191
00:09:20,460 --> 00:09:22,459
it's more about the
money than the artist.

So, I'm out.

I'm, I'm leaving the

GLYNN: Oh, well, look. It's really easy.
345
00:16:32,100 --> 00:16:34,019
All you have to do is turn away from me,
346
00:16:34,020 --> 00:16:35,849
fall back into my arms.
347
00:16:35,850 --> 00:16:38,019
But you have to
trust that I'll catch you.
348
00:16:38,020 --> 00:16:39,649
ARETHA: With all due
respect, Mr. Glynn Turman,
349
00:16:39,650 --> 00:16:40,859
I don't think so.
350
00:16:40,860 --> 00:16:42,399
GLYNN: Come on, I got you. I promise.
351
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,399
You see as actors and artists
we have to keep ourselves open
352
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,970
and vulnerable because trust is
the most important thing we have.
353
00:16:49,410 --> 00:16:52,850
ARETHA: You are going to have a lot of
lawyers on your case if you let me fall.
354
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:54,829
GLYNN: Well, you know
what, I trust you on that.
355
00:16:54,830 --> 00:16:56,249
So, I won't let you fall.
356
00:16:56,250 --> 00:16:58,039
Let's try it.
357
00:16:58,040 --> 00:16:59,390
- ARETHA: Okay.
- GLYNN: Yeah?
358
00:16:59,710 --> 00:17:01,629
- ARETHA: All right.
- GLYNN: You ready?
359
00:17:01,630 --> 00:17:03,520
- ARETHA: Mm-hmm.
- GLYNN: One.
360
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:04,969
- ARETHA: Mm-hmm.

361
00:17:04,970 --> 00:17:06,610

362
00:17:07,220 --> 00:17:10,110
- ARETHA: No.
- GLYNN: Okay.
363
00:17:10,430 --> 00:17:11,759
Let's try it one more time.
364
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:12,889
It's okay.
365
00:17:12,890 --> 00:17:14,559
I'm right here, partner in crime.
366
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:15,599
(LAUGHING).
367
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:16,979
- GLYNN: You ready?
- ARETHA: Mm-hmm.
368
00:17:16,980 --> 00:17:18,649
GLYNN: One, two, three.
369
00:17:18,650 --> 00:17:21,859
(LAUGHING).
370
00:17:21,860 --> 00:17:22,860
GLYNN: It's okay.
371
00:17:22,861 --> 00:17:24,359
ARETHA: I wasn't ready, it's my fault.
372
00:17:24,360 --> 00:17:26,609
GLYNN: No, no, it's okay. Listen...
373
00:17:26,610 --> 00:17:28,529
It's okay to be afraid, okay?
374
00:17:28,530 --> 00:17:29,949
- ARETHA: Mm-hmm.
- GLYNN: All right.
375
00:17:29,950 --> 00:17:31,239
- ARETHA: Okay.
- GLYNN: Let's try it again.
376
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:32,619
Let's count together.
377
00:17:32,620 --> 00:17:33,829
ARETHA: Okay, all right.
378
00:17:33,830 --> 00:17:35,079
- GLYNN: And a one.
- ARETHA: One.
379
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:36,789
- GLYNN: Two.
- ARETHA: Two.
380
00:17:36,790 --> 00:17:39,459
- GLYNN: Three.
- ARETHA: Three.
381
00:17:39,460 --> 00:17:40,879
- GLYNN: How was that?
- ARETHA: Mm-hmm.
382
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:47,070
(LAUGHING).
383
00:17:49,220 --> 00:17:51,219
GLYNN: Of course.
384
00:17:51,220 --> 00:17:52,981
ARETHA: Bessie was a
woman who's surrounded
385
00:17:53,005 --> 00:17:54,429
by men who are calling the shots.
386
00:17:54,430 --> 00:17:56,429
I can relate to that.
387
00:17:56,430 --> 00:17:58,939
GLYNN: You'd be perfect for the part.
388
00:17:58,940 --> 00:18:01,189
ARETHA: Thank you
for helping me prepare.
389
00:18:01,190 --> 00:18:03,580
GLYNN: It's my pleasure, really.
390
00:18:08,360 --> 00:18:10,460
Let's give it another go.
391
00:18:11,030 --> 00:18:13,090
ARETHA: Okay.
392
00:18:13,660 --> 00:18:16,800
"I'm not looking for
a husband, you heard me.
393
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,220
I'm still young and
I ain't done running around."
394
00:18:20,670 --> 00:18:22,129
GLYNN: It's good.
395
00:18:22,130 --> 00:18:25,419
But remember when Bessie
is talking to those folks she
396
00:18:25,420 --> 00:18:28,940
is fierce but she's also fragile, right.
397
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,929
ARETHA: But she's hiding
it because she's tough.
398
00:18:31,930 --> 00:18:35,200
GLYNN: True. But things
didn't always go her way.
399
00:18:36,010 --> 00:18:38,809
And sometimes she even made mistakes.
400
00:18:38,810 --> 00:18:41,649
You see, you've got to
play all of her angles,
401
00:18:41,650 --> 00:18:44,460
keep your heart open
like you do when you sing.
402
00:18:45,690 --> 00:18:47,569
ARETHA: You think they're
going to pick me for this part?
403
00:18:47,570 --> 00:18:50,319
GLYNN: They better or they're
going to be hearing from me.
404

405

Glynn is a, a good coach.

He is a movie star who
loves to share the craft.
411

And if I'm going to be a real
actress, I need a real mentor.

You making a new album?

ARETHA: Oh, well, I was hoping to have
a few film projects in the works but...

MAYFIELD (OVER PHONE): Yeah,
I saw you were auditioning.

ARETHA: Let's just say that
nothings quite come together yet.
455
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,109
MAYFIELD: Well, this project
there's no doubt that the
456
00:20:55,110 --> 00:20:57,510
Queen of Soul would make
for a very welcome addition.
457
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,079
ARETHA: And I'm looking
for a new producer so this
458
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,619
might give me an
opportunity to try you out.

you didn't get the Bessie Smith role.

"Sparkle" needs some real sparkle.

Carolyn for the project.

I was busy working on my new album.

Carolyn but, yes, I know.

Where's your family?
683
00:31:58,690 --> 00:32:01,590
ARETHA: I told them
they didn't have to stay.
684
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:05,949
GLYNN: Well, you know,
I'm proud to be with you,
685
00:32:05,950 --> 00:32:08,550
even if I'm just your
official shoulder to cry on.
686
00:32:09,830 --> 00:32:12,619
ARETHA: Everything I did to get this,
687
00:32:12,620 --> 00:32:16,060
I lost to some folks who can't
even sing nearly as good as me.
688
00:32:17,130 --> 00:32:19,209
I mean they look good; I give them that.
689
00:32:19,210 --> 00:32:22,230
But they don't have anything else.
690
00:32:23,970 --> 00:32:26,549
My label doesn't support
me because if they did I,
691
00:32:26,550 --> 00:32:27,990
I would have won.
692
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,679
And...
693
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:33,580
GLYNN: What?
694
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:38,729
ARETHA: All that work.
695
00:32:38,730 --> 00:32:40,729
I worked like a dog and for what?
696
00:32:40,730 --> 00:32:42,790
Nothing.
697
00:32:43,150 --> 00:32:44,449
All they do is take me for granted.
698
00:32:44,450 --> 00:32:49,590
GLYNN: Listen, you're beautiful.
You know that?
699
00:32:49,740 --> 00:32:52,640
Your songs are beautiful.
700
00:32:52,910 --> 00:32:56,520
Yeah, some shit went down tonight but
don't let that make you doubt yourself.
701
00:32:57,710 --> 00:33:00,560
ARETHA: Jerry left Atlantic
and I still have two years left.
702
00:33:01,670 --> 00:33:04,469
I don't think I have
anything else to give.
703
00:33:04,470 --> 00:33:06,360
I'm done.
704
00:33:08,050 --> 00:33:10,150
GLYNN: I hear you.
705
00:33:10,300 --> 00:33:12,309
And, you know, I can't count
how many times this showbiz
706
00:33:12,310 --> 00:33:15,030
thing has knocked me
down and counted me out.
707
00:33:16,350 --> 00:33:21,920
But then I get up, I go
for another round, and I win.
708
00:33:23,230 --> 00:33:25,319
ARETHA: Yeah.
709
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:29,050
You know, I heard someone say
that Aretha Franklin is a has been.
710
00:33:29,570 --> 00:33:31,159
GLYNN: No, no, no they didn't.
711
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:32,789
You tell me who said that and
I'm going to go talk to them.
712
00:33:32,790 --> 00:33:34,829
No, I'm just going to have some
words with them, talk to them.
713
00:33:34,830 --> 00:33:37,079
ARETHA: Come on, stop it, come on.
714
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:39,419
GLYNN: You see, there's your smile.
715
00:33:39,420 --> 00:33:42,339
You see, the world is full of naysayers.
716
00:33:42,340 --> 00:33:44,879
I've got to remind them that the Queen,
717
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,839
in addition to her beauty,
718
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:51,950
possesses talent,
tenacity, and longevity.
719
00:33:53,350 --> 00:33:55,889
I've got to remind them that
though they can't sing their way
720
00:33:55,890 --> 00:33:59,080
out of a paper bag, Ms. Franklin can
sing circles around them in her sleep.
721
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:00,649
ARETHA: Well, she can.
722
00:34:00,650 --> 00:34:04,000
GLYNN: Without even trying, okay.
723
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:10,720
Now, what do you say you and I we go
up there and we say hey to some folks?
724
00:34:13,410 --> 00:34:14,989
ARETHA: Sounds like a plan.
725
00:34:14,990 --> 00:34:17,560
GLYNN: Mm-hmm. Madame.
726
00:34:23,090 --> 00:34:24,000
CLIVE: Enjoy yourself tonight.
727
00:34:24,001 --> 00:34:25,520
MAN: I will, thank you.
728
00:34:26,170 --> 00:34:28,049
GLYNN: Clive Davis.
729
00:34:28,050 --> 00:34:29,589
How you doing, man?
730
00:34:29,590 --> 00:34:31,549
CLIVE: Oh, good to see you, Glynn.
731
00:34:31,550 --> 00:34:35,240
It's always great to
see you, Ms. Franklin.
732
00:34:36,890 --> 00:34:39,290
GLYNN: I'll be back in a bit.
733
00:34:39,850 --> 00:34:41,309
CLIVE: Take care.
734
00:34:41,310 --> 00:34:43,960
ARETHA: Fun night, huh?
735
00:34:44,110 --> 00:34:47,609
Oh, and congratulations on your
new launch of Arista Records.
736
00:34:47,610 --> 00:34:50,800
CLIVE: We have had
a good first few years.
737
00:34:54,030 --> 00:34:55,739
You are a legend;
738
00:34:55,740 --> 00:34:58,579
one Grammy more or
less won't change that.
739
00:34:58,580 --> 00:35:01,970
You and your music are going
to live forever, I promise you.
740
00:35:02,630 --> 00:35:04,589
ARETHA: I've heard how
much you love the artists.
741
00:35:04,590 --> 00:35:07,360
CLIVE: They are the reason
I get out of bed every day.
742
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:12,240
Ms. Franklin, I hope
our paths cross again.
743
00:35:14,550 --> 00:35:16,530
Enjoy yourself.
744
00:35:23,730 --> 00:35:27,880
(PIANO).
745
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:32,779
BIG MOMMA: Glynn is at the altar
and he looks very handsome.
746
00:35:32,780 --> 00:35:35,579
CAROLYN: Ooh, and gathered to
witness you walk down the aisle,
747
00:35:35,580 --> 00:35:37,840
you've got everybody who's anybody.
748
00:35:38,240 --> 00:35:41,369
ERMA: Re, they're saying this is the
most exciting wedding of the year, girl.
749
00:35:41,370 --> 00:35:43,169
ARETHA: But now I'm nervous.
750
00:35:43,170 --> 00:35:46,879
BIG MOMMA: Oh, you should be
because marriage is a serious business.
751
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:50,190
CAROLYN: Well, and lucky you
got a deal on the pastor marrying you.
752
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:52,629
ARETHA: Daddy says the deacon wanted to
charge us double for using the church.
753
00:35:52,630 --> 00:35:54,049
CAROLYN: What!
754
00:35:54,050 --> 00:35:55,509
BIG MOMMA: Oh Lord, your
first marriage was in Ohio
755
00:35:55,510 --> 00:35:57,559
with the Justice of the Peace.
756
00:35:57,560 --> 00:35:59,389
ERMA: Oh, Daddy had a fit.
757
00:35:59,390 --> 00:36:01,269
CAROLYN: Come on, ya'll.
758
00:36:01,270 --> 00:36:02,849
Keep it on the good foot, else Re's
going to change her mind and jet.
759
00:36:02,850 --> 00:36:05,649
ERMA: Re ain't going nowhere
because Glynn Turman is fine.
760
00:36:05,650 --> 00:36:09,069
ARETHA: He is a
beautiful man and I love him.
761
00:36:09,070 --> 00:36:10,939
I might not be the
easiest person to be with,
762
00:36:10,940 --> 00:36:14,109
but he lets me lean on
him and I let him lean on me.
763
00:36:14,110 --> 00:36:18,720
BIG MOMMA: And that love you
have for him will carry you through.
764
00:36:20,790 --> 00:36:23,810
ARETHA: I'm sorry.
765
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,209
I was wrong for what I did to you.
766
00:36:26,210 --> 00:36:27,589
CAROLYN: It's nothing.
767
00:36:27,590 --> 00:36:29,089
It's like Big Ma said,
it's water under the bridge.
768
00:36:29,090 --> 00:36:30,709
ARETHA: No, no.
769
00:36:30,710 --> 00:36:32,629
You deserve an apology
and I need to give it.
770
00:36:32,630 --> 00:36:36,110
I'm sorry, really, I am.
771
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:44,450
CAROLYN: I hated you for it,
but not anymore.
772
00:36:48,770 --> 00:36:50,439
ARETHA: Now, go on, we not
supposed to cry until after the wedding.
773
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:52,239

- ERMA: That's our music.

CL: Ooh, ooh.
779
00:37:09,540 --> 00:37:12,900
You are sure you don't want
me to walk you down the aisle?
780
00:37:13,550 --> 00:37:14,669
You're okay with Cecil.
781
00:37:14,670 --> 00:37:16,089
ARETHA: Daddy, you can't do everything.
782
00:37:16,090 --> 00:37:18,780
How you going to walk me
down the aisle and marry us?
783

DOCTOR: Yeah, your father
has polyps on his vocal cords.
792
00:37:55,050 --> 00:37:57,549
Typically, they're caused
by overuse of the voice.
793
00:37:57,550 --> 00:37:59,219
CL: Too much preaching, doc.
794
00:37:59,220 --> 00:38:00,719
ARETHA: What's the
proper course of treatment?
795
00:38:00,720 --> 00:38:03,349
DOCTOR: Vocal rest is
critical to the healing process.
796
00:38:03,350 --> 00:38:04,769
ARETHA: Well, for how long?
797
00:38:04,770 --> 00:38:06,599

that's two months from now.
800

want to get a substitute.

been celebrated every year at

New Bethel since 1946, rain or shine.
803
00:38:18,450 --> 00:38:21,659
Now, obviously you don't
know what you're talking about
804
00:38:21,660 --> 00:38:24,039
because it's absolutely
ridiculous to think that
805
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:26,409
I'm going to sit it out.

ARETHA: The congregation
is expecting him to preach.
807
00:38:30,630 --> 00:38:33,039
DOCTOR: You need rest.
808
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:35,879
And real healing will
require lifestyle changes,
809
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:37,549
you need to stop smoking and drinking.

of this than it really is.
811

DOCTOR: And the way things look,
you've been drinking way too much.
812
00:38:42,510 --> 00:38:45,179
CL: Whiskey warms my vocal cords.
813
00:38:45,180 --> 00:38:46,769
DOCTOR: Mm-hmm.
814
00:38:46,770 --> 00:38:48,370
Reverend Franklin,
815
00:38:49,770 --> 00:38:52,809
you could potentially lose your voice,
816
00:38:52,810 --> 00:38:55,210
permanently.
817
00:38:56,530 --> 00:38:57,899
I hope you'll take my advice.

ARETHA: Just promise me that
you are going to get a little rest.
823
00:39:08,950 --> 00:39:11,669
Promise me.

anybody in your corner?

ARETHA: Not like you.
847
00:40:30,240 --> 00:40:31,999

listen to a recording and you
848
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:35,470
would say feels good today but
let's see how it feels in the morning?
