00:29:27,670 --> 00:29:28,999
"Black don't crack,"

It really means the world to me.

ARETHA: Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
573
00:29:42,470 --> 00:29:44,679
KATE: It's been 30 years
since your first Grammy for
574
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,139
"Respect" and since then
you've been making chart topping,
575
00:29:47,140 --> 00:29:49,479
award winning music.
576
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:52,149
Even though your life has
been full of many milestones
577
00:29:52,150 --> 00:29:55,130
and iconic moments, it
hasn't been free of controversy.
578
00:29:55,990 --> 00:29:57,449
ARETHA: Name one.
579
00:29:57,450 --> 00:30:00,529
KATE: Well, like when you
made the transition from Gospel
580
00:30:00,530 --> 00:30:01,909
music to secular music.
581
00:30:01,910 --> 00:30:03,579
ARETHA: I didn't transition at all.
582
00:30:03,580 --> 00:30:06,050
I just wanted to
spread my wings a little bit.
583
00:30:06,410 --> 00:30:09,619
And for the record, everything
I do is rooted in the church.
584
00:30:09,620 --> 00:30:11,730
It's who I am, it's what I sing.
585
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:14,589
I could sing "Mary had a Little Lamb"
586
00:30:14,590 --> 00:30:16,940
and it would still sound like church.
587
00:30:17,420 --> 00:30:21,190
In a way, everything I do
is Gospel, even the love song.
588
00:30:21,930 --> 00:30:24,950
KATE: You're a very private
person, is that on purpose?
589
00:30:25,390 --> 00:30:27,309
ARETHA: I think so.
590
00:30:27,310 --> 00:30:29,729
But if you listen to the music,
everything you need to know is in there.
591
00:30:29,730 --> 00:30:32,649
KATE: Has it been difficult for
you living your life so publicly?
592
00:30:32,650 --> 00:30:35,540
ARETHA: I think of it
more as a gift than a curse.
593
00:30:36,030 --> 00:30:40,699
KATE: Somehow you take the
difficult stuff of your life and
594
00:30:40,700 --> 00:30:44,130
you turn it into songs that people
love and will listen to forever.
595
00:30:45,660 --> 00:30:48,300
It's like you take lead
and turn it into gold.
596
00:30:49,710 --> 00:30:54,629
ARETHA: Well, I think that
everybody has a story to tell.
597
00:30:54,630 --> 00:30:57,259
Mine just happens to be
through song because that's
598
00:30:57,260 --> 00:31:00,379
where you'll find me,
right in the music.
599
00:31:00,380 --> 00:31:02,679
My spirit will always be around you.
600
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,950
Not a lot of people can say
that but I'm grateful that I can.

00:31:06,390 --> 00:31:08,700
KATE: You never give up, do you?
602
00:31:08,850 --> 00:31:12,040

there will never be another me.

died but Mr. Pavarotti,

00:34:55,910 --> 00:34:57,869
he's come down with a cold, he's sick.
668
00:34:57,870 --> 00:34:59,959
Tonight, he was supposed
to sing "Nessun Dorma".

sorry he's not feeling well.

says he shouldn't perform.

that have to do with me?

musicians and the choir ready to go.

the song two nights ago.

685
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:44,999
ARETHA: Maybe it's time for
me to show them that I still got it.
686
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:48,350
I haven't said yes yet but
I want to review the material.
687
00:35:48,500 --> 00:35:50,980
ERMA: Okay.

ERMA: What are they singing about?
692
00:36:14,990 --> 00:36:16,319
ARETHA: He's saying he's got a secret.
693
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:17,369
ERMA: Just like you.
694
00:36:17,370 --> 00:36:19,890
ARETHA: I've got a lot of secrets.
695
00:36:21,750 --> 00:36:24,720
The people won't sleep until
they've discovered the singer's secret.
696
00:36:28,790 --> 00:36:31,310
"Nessun Dorma" means no one sleeps.
697
00:36:32,470 --> 00:36:34,509
ERMA: And what happens
when they find out?
698
00:36:34,510 --> 00:36:37,389
ARETHA: If the people discovers
the singer's secret, she'll die.
699
00:36:37,390 --> 00:36:39,860
If the singer can keep
her secret, she'll live.
700
00:36:44,730 --> 00:36:46,689
ERMA: Deep.
701
00:36:46,690 --> 00:36:49,250
ARETHA: And then victory.
702
00:36:49,860 --> 00:36:51,649
ERMA: Amen.
703
00:36:51,650 --> 00:36:53,189
MR. EHRLICH: I love your take.
704
00:36:53,190 --> 00:36:55,359
ARETHA: I always
have to make it personal.
705
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:57,720
Only problem is, this is not in my key.
706
00:36:58,070 --> 00:36:59,829
ERMA: Oh, well then
that settles it, right.
707
00:36:59,830 --> 00:37:03,619
We appreciate you considering
Ms. Franklin for this very
708
00:37:03,620 --> 00:37:06,249
daring idea but she'll
sing one of her hits or
709
00:37:06,250 --> 00:37:08,329
you'll have to get someone else.
710
00:37:08,330 --> 00:37:09,589
MR. EHRLICH: Sorry I wasted your time.
711
00:37:09,590 --> 00:37:11,810
ARETHA: I can do it.
712
00:37:14,720 --> 00:37:17,940
ERMA: My sister is going
to need a moment alone.
713
00:37:23,060 --> 00:37:24,929
MAN (OVER SPEAKER): We're
at places, Mrs. Franklin,
714
00:37:24,930 --> 00:37:26,689
places please.
715
00:37:26,690 --> 00:37:28,290
ERMA: Ready?
716
00:37:30,230 --> 00:37:31,399
MR. ERLICH: Ready, Ms. Franklin?
717
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:32,439
ARETHA: Yes.
718
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:34,029
ERMA: You continue to amaze me.
719
00:37:34,030 --> 00:37:35,840
ARETHA: Thanks, sis.
720
00:37:37,450 --> 00:37:39,409
MAN (OVER PA): Is
represented by another voice
721
00:37:39,410 --> 00:37:43,239
who is truly deserving of
the term legend, my friend,
722
00:37:43,240 --> 00:37:45,180
Luciano Pavarotti.
723
00:37:45,910 --> 00:37:48,169
(APPLAUSE).
724
00:37:48,170 --> 00:37:50,329
Unfortunately, tonight,
his doctors have advised him to
725
00:37:50,330 --> 00:37:52,749
give that sore throat a rest.
726
00:37:52,750 --> 00:37:55,719
The selection he was going
to perform was "Nessun Dorma".
727
00:37:55,720 --> 00:37:58,929
Two nights ago, at MusiCares,
another legendary voice
728
00:37:58,930 --> 00:38:01,990
performed that same song,
one you might not expect.
729
00:38:02,810 --> 00:38:05,389
She has agreed to step
in for her friend, Luciano,
