,066
MRS. LOWREY: I'm going to
show it to Mrs. Drake this
230
00:09:33,073 --> 00:09:34,533
afternoon and propose
that you be one of our
231
00:09:34,532 --> 00:09:36,202
ninth grade
graduation speakers.
232
00:09:36,201 --> 00:09:37,491
ARETHA:
Thank you, Mrs. Lowrey.
233
00:09:37,494 --> 00:09:39,334
MRS. LOWREY: You can
maybe start with a little
234
00:09:39,329 --> 00:09:40,409
welcome to everyone.
235
00:09:40,413 --> 00:09:41,413
ARETHA: Like this?
236
00:09:41,414 --> 00:09:43,044
(clears throat)
237
00:09:43,041 --> 00:09:44,581
Good afternoon
ladies and gentlemen.
238
00:09:44,584 --> 00:09:45,754
First of all,
239
00:09:45,752 --> 00:09:47,712
I'd like to congratulate
my fellow graduates.
240
00:09:47,712 --> 00:09:48,922
MRS. LOWREY: Exactly.
241
00:09:48,922 --> 00:09:50,882
You know, I used to
sing in the choir with
242
00:09:50,882 --> 00:09:52,382
your mother, Barbara.
243
00:09:52,383 --> 00:09:54,973
She was very smart,
just like you.
244
00:09:54,969 --> 00:09:58,219
She would be so proud of
the student that you've become.
245
00:09:58,932 --> 00:10:00,522
You'll be a natural
as one of our speakers.
246
00:10:00,517 --> 00:10:01,887
ARETHA:
Thank you, Mrs. Lowrey.
247
00:10:01,893 --> 00:10:03,693
Sorry, I've gotta run,
248
00:10:03,686 --> 00:10:05,476
I'm going to be late
for choir practice.
249
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,270

All right now, all right now.
272
00:10:46,646 --> 00:10:48,056
All right now, Re, this
is what I need you to do.
273
00:10:48,064 --> 00:10:50,154
I need you to come in
after the second bar, right,
274
00:10:50,150 --> 00:10:53,070
I need you to sing out loud
throughout the bridge, okay?
275
00:10:53,361 --> 00:10:55,491
CL: Reverend
Brother Cleveland, if, if,
276
00:10:55,488 --> 00:10:57,738
if my daughter
needs any instruction,
277
00:10:57,740 --> 00:10:59,240
she'll get it from me,
not from you.
278
00:10:59,242 --> 00:11:00,662
Understood?
279
00:11:00,660 --> 00:11:02,830
CLEVELAND: Yeah, I get it.
280
00:11:03,246 --> 00:11:04,656
Reverend Franklin,
I'm just trying to.
281
00:11:04,664 --> 00:11:06,924
CL: Aretha's voice is
a gift from the Lord.
282
00:11:06,916 --> 00:11:08,706
The less we do
with it, the better.
283
00:11:10,336 --> 00:11:11,836
CLARA: Now, if
you were wise CL,
284
00:11:11,838 --> 00:11:13,548
you'd remember the heavenly
source of Aretha's gift
285
00:11:13,548 --> 00:11:15,838
yourself from time to time.
286
00:11:15,842 --> 00:11:17,682
CL: Mm‐hmm.
CLARA: Mm‐hmm.
287
00:11:17,677 --> 00:11:19,137
CLEVELAND:
Let's go from the top.
288
00:11:19,596 --> 00:11:21,676
(clapping).
289
00:11:21,681 --> 00:11:23,641
JERRY: Pow! Pop!
290
00:11:23,933 --> 00:11:25,273
ARETHA: It's a
great idea, right?
291
00:11:25,268 --> 00:11:27,978
And, and James has
been kind enough to let us
292
00:11:27,979 --> 00:11:30,189
have his church.
293
00:11:30,190 --> 00:11:32,230
JERRY: Yeah, absolutely.
294
00:11:33,109 --> 00:11:35,489
ARETHA: So, what's that look?
295
00:11:35,486 --> 00:11:37,606
JERRY: Well, the acoustics
in here are not the best.
296
00:11:37,906 --> 00:11:39,656
ARETHA: I've been here
plenty of times and listen
297
00:11:39,657 --> 00:11:41,117
to the choir
without any problems.
298
00:11:41,117 --> 00:11:42,117
JERRY: Okay.
299
00:11:42,118 --> 00:11:43,908
Well, a bigger
issue is the size.
300
00:11:43,912 --> 00:11:46,582
I mean how many people can
fit in here; 30, 40, max?
301
00:11:46,581 --> 00:11:48,371
ARETHA: Well, James and I
were thinking of maybe doing
302
00:11:48,374 --> 00:11:49,504
this over two nights.
303
00:11:49,500 --> 00:11:51,090
JERRY: Okay, so
now we're up to 80.
304
00:11:51,085 --> 00:11:53,665
I mean I'm concerned
about the scope.
305
00:11:53,671 --> 00:11:55,591
I mean do you really want
to go from playing huge
306
00:11:55,590 --> 00:11:59,010
amphitheaters to recording a
bunch of old‐time Gospel songs
307
00:11:59,010 --> 00:12:01,220
in a place the size
of my living room?
308
00:12:01,221 --> 00:12:03,141
ARETHA: Old‐time?
309
00:12:03,139 --> 00:12:04,889
I'm going to be singing
popular songs and weaving it
310
00:12:04,891 --> 00:12:06,181
with Gospel music
in a way that you've
311
00:12:06,184 --> 00:12:07,444
never heard before.
312
00:12:07,435 --> 00:12:08,895
JERRY: I know, I know.
313
00:12:08,895 --> 00:12:11,515
I, I just don't want us to
be moving backwards is all.
314
00:12:11,814 --> 00:12:14,944
ARETHA: Well, maybe
sometimes you've got to
move backwards to move forwards.
315
00:12:15,777 --> 00:12:17,607
Listen, I even got
the cover on press.
316
00:12:17,612 --> 00:12:19,202
JERRY: Another one of Ken's?
ARETHA: Mm‐hmm.
317
00:12:19,197 --> 00:12:20,907
JERRY: People love what he did
for the cover of Greatest Hits.
318
00:12:20,907 --> 00:12:22,867
ARETHA: Check it out.
319
00:12:22,867 --> 00:12:25,407
JERRY: Oh.
That's great, that's beautiful.
320
00:12:25,411 --> 00:12:27,081
Okay.
321
00:12:27,497 --> 00:12:30,207
ARETHA: Listen, I, I know
that The Rolling Stones
322
00:12:30,208 --> 00:12:32,128
didn't get producer
credit on their album and
323
00:12:32,126 --> 00:12:33,706
I know that The Beatles
324
00:12:33,711 --> 00:12:36,671
didn't either but
that is not my concern.
325
00:12:36,673 --> 00:12:38,843
I'm going to
produce this album,
326
00:12:38,841 --> 00:12:41,261
it's the only way
it can happen.
327
00:12:42,220 --> 00:12:43,810
I can see it now, Jerry.
328
00:12:43,805 --> 00:12:47,305
It's beautiful and I'm going
to call it Amazing Grace.
329
00:12:50,019 --> 00:12:52,149
JERRY: Aretha...
330
00:12:55,566 --> 00:12:57,566
Then that's how we'll do it.
331
00:12:58,945 --> 00:13:00,775
ARETHA: Good, all right.
332
00:13:01,281 --> 00:13:03,451
JERRY: All right?
ARETHA: All right.
JERRY: All right.
333
00:13:03,825 --> 00:13:05,365

00:15:06,531 --> 00:15:08,201
Thank you.

398
00:15:11,661 --> 00:15:14,291
That's great.
Really, really good.
399
00:15:14,288 --> 00:15:15,828
I think we need
a bigger church.
400
00:15:17,166 --> 00:15:19,496
I'm just a little
concerned about the impact.
401
00:15:19,502 --> 00:15:22,002
I want you to check out
New Zion in Pasadena.
402
00:15:22,630 --> 00:15:24,510
Big, beautiful church,
seats about 1,000.
403

ARETHA: Tell me what
you're thinking.

JERRY: Okay, ready for this?
405
00:15:28,386 --> 00:15:30,466
I think we should make a
documentary of the show.
406
00:15:31,180 --> 00:15:33,470
It's going to be epic,
why not film it?
407
00:15:33,474 --> 00:15:34,774
The Rolling Stones did it,
408
00:15:34,767 --> 00:15:36,597
James Brown, Elvis Presley.
409
00:15:36,602 --> 00:15:38,652
You want to make inroads

this'll put you on the map.

what I had in mind.
412

CLEVELAND: Yeah,
she really wants to have
413
00:15:42,567 --> 00:15:44,027
a church service.
414
00:15:44,026 --> 00:15:45,896
JERRY: It's still going to be,
just bigger and better.
415
00:15:45,903 --> 00:15:49,073
And, and, and this way think
about how many more people you
416
00:15:49,073 --> 00:15:50,743
can take to church.
417
00:15:50,741 --> 00:15:52,291
Impact.
418
00:15:54,203 --> 00:15:56,373
CLEVELAND: It's about
what you want, Re.

422
00:16:04,130 --> 00:16:05,630
I want to do it
in the community.
423
00:16:05,631 --> 00:16:07,931

we do it in Watts?
424

New Temple Missionary.

Great news.
483
00:19:27,917 --> 00:19:30,337
Joe Boyd at Warner Brothers
got Sydney Pollack

JERRY: He's a big director.
487
00:19:33,673 --> 00:19:35,263
He's shooting Streisand
and Redford's next movie,
488
00:19:35,257 --> 00:19:36,677
nominated for an
Oscar two years ago.
489

492
00:19:42,473 --> 00:19:44,933
Your father
called me; he's upset.
493
00:19:46,477 --> 00:19:49,147
Wants us to record the
album at New Bethel.
494
00:19:49,146 --> 00:19:50,686
ARETHA: No.
495
00:19:51,107 --> 00:19:52,397
JERRY: I know
it's a big pivot,
496
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,440
but I don't think
it's a bad idea.
497
00:19:54,443 --> 00:19:55,863
CLEVELAND: She said no.
498
00:19:55,861 --> 00:19:57,071
ARETHA: That's probably
why my sister called and now
499
00:19:57,071 --> 00:19:58,741
he calls you.
500
00:19:58,739 --> 00:20:00,319
JERRY: Look, I don't know
what's going on between you
501
00:20:00,324 --> 00:20:01,664
and your father, Aretha.
502
00:20:01,659 --> 00:20:05,539
But as your producing
partner I have to tell you
503
00:20:05,538 --> 00:20:08,418
that recording this at
New Bethel is a good idea.
504
00:20:09,166 --> 00:20:11,496
Okay, from a marketing
perspective it's a home run.
505
00:20:11,502 --> 00:20:12,962
The acoustics are fantastic.
506
00:20:12,962 --> 00:20:15,762

I know what the acoustics are

with her class.
913
00:41:56,681 --> 00:41:58,601
But Mrs. Lowrey, can you
tell me how she's going to
914
00:41:58,599 --> 00:42:01,309
keep up with her schooling,
study for her tests,
915
00:42:01,310 --> 00:42:03,150
and take care of one
baby at home and another
916
00:42:03,146 --> 00:42:04,766
one on the way?
917
00:42:04,772 --> 00:42:07,402
And, you know, she's,
she's singing in my choir, too.
918
00:42:08,484 --> 00:42:10,904
MRS. LOWREY:
Mr. Franklin, all due respect,
919
00:42:10,903 --> 00:42:13,823
Aretha is so much
more than just a singer.
920
00:42:14,115 --> 00:42:15,945
She is a gifted student.
921
00:42:15,950 --> 00:42:19,120
CL: More than a singer?
922
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:21,460
Mrs. Lowrey, have
you seen Aretha sing?
923
00:42:21,456 --> 00:42:22,706
MRS. LOWREY: Of course.
924
00:42:22,707 --> 00:42:25,747
I just, it is so
important for our
925
00:42:25,752 --> 00:42:27,342
young women
to stay in school.
926
00:42:27,336 --> 00:42:29,256
It is their path
to self‐reliance.
927
00:42:29,255 --> 00:42:31,915
CL: In my humble opinion,
928
00:42:31,924 --> 00:42:34,594
self‐reliance is
an overrated notion.
929
00:42:35,219 --> 00:42:38,469
We must rely on our
God for our guidance.
930
00:42:38,765 --> 00:42:40,345
MRS. LOWREY: Indeed.
931
00:42:40,349 --> 00:42:42,939
But I believe the
Lord smiles on learning.
932
00:42:43,811 --> 00:42:46,731
"Study to show thyself
approved unto God.
933
00:42:47,356 --> 00:42:50,526
A workman that needeth
not to be ashamed."
934
00:42:50,526 --> 00:42:52,146
Timothy 2:15.
935
00:42:52,153 --> 00:42:54,863
Now, I've made a list
of all the work that Aretha
936
00:42:54,864 --> 00:42:57,204
needs to complete
for graduation.
937
00:42:57,200 --> 00:42:59,080
And I would be more
than happy to spend as much
938
00:42:59,077 --> 00:43:01,157
extra time with
her as she needs.
939
00:43:01,162 --> 00:43:03,662
Please, she has
so much potential.
940
00:43:04,373 --> 00:43:09,003
CL: We gonna see what
God is going to do and then
941
00:43:09,003 --> 00:43:10,383
we'll get back to you.
942
00:43:10,922 --> 00:43:13,132
Okay.
943

Let me see that.
944
00:43:19,847 --> 00:43:22,637
No, I don't think
this is going to work.
945
00:43:23,559 --> 00:43:24,809
It's okay, baby.
946
00:43:24,811 --> 00:43:26,601
I have something else for you.
947
00:43:26,854 --> 00:43:27,864

00:43:27,855 --> 00:43:29,265

better things waiting for you!

that Reverend Cleveland picked
952
00:43:41,327 --> 00:43:44,327
a bad time for
me to make a talk.
953
00:43:46,374 --> 00:43:51,634
Behind all the spirit
and enthusiasm that Aretha
954
00:43:51,629 --> 00:43:53,669
has engendered here tonight.
955
00:43:54,132 --> 00:43:56,052

958

gift of her voice.
959
00:44:06,811 --> 00:44:11,111
But I couldn't help but
remember the first time
960
00:44:11,107 --> 00:44:15,277
I took her with me on
the road to sing Gospel.
961
00:44:17,530 --> 00:44:21,910
You all were crying,
you all were moved,
962
00:44:24,036 --> 00:44:29,126
but as her father I was
about to bust wide open.
963
00:44:30,418 --> 00:44:32,168

because Aretha is my daughter.

I wouldn't be all right upstair
if I didn't appreciate that.
967
00:44:45,516 --> 00:44:50,856

that Aretha is not only

just my daughter,
969
