00:01:39,376 --> 00:01:40,287
But you ain't
22
00:01:40,377 --> 00:01:41,247
getting baptized Sunday.
23
00:01:41,337 --> 00:01:43,247
God brought me home early
24
00:01:43,337 --> 00:01:44,297
to see...
25
00:01:45,717 --> 00:01:46,757
...you ain't ready.
26
00:01:46,837 --> 00:01:49,628
But they made my new dress
so pretty.
27
00:01:49,718 --> 00:01:51,798
You don't deserve that dress.
28
00:01:51,848 --> 00:01:52,798
Please!
29
00:01:52,888 --> 00:01:53,808
I won't let you go in that water
30
00:01:53,888 --> 00:01:54,808
no dry devil
31
00:01:54,888 --> 00:01:55,848
to come out a wet one.
32
00:01:55,928 --> 00:01:57,388
You the devil!
33
00:01:58,599 --> 00:02:02,559
When you come out that water,
you got to be perfect.
34
00:02:02,649 --> 00:02:04,479
God demands...
35
00:02:04,529 --> 00:02:06,110
He wants your best!
36
00:02:06,190 --> 00:02:08,490
You see I do the best
with my gift...
37
00:02:08,570 --> 00:02:11,530
To heal people who sick,
feed anybody hungry,
38
00:02:11,620 --> 00:02:14,160
raise children
ain't even my own.
39
00:02:19,371 --> 00:02:20,831
Before you baptized,
40
00:02:20,881 --> 00:02:22,041
you got to decide...
41
00:02:22,131 --> 00:02:23,842
What you gonna do
with your gift?
42
00:02:23,922 --> 00:02:25,502
I already did.
43
00:02:25,552 --> 00:02:27,882
People love my singing,
tell me all the time.
44
00:02:27,972 --> 00:02:30,632
You seen them out there
gathering to listen.
45
00:02:30,722 --> 00:02:32,143
That's my gift.
46
00:02:33,103 --> 00:02:34,763
And you wanna use it
47
00:02:34,853 --> 00:02:35,853
whining, moaning,
48
00:02:35,933 --> 00:02:37,433
singing the blues?
49
00:02:38,443 --> 00:02:40,193
Ain't people's lives
hard enough,
50
00:02:40,274 --> 00:02:42,524
full of despair?
51
00:02:42,614 --> 00:02:45,194
Halie, when you ready
52
00:02:45,234 --> 00:02:46,654
to come out that water...
53
00:02:47,904 --> 00:02:51,155
...you'll have
a special understanding...
54
00:02:51,245 --> 00:02:52,665
Your gift
55
00:02:52,745 --> 00:02:54,955

get that jazz
out of this church!
93
00:05:34,054 --> 00:05:37,554
B-But pastor,
this how we sing down south.
94
00:05:37,594 --> 00:05:40,685
I sang this song
the day I got baptized.
95
00:05:40,765 --> 00:05:41,895
It's blasphemous.
96
00:05:41,975 --> 00:05:44,225
You'll never sing that way
in this church.
97
00:05:44,315 --> 00:05:45,645
Blasphemous?
98
00:05:45,735 --> 00:05:47,395
This was my conversion.
99
00:05:47,485 --> 00:05:49,106
When I came up out the water,
100
00:05:49,196 --> 00:05:52,366
god himself
put those words in my mouth!
101
00:05:52,446 --> 00:05:53,946
This is a church, miss Jackson.
102
00:05:54,036 --> 00:05:55,906
Not a nightclub.
103
00:06:13,888 --> 00:06:16,349
I only sing in god's name.
104
00:06:16,429 --> 00:06:20,939
And David said, "make
a joyful noise unto the lord."
105
00:06:21,019 --> 00:06:23,230
Don't you read your Bible?
106
00:06:32,371 --> 00:06:34,531
Excuse me, miss Jackson?
107
00:06:35,541 --> 00:06:36,741
Here you go.
108
00:06:36,791 --> 00:06:38,791
Four dollars.
109
00:06:38,831 --> 00:06:41,462
I told the pastor he still
needs to pay you for the week.
110
00:06:41,502 --> 00:06:42,962
It's in the Bible.
111
00:06:43,042 --> 00:06:44,582
Thank you...
112
00:06:44,672 --> 00:06:46,252
Miss, uh?
113
00:06:46,342 --> 00:06:48,462
Estelle. Allen.
114
00:06:49,883 --> 00:06:51,223
I wish I could find
the sheet music
115
00:06:51,303 --> 00:06:52,973
for the way that you sing.
116
00:06:53,053 --> 00:06:55,303
'Cause you're from
down south, huh?
117
00:06:55,393 --> 00:06:57,974
I came up here to go to school,
become a nurse.
118
00:06:58,024 --> 00:07:00,274
Thought I'd make a little extra,
church singing,
119
00:07:00,354 --> 00:07:02,314
but that don't look
too possible now.
120
00:07:02,404 --> 00:07:04,444
If you'd like to know
how we sing in Chicago,
121
00:07:04,524 --> 00:07:07,325
you should go
see professor Kendricks.
122
00:07:07,365 --> 00:07:10,235
He's a wonderful tenor
who gives voice lessons.
123
00:07:11,405 --> 00:07:12,705
How much do he cost?
124
00:07:12,785 --> 00:07:14,325

That's no way

170
00:09:31,402 --> 00:09:33,442
It's a discredit

177
00:09:53,754 --> 00:09:56,884

178
00:09:56,964 --> 00:09:59,345
Will never do.
179
00:10:01,935 --> 00:10:04,185

00:10:04,265 --> 00:10:06,266

He ain't worth it.
183
00:10:10,736 --> 00:10:13,356
God say,
"don't let no man define you,
184
00:10:13,446 --> 00:10:15,317
steal your joy."
185
00:10:15,407 --> 00:10:16,777
Thank you.
186
00:10:16,867 --> 00:10:18,697
I needed that.
187
00:10:19,787 --> 00:10:22,367
I'm hungry.
188
00:10:24,338 --> 00:10:25,628
Mm, yum.
189
00:10:27,918 --> 00:10:29,418
This your husband?
190
00:10:29,508 --> 00:10:30,838
Yeah, that's Ike.
191
00:10:30,928 --> 00:10:32,879
He treats me good.
192
00:10:32,969 --> 00:10:34,299
Well, miss,
193
00:10:34,389 --> 00:10:36,389
I believe, one day, you gonna
be famous in this world,
194
00:10:36,429 --> 00:10:38,349
and walk with kings and queens.
195
00:10:38,389 --> 00:10:40,310
My aunt said that to me once.
196
00:10:40,390 --> 00:10:42,390
I told her, the only thing
I wanna walk with
197
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:43,520
is a good pair of shoes.
198
00:10:44,610 --> 00:10:46,560
Now go on,
get some more cornbread.
199
00:10:46,650 --> 00:10:48,150
It's open!
200
00:10:48,230 --> 00:10:50,321
Now get you three another plate
before all the food is gone.
201
00:10:50,401 --> 00:10:52,401
Hello!
202
00:10:52,491 --> 00:10:53,741
Hi, everybody.
203
00:10:53,821 --> 00:10:56,571
Wow, it looks like
a big family gathering.
204
00:10:56,621 --> 00:10:57,952
You could say that.
205
00:10:58,042 --> 00:10:58,912
Oh?
206
00:10:59,002 --> 00:11:00,542
This how I grew up.
207
00:11:00,622 --> 00:11:02,252
No matter how poor we were,
208
00:11:02,292 --> 00:11:04,832
my aunt Duke would feed anybody
that was hungry.
209
00:11:04,922 --> 00:11:07,173
But I trust
you got enough to eat.
210
00:11:09,463 --> 00:11:11,173
Well, what's wrong, Mahalia?
211
00:11:11,263 --> 00:11:14,934
I just... I just came by
to see how your lesson went.
212
00:11:16,304 --> 00:11:18,764
I ain't studying
no high-class stuff
213
00:11:18,814 --> 00:11:20,774
and I ain't singing
for white people.
214
00:11:20,814 --> 00:11:23,735
I'm singing in the church
for god.
215
00:11:23,815 --> 00:11:25,565
And I ain't got no ambition
216
00:11:25,655 --> 00:11:28,115
to be some high-class
society negro.
217
00:11:28,195 --> 00:11:30,785
You wrong.
218
00:11:30,825 --> 00:11:32,286
You think
I don't know hungry?
219
00:11:32,326 --> 00:11:35,456
I grew up, every morning,
every night,
220
00:11:35,536 --> 00:11:37,116
we was hungry.
221
00:11:37,166 --> 00:11:39,626
I didn't have
no aunt Duke to feed me,
222
00:11:39,666 --> 00:11:41,707
so I stuck my ear to the radio,
223
00:11:41,797 --> 00:11:43,127
learned to speak this way
224
00:11:43,167 --> 00:11:46,127
so I could make
a better kind of life.
225
00:11:48,177 --> 00:11:50,598
Have a good evening,
miss Jackson.
226
00:11:52,598 --> 00:11:54,138
Hey, Estelle.
227
00:11:54,188 --> 00:11:55,518
You like ham hocks?
228
00:11:55,598 --> 00:11:57,309
No.
229
00:11:59,069 --> 00:12:01,609
But I do like cornbread.
230
00:12:07,530 --> 00:12:08,660
"From the diaphragm."
231
00:12:09,990 --> 00:12:12,330
♪ it's me, it's me ♪
232
00:12:12,410 --> 00:12:14,120
♪ it's me, o lord ♪
233
00:12:14,211 --> 00:12:16,211
Okay, professor.
234
00:12:16,291 --> 00:12:19,331
I can't believe you had me
going to that man.
235
00:12:19,421 --> 00:12:21,001
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
236
00:12:21,051 --> 00:12:22,341
But you know what?
237
00:12:22,421 --> 00:12:26,382
You really do... you really do
belong on the stage.
238
00:12:26,472 --> 00:12:28,972
Only if the stage
belongs to god.
239
00:12:29,052 --> 00:12:30,432
What? You don't believe me?
240
00:12:30,512 --> 00:12:31,303
Mm-mm.
241
00:12:31,393 --> 00:12:35,023
Honey, I been tested plenty.
242
00:12:35,103 --> 00:12:36,813
I had this one bandleader,
243
00:12:36,893 --> 00:12:39,193
he wanted me
to sing the blues so bad,
244
00:12:39,273 --> 00:12:43,444
he was willing to pay me
$100... a week.
245
00:12:43,534 --> 00:12:46,534
How in god's name did you
say no to that much money?
246
00:12:46,614 --> 00:12:49,705
'Cause the "no" that I told him
was in god's name.
247
00:12:49,785 --> 00:12:52,035
So god told you
not to sing the blues?
248
00:12:52,125 --> 00:12:54,835
God say
his words would give joy,
249
00:12:54,915 --> 00:12:57,086
and bring others joy. Too.
250
00:12:57,166 --> 00:12:59,216
Now, I could sing the blues
if I wanted to,
251
00:12:59,256 --> 00:13:01,386
but that ain't
the life I wanna live.
252
00:13:01,426 --> 00:13:04,506
I done lived way too much
of the blues already,
253
00:13:04,596 --> 00:13:05,757
growing up.
254
00:13:05,847 --> 00:13:08,307
You remember the great flu?
255
00:13:08,387 --> 00:13:10,227
When all them folks
was wearin' the masks?
256
00:13:10,307 --> 00:13:11,227
Mm.
257
00:13:11,267 --> 00:13:12,727
Well, my aunt Duke...
258
00:13:12,767 --> 00:13:15,608
...She took them in,
259
00:13:15,688 --> 00:13:18,318
all the sick and suffering,
260
00:13:18,398 --> 00:13:21,698
then my grandfather died,
261
00:13:21,738 --> 00:13:24,369
and my mother...
262
00:13:25,749 --> 00:13:30,709
Anybody singing the blues
is alone and in a deep pit.
263
00:13:30,789 --> 00:13:32,880
But god's word... oh!
264
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,250
When you sing god's music...
265
00:13:35,300 --> 00:13:37,590
I just feel so much hope.
266
00:13:37,670 --> 00:13:40,881
I can't stand to live
with any more pain.
267
00:13:40,931 --> 00:13:43,051
Happy Valentine's!
268
00:13:43,141 --> 00:13:44,761
Oh, you scared me!
269
00:13:44,851 --> 00:13:47,261
It ain't Valentine's day,
you fool.
270
00:13:47,311 --> 00:13:48,432
Oh, yeah?
271
00:13:48,482 --> 00:13:50,392
Every day married to you...
272
00:13:50,482 --> 00:13:51,852
It's a Valentine.
273
00:13:53,022 --> 00:13:54,102
We got company, Ike.
274
00:13:54,192 --> 00:13:55,312
Excuse me.
275
00:13:55,402 --> 00:13:57,943
Isaac Lane Grey Hockenhull.
276
00:13:57,993 --> 00:13:59,693
RotC, Tuskegee institute.
277
00:13:59,783 --> 00:14:00,993
Fisk university.
278
00:14:01,073 --> 00:14:02,613
From Como, Mississippi,
279
00:14:02,703 --> 00:14:04,203
by way of pine bluff,
Arkansas.
280
00:14:04,283 --> 00:14:06,744
This is Estelle Allen.
281
00:14:06,794 --> 00:14:07,834
-Hello.
-Oh, yeah!
282
00:14:07,914 --> 00:14:09,294
From that church
that threw you out.
283
00:14:09,334 --> 00:14:10,964
Pleased to meet you.
284
00:14:11,004 --> 00:14:14,085
Estelle's gonna be
my new piano player.
285
00:14:14,175 --> 00:14:15,755
- Mm.
- I...
286
00:14:15,805 --> 00:14:17,385
I am?
287
00:14:17,465 --> 00:14:19,305
I like Estelle!
288
00:14:19,385 --> 00:14:22,135
Don't know how she got you
to finally take singing lessons.
289
00:14:22,185 --> 00:14:25,766
I tell Mahalia all the time,
she should be an opera star.
290
00:14:25,856 --> 00:14:29,316
Well, how do you and god
feel about that?
291
00:14:30,896 --> 00:14:31,937

-Yeah?
317
00:15:49,946 --> 00:15:51,696
I've been waitin'
to tell you.
318
00:15:51,786 --> 00:15:53,076
You're pregnant?
319
00:15:53,156 --> 00:15:54,196
No.
320
00:15:54,286 --> 00:15:56,496
But I do pray
for a big family one day,
321
00:15:56,576 --> 00:15:57,457
but we need money first.
322
00:15:57,537 --> 00:15:58,787
So,
323
00:15:58,877 --> 00:16:00,287
Ike's mother...
324
00:16:00,377 --> 00:16:03,247
She's finally selling us
her cosmetic formula.
325
00:16:03,297 --> 00:16:05,548
We going into business
for ourselves!
326
00:16:05,628 --> 00:16:06,718
Oh, halie, that's wonderful.
327
00:16:06,798 --> 00:16:08,548
I got all her secrets
and everything.
328
00:16:08,638 --> 00:16:09,798
I think I might
329
00:16:09,888 --> 00:16:11,928
start cooking up
some beauty products tonight.
330
00:16:12,008 --> 00:16:13,718
Mm, well, I want to be
your first customer.
331
00:16:13,808 --> 00:16:15,769
The magic skin cream
costs a dollar.
332
00:16:15,809 --> 00:16:17,099
Oh. Mm.
333
00:16:17,189 --> 00:16:19,269
There you go.
334
00:16:19,309 --> 00:16:21,729
Ike's so excited
to start this business,
335
00:16:21,819 --> 00:16:24,270
he quit his part-time job
at the post office.
336
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,280
He did?
337
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,280
Oh, well, that...
That could turn full-time.
338
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,450
That's good, steady pay.
339
00:16:33,041 --> 00:16:34,911
Oh, Mahalia.
340
00:16:35,001 --> 00:16:37,411
I want you to meet
a student of mine,
341
00:16:37,461 --> 00:16:38,541
Mildred falls.
342
00:16:38,621 --> 00:16:40,042
I think she could be
good for you.
343
00:16:40,132 --> 00:16:41,332
Ah, she's right.
344
00:16:41,422 --> 00:16:44,962
I'm almost in need of
a full-time piano player.
345
00:16:45,052 --> 00:16:48,263
Somebody that can come on time
and keep up.
346
00:16:48,303 --> 00:16:49,343
Can you keep up?
347
00:16:49,433 --> 00:16:51,183
Oh. No. I'm...
348
00:16:51,263 --> 00:16:53,053
Mildred's been
to hear you sing many times.
349
00:16:53,143 --> 00:16:55,603
She's just never
introduced herself.
350
00:16:55,683 --> 00:16:58,274
Well, can you get my bounce?
Get my rhythm right?
351
00:16:58,314 --> 00:17:00,524
I could learn.
352
00:17:01,694 --> 00:17:03,694
Well, come back to me
when you're confident
353
00:17:03,774 --> 00:17:05,114
you can bounce.
354
00:17:05,194 --> 00:17:07,325
I'm always in need of
a piano player
355
00:17:07,365 --> 00:17:10,115
'cause none of the good ones
are too reliable.
356
00:17:10,205 --> 00:17:11,915
Because some of us
357
00:17:11,995 --> 00:17:13,745
can't afford
to lose our regular jobs
358
00:17:13,835 --> 00:17:16,166
travelin' over
god's green earth with you.
359
00:17:16,256 --> 00:17:18,706
Well, god will provide
to those who commit
360
00:17:18,796 --> 00:17:20,296
to his demands.
361
00:17:20,376 --> 00:17:21,626
Now, I got to get home,
362
00:17:21,716 --> 00:17:23,587
start cooking up
my new wealth.
363
00:17:23,677 --> 00:17:26,347
Remember, Tuesday,
we got a funeral to play.
364
00:17:26,427 --> 00:17:28,137
Come early.

who takes care of you?

but mostly I stay at the church.

and serve him
the days of your youth,
464
00:23:11,567 --> 00:23:15,398
and when you grow old,
he may not depart from you."
465
00:23:16,988 --> 00:23:19,778
My grandfather taught me that
when I was around your age,
466
00:23:19,868 --> 00:23:20,948
after my mother passed.
467
00:23:21,028 --> 00:23:23,079
What do you think
he meant by that?
468
00:23:23,159 --> 00:23:24,829
That I should be
praying every day?
469
00:23:24,909 --> 00:23:26,449
Yes, and serving, too.
470
00:23:26,539 --> 00:23:30,079
You got to find god
in all things.
471
00:23:31,210 --> 00:23:32,540

472
00:23:32,630 --> 00:23:34,050

494
00:24:28,526 --> 00:24:30,236
They wanted to tell you
at the audition,
495
00:24:30,316 --> 00:24:31,147

I don't know.
501
00:24:43,418 --> 00:24:47,298
I got this feeling today
when I was on the stage like...
502
00:24:47,378 --> 00:24:49,879
Like I was carrying
my mother with me,
503
00:24:49,969 --> 00:24:52,089
and I barely knew her,
but she was there.
504
00:24:52,179 --> 00:24:53,639
And then I go outside,
505
00:24:53,719 --> 00:24:56,219
and I find this boy,
and he's without a mother, too.
506
00:24:56,309 --> 00:24:57,220
Mm-hmm.
507
00:24:57,310 --> 00:24:58,350
Ike...
508
00:24:58,430 --> 00:25:00,980
If I sing hot mikado,
509
00:25:01,020 --> 00:25:02,560
I got to live hot mikado, too,
510
00:25:02,650 --> 00:25:06,151
and-and sing about fast livin'
and raisin' Cain
511
00:25:06,191 --> 00:25:08,191
ain't somethin' I believe in.
512
00:25:08,281 --> 00:25:09,481
But this boy,
513
00:25:09,571 --> 00:25:13,491
I feel like this is god
answering our prayers.
514
00:25:13,531 --> 00:25:14,612
Christ, Mahalia!
515
00:25:14,702 --> 00:25:16,702
I'm so damn sick of this.
516
00:25:16,792 --> 00:25:18,542
Can't god answer
both our prayers for once?
517
00:25:18,582 --> 00:25:19,832
Not if you don't deserve it!
518
00:25:19,872 --> 00:25:22,463
Not if you don't work for it.
519
00:25:25,793 --> 00:25:27,383
Racing form?
520
00:25:27,423 --> 00:25:30,173
So how was selling cosmetics
going today?
521
00:25:30,263 --> 00:25:32,174
I figured out
how to use my science degree...
522
00:25:32,264 --> 00:25:34,264
Studying and testing
a new handicapping system.
523
00:25:34,344 --> 00:25:36,764
Ain't nobody doing this
in racing.
524
00:25:36,854 --> 00:25:39,184
See? I'm using my degree.
525
00:25:40,145 --> 00:25:42,065
Now, please,
can't you see we need this?
526
00:25:42,105 --> 00:25:44,565
God is showing me
exactly what I need,
527
00:25:44,605 --> 00:25:47,946
and if I can't make a living
"hollerin'" in the church,
528
00:25:48,026 --> 00:25:49,986
then I'm gonna go
back to school,
529
00:25:50,076 --> 00:25:52,576
open a storefront...
A real business.
530
00:25:54,166 --> 00:25:55,616
Come here, honey.
531
00:25:55,706 --> 00:25:57,747

535
00:26:07,968 --> 00:26:10,178

you can be.
537
00:26:28,530 --> 00:26:31,201
I got a Valentine's
from Ike yesterday.
538
00:26:31,291 --> 00:26:32,791
Uh-oh.
539
00:26:32,871 --> 00:26:36,251
Say "even though we been apart
longer than we been together,"
540
00:26:36,331 --> 00:26:38,921
he still remember every minute.
541
00:26:41,172 --> 00:26:43,672
He still remember
all them gambling minutes, too?
542
00:26:43,762 --> 00:26:45,972
Girl... I tried.
543
00:26:47,182 --> 00:26:48,973
John! Where'd you park my Buick?
544
00:26:49,053 --> 00:26:50,803
I didn't see you drive by.
545
00:26:50,893 --> 00:26:52,353
Well, I got a good spot.
546
00:26:52,433 --> 00:26:54,393
Oh, you got your license!
547
00:26:54,483 --> 00:26:56,063
Congratulations, John.
548
00:26:56,143 --> 00:26:57,314
Thank you, miss Estelle.
549
00:26:57,354 --> 00:26:59,024
Are my tires
touching the curb?
550
00:26:59,114 --> 00:27:00,774
I just cleaned them
whitewall tires.
551
00:27:00,864 --> 00:27:02,984
They better not
be touching the curb.
552
00:27:03,074 --> 00:27:04,034
I can check.
553
00:27:04,114 --> 00:27:05,785
Uh-uh-uh.
554
00:27:09,375 --> 00:27:10,575
You think your mama
555
00:27:10,665 --> 00:27:12,285
will ever let you take
that car out on a date?
556
00:27:12,335 --> 00:27:13,626
Won't have time.
557
00:27:13,706 --> 00:27:15,296
As soon as school's out,
we have the revival circuit.
558
00:27:15,376 --> 00:27:18,836
When will that woman ever
be satisfied for one minute?
559
00:27:18,926 --> 00:27:20,506
She has a good business,
560
00:27:20,596 --> 00:27:23,467
the only colored person I know
that owns a whole building,
561
00:27:23,557 --> 00:27:25,007
has three tenants
paying rent!
562
00:27:25,097 --> 00:27:28,477
When will god tell her
she has enough?
563
00:27:28,557 --> 00:27:30,808
Well, mama believes
he already did...
564
00:27:32,068 --> 00:27:33,978
...when her record
with Decca flopped.
565
00:27:37,858 --> 00:27:38,898
How were the whitewalls?
566
00:27:38,988 --> 00:27:41,949
Fine, but the rear's out
way too far.
567
00:27:42,029 --> 00:27:44,659
Somebody take that corner tight,
tear off my bumper.
568
00:27:44,699 --> 00:27:45,789
Move the car.
569
00:27:45,869 --> 00:27:47,039
Bye, John.
570
00:27:47,079 --> 00:27:48,830
Bye, miss Estelle.
571
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,500
Why are you still doing
them summer tent revivals?
572
00:27:52,590 --> 00:27:55,250
Between the shop
and all your engagements here,
573
00:27:55,340 --> 00:27:57,381
you're actually losing money
when you travel.
574
00:27:57,471 --> 00:27:59,011
It's 'cause I got to reach
the people.
575
00:27:59,091 --> 00:28:00,511
Especially them poor folks.
576
00:28:00,591 --> 00:28:03,221
You know, that tent goin' up
is like Christmas for them,
577
00:28:03,311 --> 00:28:06,392
and that money, well,
it'll take care of itself.
578
00:28:06,472 --> 00:28:10,182
So long as I can bring
something to the people...
579
00:28:10,272 --> 00:28:12,062
...I'm satisfied.
580
00:28:12,152 --> 00:28:13,022
Yeah, all right.
581
00:28:13,112 --> 00:28:14,233
Except...
582
00:28:14,323 --> 00:28:16,363
I need a piano player.
583
00:28:16,443 --> 00:28:17,573
Oh, lord.
584
00:28:17,613 --> 00:28:19,243
Come on, I can pay
your full salary now.
585
00:28:19,283 --> 00:28:20,323
And when you're not playing,
586
00:28:20,413 --> 00:28:22,164
you can work here,
like a regular job.
587
00:28:22,244 --> 00:28:24,414
You know I hate
all that traveling around.
588
00:28:24,494 --> 00:28:26,494
Chicago's got everything I need.
589
00:28:26,584 --> 00:28:29,374
But I will keep an eye
on the shop for you
590
00:28:29,464 --> 00:28:30,965
while you're gone.
591
00:28:31,045 --> 00:28:33,335
You know, I'm thinking about
going to beauty school.
592
00:28:33,425 --> 00:28:34,925
-That's nice.
-Mm-hmm.
593
00:28:34,965 --> 00:28:36,925
But I still need
a piano player.
594
00:28:36,965 --> 00:28:40,096

Honey, she's never gonna be
happy with your playing.

don't expect any praise.

Mahalia saves her praises
for god.

Your real job...
633
00:30:33,809 --> 00:30:35,309

Yeah!
I think you...

I think you start
in Mississippi.

Mississippi?

Oh, you don't like Mississippi?

Yeah.
657
00:32:06,950 --> 00:32:08,660
Sorry, sir. Poor boy.
658
00:32:08,710 --> 00:32:09,750
He tired,
659
00:32:09,830 --> 00:32:12,870
and we been driving
for a long time.
660
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,171
We just poor missionaries
661
00:32:15,251 --> 00:32:18,421
on our way to sing
in a poor little ol' church.
662
00:32:18,511 --> 00:32:20,381
We'd be forever grateful
if we could
663
00:32:20,471 --> 00:32:23,682
just buy us, uh...
A little bit of gasoline.
664
00:32:23,722 --> 00:32:26,682
Will you help us
do the lord's work, sir?
665
00:32:32,733 --> 00:32:34,773
You should know...
"Esso".
666
00:32:34,863 --> 00:32:36,363
Esso.
667
00:32:36,443 --> 00:32:39,324
Every summer we down here,
we only stop at an Esso station.
668
00:32:39,404 --> 00:32:41,364
Get that through your big head!
669
00:32:41,454 --> 00:32:43,824
I didn't want to wake you.
670
00:32:43,874 --> 00:32:44,994
Well, hell, I'm woke.
671
00:32:51,295 --> 00:32:53,585
You sure
ain't no southern girl.
672
00:32:53,675 --> 00:32:54,795
No, I'm not.
673
00:32:54,885 --> 00:32:56,796
You see how I got to talk
to the white folks
674
00:32:56,886 --> 00:32:58,886
like I ain't got no sense.
675
00:32:58,926 --> 00:33:00,886
I understand
why you did that.
676
00:33:00,926 --> 00:33:04,727
There's a lot that
you're gonna learn, Mildred.
677
00:33:04,767 --> 00:33:08,557
For one, when we get down
to our "little ol' church..."
678
00:33:08,647 --> 00:33:11,187
Shoot, you gon' see
679
00:33:11,237 --> 00:33:15,068
what the holy spirit
is all about.
680
00:33:17,368 --> 00:33:18,698
Clarksdale, Mississippi!
681
00:33:20,118 --> 00:33:23,369
We're so glad to start
our revival with you here!
682
00:33:23,409 --> 00:33:25,079
And the way I see it is,
683
00:33:25,169 --> 00:33:27,959
I don't care if a man
is a gambler or a thief...
684
00:33:29,049 --> 00:33:30,630
...a wino or a murderer.
685
00:33:30,710 --> 00:33:32,130
That's right!
686
00:33:32,170 --> 00:33:35,090
Every man and every woman
has got to believe in something.
687
00:33:36,300 --> 00:33:38,050
-Something they can look up to.
-Amen!
688
00:33:38,140 --> 00:33:41,811
We got to learn
to show kindness to others,
689
00:33:41,891 --> 00:33:43,101
especially to those...
690
00:33:43,181 --> 00:33:44,641
...Who don't believe
691
00:33:44,731 --> 00:33:46,521
in feeling.
692
00:33:46,601 --> 00:33:47,562
That's right!
693
00:33:47,652 --> 00:33:49,062
What can we do
but help each other?
694
00:33:49,152 --> 00:33:50,942
-Yeah!
-God don't need
695
00:33:51,032 --> 00:33:53,402
nothing from us
but to love each other,
696
00:33:53,492 --> 00:33:54,992
and to help each other.
Amen!
697
00:33:55,072 --> 00:33:57,283
-Amen!

God is so good!
736
00:35:28,513 --> 00:35:30,554
Didn't he wake up this morning?
737
00:35:30,594 --> 00:35:32,344
Didn't he put food
on your table?
738
00:35:32,434 --> 00:35:35,014
And clothes on your back?
739
00:35:40,565 --> 00:35:42,525
I can walk. I can walk!
740
00:35:42,565 --> 00:35:46,075
Great god almighty!
Praise the lord!
741
00:35:46,115 --> 00:35:47,405
I can walk and you did it!
742
00:35:48,576 --> 00:35:49,496
It's the singing!
743
00:35:49,576 --> 00:35:50,406
That wasn't me.
744
00:35:50,456 --> 00:35:52,616
He ain't walked in 20 years!
745
00:35:52,706 --> 00:35:53,706
You healed him!
746
00:35:53,786 --> 00:35:55,376
No, no, no. That was god!
747
00:35:55,456 --> 00:35:56,417
The power of god!
748
00:35:56,457 --> 00:35:58,087
It ain't me.
That ain't me, sir!
749
00:35:58,167 --> 00:35:59,457
I can see!
750
00:35:59,547 --> 00:36:02,087
Don't you feel him?
In your spirit? Whoo!
751
00:36:03,137 --> 00:36:04,047
Come on, mama.
752
00:36:04,097 --> 00:36:05,008
Mama, it's all right.
753
00:36:05,098 --> 00:36:06,258
You healed me!
754
00:36:06,348 --> 00:36:07,598
I did not heal that man.
755
00:36:08,928 --> 00:36:12,098
No, mama, I don't understand,
but it was... it was the singing.
756
00:36:12,188 --> 00:36:13,229
It was god!
757
00:36:13,309 --> 00:36:14,689
It was the music
that made the miracle.
758
00:36:14,769 --> 00:36:16,439
God was moving through me.
759
00:36:16,479 --> 00:36:18,859
Ooh, and Mildred.
760
00:36:18,939 --> 00:36:20,279
Did you feel that?
761
00:36:28,580 --> 00:36:30,791
I pray to make another record
762
00:36:30,871 --> 00:36:32,961
like I pray
to find another husband,
763
00:36:33,041 --> 00:36:35,081
but every time
I come close to either,
764
00:36:35,131 --> 00:36:38,291
god chooses
a different prayer to answer.
765
00:36:38,341 --> 00:36:40,632
Well, we may not
be as big and powerful
766
00:36:40,722 --> 00:36:42,722
as, say, Columbia records,
767
00:36:42,802 --> 00:36:44,342
but once you sign,
768
00:36:44,432 --> 00:36:47,342
we stay loyal to our artists.
769
00:36:47,433 --> 00:36:49,893
I believe Apollo records
is the perfect home for you...
770
00:36:49,973 --> 00:36:52,933
To feel comfortable,
to branch out.
771
00:36:54,063 --> 00:36:55,563
"Branch out"?
772
00:36:55,653 --> 00:36:58,654
You see the variety
of artists we record?
773
00:36:58,694 --> 00:37:00,324
I think you'd be wonderful.
774
00:37:00,364 --> 00:37:03,494
I think you could really
sing the hell out of the blues.
775
00:37:03,534 --> 00:37:06,705
What negro can't
sing the hell outta the blues?
776
00:37:06,785 --> 00:37:09,535
That's what life's been
for most of us.
777
00:37:09,625 --> 00:37:11,415
See, Mrs. Berman,
778
00:37:11,505 --> 00:37:14,756
I'm so tired of getting
so close to making a record
779
00:37:14,836 --> 00:37:16,256
only to find out
780
00:37:16,336 --> 00:37:18,296
that people want me
to sing some other kinda way.
781
00:37:18,346 --> 00:37:21,807
Now, people don't understand,
782
00:37:21,887 --> 00:37:23,887
that pain
that you hear in the blues,
783
00:37:23,977 --> 00:37:26,517
it ain't got nowhere to go
once it's inside you.
784
00:37:26,557 --> 00:37:29,687
The blues
can't guide you how to live,
785
00:37:29,727 --> 00:37:30,858
like gospel.
786
00:37:30,938 --> 00:37:34,688
Now, gospel,
that's the cure for the blues.
787
00:37:34,778 --> 00:37:37,318
I love your voice,
788
00:37:37,408 --> 00:37:39,949
but I still got
a bottom line.
789
00:37:40,029 --> 00:37:42,199
Tell you what.
790
00:37:42,289 --> 00:37:46,209
I can give ya...
Two hours of studio time.
791
00:37:46,249 --> 00:37:48,080
Two hours?
792
00:37:48,170 --> 00:37:50,210
That's my best offer.
793
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:53,550
Gospel music,
794
00:37:53,590 --> 00:37:55,010
my people.
795
00:37:55,050 --> 00:37:57,051
Fine.
796
00:37:57,091 --> 00:37:58,591
Do we have a deal?
797
00:37:58,681 --> 00:38:01,051
Now, let's clarify
these two hours.
798
00:38:01,101 --> 00:38:02,181
You mean two hours
799
00:38:02,271 --> 00:38:04,431
from the time the man
push the button,
800
00:38:04,522 --> 00:38:06,892
two hours recording,
right?
801
00:38:06,942 --> 00:38:08,392
Yes, miss Jackson.
802
00:38:08,482 --> 00:38:11,062

00:38:43,106 --> 00:38:44,146
I did not say
push the button yet!
812
00:38:44,226 --> 00:38:46,436
Lady, I can't be here
all night.
813
00:38:46,486 --> 00:38:48,107
Well, Mrs. Berman,
you said two hours...
814
00:38:48,147 --> 00:38:49,397
You didn't say
which two hours.
815
00:38:49,447 --> 00:38:50,567
Mahalia.
816
00:38:50,657 --> 00:38:52,567
We've been here all day.
You made your point.
817
00:38:52,617 --> 00:38:54,367
I'm not trying
to make no point, all right?
818
00:38:54,447 --> 00:38:56,948
I'm just trying to rehearse
so that we get it perfect.
819
00:38:57,038 --> 00:38:57,998
That's it.
820
00:38:58,078 --> 00:38:59,248
When's the next booking?
821
00:39:00,668 --> 00:39:01,958
Tomorrow, 10:00 A.M.
822
00:39:02,038 --> 00:39:03,788
We'll be done by then.
823
00:39:06,629 --> 00:39:08,299
Why you so quiet?
824
00:39:08,339 --> 00:39:09,969
It's so good to meet you,
miss Jackson. I am...
825
00:39:10,009 --> 00:39:10,969
I know who you are.
826
00:39:11,009 --> 00:39:12,799
Well, I'm honored.
827
00:39:12,849 --> 00:39:14,140
They got you here to watch
all the colored folks,
828
00:39:14,220 --> 00:39:15,350
but let me tell you something,
829
00:39:15,430 --> 00:39:16,640
you need to watch them...
Make sure they don't
830
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:17,810
-gyp me on my time.
-Oh, I-I don't work for...
831
00:39:17,890 --> 00:39:18,810
All right.
832
00:39:18,890 --> 00:39:19,980
Now, Mildred.
833
00:39:20,060 --> 00:39:21,140
I know they trying
to make you move faster,
834
00:39:21,230 --> 00:39:22,441
but you don't worry
about none of that,
835
00:39:22,481 --> 00:39:23,981
you take your time, all right?
836
00:39:24,071 --> 00:39:25,401
You don't need none of this.
837
00:39:25,481 --> 00:39:27,481
You got to feel this
in your heart and in your body.
838
00:39:27,531 --> 00:39:29,231
Now, if you ever feel lost,
839
00:39:29,321 --> 00:39:31,032
you just keep your eyes on me...
Always keep your eyes on me,
840
00:39:31,112 --> 00:39:33,492
'cause we ain't gonna get
another chance like this again.
841

Excuse me.
860
00:40:26,548 --> 00:40:29,508
Miss Jackson ready for the man
to, uh, press the button now.
861
00:40:29,598 --> 00:40:31,889
Something else...
862
00:40:31,929 --> 00:40:33,179
What now?
863
00:40:33,269 --> 00:40:34,849
You got my up-front money?

Mm-hmm.
865
00:40:36,019 --> 00:40:37,599
In cash?
866
00:40:37,689 --> 00:40:39,570
Then let's make a record.
867
00:40:45,870 --> 00:40:46,990
Here you go, brother.
868
00:40:47,070 --> 00:40:49,161
Get you some breakfast.
869
00:40:49,241 --> 00:40:51,031
See? We out by 10:00 A.M.
870
00:40:51,081 --> 00:40:53,251
And they say colored folks
can't be on time.
871
00:40:54,421 --> 00:40:55,912
I hope Mrs. Berman
don't fire you.
872
00:40:56,002 --> 00:40:57,922
Oh, I don't think anyone
could keep the job
873
00:40:57,962 --> 00:40:59,422
of handling you,
miss Jackson.
874
00:40:59,462 --> 00:41:01,502
I don't even know your name.
875
00:41:01,592 --> 00:41:03,592
Reverend Russell Roberts.
876
00:41:03,672 --> 00:41:05,883
Reverend?
Oh, I'm too tired for fooling.
877
00:41:05,973 --> 00:41:08,143
Shiloh baptist church,
Atlantic city.
878
00:41:08,223 --> 00:41:10,303
One of my parishioners
records with Apollo.
879
00:41:10,393 --> 00:41:11,603
I've heard about you
880
00:41:11,643 --> 00:41:13,104
on the revival circuit
for years,
881
00:41:13,144 --> 00:41:14,734
wanted to hear you sing
for myself.
882
00:41:14,814 --> 00:41:16,354
Oh, lord, you're serious?
883
00:41:16,444 --> 00:41:17,694
So when will your record
come out?
884
00:41:17,774 --> 00:41:20,564
Whenever Mrs. Berman decide,
if she decide.
885
00:41:20,614 --> 00:41:22,025
It may never come out.
886
00:41:22,115 --> 00:41:24,075
Your business is tough.
887
00:41:24,115 --> 00:41:25,035
So is yours, reverend.
888
00:41:25,115 --> 00:41:26,325
Russell.
889
00:41:26,365 --> 00:41:29,075
Well, I truly don't know
what will come of this
890
00:41:29,165 --> 00:41:32,286
other than none of us
got any sleep.
891
00:41:32,336 --> 00:41:35,546
Nine years ago,
I cut my first record and...
892
00:41:36,546 --> 00:41:38,757
...only place it hit
was the graveyard.
893
00:41:38,837 --> 00:41:40,467
If you read
the liturgy closely,
894
00:41:40,507 --> 00:41:41,967
you'll find reference
throughout the Bible,
895
00:41:42,057 --> 00:41:43,347
that faith requires...
896
00:41:43,387 --> 00:41:44,847
Look, you don't
have to school me on the word...
897
00:41:44,927 --> 00:41:46,097
I know my Bible,
898
00:41:46,187 --> 00:41:49,438
even thought I didn't
get to finish school.
899
00:41:50,518 --> 00:41:53,188
Most of my thoughts

with a golden voice.
928

Her name is Mahalia Jackson,

the holy grail of gospel sales
was 100,000 records,

is a burst of freedom,

00:50:25,928 --> 00:50:28,768
The only thing is
she don't know she own it yet.
1078
00:50:28,848 --> 00:50:31,309
Halie...
1079
00:50:31,399 --> 00:50:34,149
The shop's always been
something for me to lean on,
1080
00:50:34,229 --> 00:50:37,269
but now it seems like
it's leaning on me.
1081
00:50:37,359 --> 00:50:40,400
I...
I can't accept such a gift.
1082
00:50:40,490 --> 00:50:41,740
Why does everybody think
1083
00:50:41,820 --> 00:50:43,610
I'm just giving all the time?
1084
00:50:43,700 --> 00:50:44,950
I didn't ask to buy it.
1085
00:50:45,030 --> 00:50:46,831
I-I can't afford it.
1086
00:50:46,911 --> 00:50:49,581
Well, give me a dollar.
Can you afford that?
1087
00:50:56,042 --> 00:50:58,092
Thank you.
1088
00:50:59,462 --> 00:51:00,962
John?
1089
00:51:01,052 --> 00:51:04,263
Go tell the promoter to bring up
the rest of my money in cash.
1090
00:51:04,343 --> 00:51:07,143
It's Carnegie hall, mama.
1091
00:51:07,223 --> 00:51:10,433
I got to take me
wherever I go.
1092
00:51:11,483 --> 00:51:12,894
Okay.
1093
00:51:40,427 --> 00:51:41,927

Incredible.
Broke attendance.
1163
00:55:16,422 --> 00:55:17,752
Columbia records wants
to make you an offer.
1164
00:55:17,842 --> 00:55:19,172
Where's Mildred?
1165
00:55:19,252 --> 00:55:21,003
We worked hard
for the lord tonight.
1166
00:55:21,053 --> 00:55:22,263
Can you get my slippers?
1167
00:55:22,343 --> 00:55:24,223
Mama, that was
the most beautiful performance.
1168
00:55:24,303 --> 00:55:25,223
Thank you.
1169
00:55:25,303 --> 00:55:26,763
I am so proud of you.
1170
00:55:26,853 --> 00:55:28,263
When's your next
record coming out?
1171
00:55:28,303 --> 00:55:29,053
I'm certain that Carnegie hall
is gonna want you back.
1172
00:55:29,103 --> 00:55:31,144
We'll see.
1173
00:55:32,684 --> 00:55:33,734
All right,
thank you, everybody,
1174
00:55:33,814 --> 00:55:36,274
but miss Jackson
needs her rest.
1175
00:55:36,354 --> 00:55:37,234
What's going on?
1176
00:55:37,314 --> 00:55:38,275
You're bleeding.
1177
00:55:38,365 --> 00:55:40,275
We need to get you
off your feet.
1178
00:55:40,365 --> 00:55:41,195
Can we get an interview?
1179
00:55:41,285 --> 00:55:43,405
Thank you.
Have a good night.
1180
00:55:43,495 --> 00:55:44,655
Excuse me.
1181
00:55:44,745 --> 00:55:46,035
Go on, now. Thank you.
1182
00:55:46,075 --> 00:55:47,536
Thank you all for coming.
Have a good night.
1183
00:55:47,626 --> 00:55:49,956
Let's just get you
to the room, okay?
1184
00:55:54,126 --> 00:55:55,627
Oh, my g...
1185
00:55:55,717 --> 00:55:57,547
Hoo.
1186
00:55:57,637 --> 00:56:00,387
Help me up. Help me up.
1187
00:56:04,098 --> 00:56:06,098
I ain't goin' to no doctor.
1188
00:56:17,279 --> 00:56:18,449
Lord, I keep praying
1189
00:56:18,529 --> 00:56:20,069
not to have
all this anger in my heart,
1190
00:56:20,159 --> 00:56:22,030
but it's so hard.
1191
00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:23,370
Why god? Why?
1192
00:56:23,450 --> 00:56:24,870
God's not the only one
here for you.
1193
00:56:24,950 --> 00:56:26,540
I wish you'd believe in me, too.
1194
00:56:26,620 --> 00:56:28,000
Russell, please!
1195
00:56:28,040 --> 00:56:29,170
Now, you can tell the newspapers
that it's bronchitis,
1196
00:56:29,250 --> 00:56:32,291
but I know
this is not bronchitis.
1197
00:56:33,341 --> 00:56:35,381
Come on, now.
1198
00:56:35,471 --> 00:56:36,631
Tell me what happened.
1199
00:56:36,671 --> 00:56:38,972
I hate doctors.
1200
00:56:39,012 --> 00:56:40,052
That's a strong word, baby.
1201
00:56:40,142 --> 00:56:41,842
I know,
1202
00:56:41,932 --> 00:56:43,182
but see, with doctors,
1203
00:56:43,262 --> 00:56:45,642
we like experiments to them.
1204
00:56:45,682 --> 00:56:48,183
They don't care about
a colored woman's health
1205
00:56:48,273 --> 00:56:51,313
unless it's to teach 'em
how to fix up white folks.
1206
00:56:51,363 --> 00:56:53,563
I had this one doctor...
1207
00:56:53,653 --> 00:56:54,773
He all right,
1208
00:56:54,863 --> 00:56:57,114
he's some kind of specialist
or something...
1209
00:56:57,204 --> 00:57:01,534
And he, uh, he got in a fight
with one of the other doctors
1210
00:57:01,624 --> 00:57:02,994
and took over my case,
1211
00:57:03,084 --> 00:57:06,995
and he said that I have
something called sarcoidosis.
1212
00:57:07,085 --> 00:57:08,545
Is that...
1213
00:57:08,625 --> 00:57:10,795
No, no.
It is not cancer.
1214
00:57:10,885 --> 00:57:13,506
But I had these fibroids
on my lymph nodes
1215
00:57:13,556 --> 00:57:14,716
that were removed,
1216
00:57:14,806 --> 00:57:17,426
and I had tumors, too.
1217
00:57:17,516 --> 00:57:19,846
And, uh...
1218
00:57:23,227 --> 00:57:25,187
They, uh...
1219
00:57:31,698 --> 00:57:33,408
...they took my insides out.
1220
00:57:33,488 --> 00:57:35,028
They took...
1221
00:57:35,078 --> 00:57:37,618
Y-You had a hysterectomy?
1222
00:57:37,698 --> 00:57:39,619
And I feel...
1223
00:57:39,709 --> 00:57:44,499
Like everything
that make me a woman is gone.
1224
00:57:46,089 --> 00:57:47,500
Empty.
1225
00:57:47,590 --> 00:57:50,460
Broke,
in a way that can't be fixed.
1226
00:57:50,550 --> 00:57:51,970
I feel this...
1227
00:57:52,050 --> 00:57:53,890
Burning in my heart...
1228
00:57:53,970 --> 00:57:55,551
I'm so sorry.
1229
00:57:55,641 --> 00:57:59,471
I got all these questions,
you know, like,
1230
00:57:59,561 --> 00:58:01,271
why me?
1231
00:58:01,351 --> 00:58:04,562
Why can't I carry a child
like I've always hoped for?
1232
00:58:04,652 --> 00:58:09,322
Why the one...
One doctor that I trust
1233
00:58:09,402 --> 00:58:11,942
let this happen to me?
1234
00:58:12,032 --> 00:58:15,623
It's like he took away
this opportunity
1235
00:58:15,703 --> 00:58:17,913
for us to have a family.
1236
00:58:40,936 --> 00:58:43,396
We will get through this.
1237
00:58:45,106 --> 00:58:46,907
All I want is you.
1238
00:58:49,407 --> 00:58:53,077
Family begins with you...
1239
00:58:53,157 --> 00:58:56,288
However, and whatever,
that looks like.
1240
00:59:02,168 --> 00:59:04,259
So come on...
1241
00:59:04,339 --> 00:59:07,129
Step into the magic circle
with me.
1242
00:59:08,849 --> 00:59:10,719
Now...
1243
00:59:10,809 --> 00:59:14,310
When are you gonna let me
carry you over that stoop?
1244
00:59:14,350 --> 00:59:15,730
Ouch.
1245
00:59:15,810 --> 00:59:18,650
Ah, don't make me laugh.
1246
00:59:24,361 --> 00:59:27,701
Russell, you the one thing
I can decide on
1247
00:59:27,781 --> 00:59:30,122
that I don't have to pray on.
1248
00:59:35,792 --> 00:59:37,712
Dear lord,
1249
00:59:37,792 --> 00:59:42,343
you said be strong
and let your heart take courage.
1250
00:59:42,383 --> 00:59:44,963
Well, I've been praying
over this contract,
1251
00:59:45,013 --> 00:59:47,094
and you either want me
to sign this
1252
00:59:47,184 --> 00:59:49,474
or convert to being a lawyer.
1253
00:59:51,224 --> 00:59:54,024
Are you opening a new gate...
1254
00:59:54,064 --> 00:59:55,935
Like in the Bible?
1255
00:59:56,025 --> 00:59:58,565
"Behold,
I'm doing a new thing..."
1256
00:59:59,815 --> 01:00:03,946
...or is this really a deal
with the CBS devil?
1257
01:00:17,927 --> 01:00:20,217
Is that one of the new songs
from Columbia?
1258
01:00:20,257 --> 01:00:21,258
Yep!
1259
01:00:21,348 --> 01:00:22,888
They confident she gonna sign.
1260
01:00:22,968 --> 01:00:24,098
I don't know,
1261
01:00:24,178 --> 01:00:26,308
it sounds different
than her other material.
1262
01:00:26,388 --> 01:00:27,638
It's too pop.
1263
01:00:27,728 --> 01:00:29,599
It's a "sweetened water" song.
1264
01:00:31,149 --> 01:00:32,269
If she sings this,
1265
01:00:32,319 --> 01:00:34,819
I'll have to fight
to find its salvation.
1266
01:00:35,779 --> 01:00:36,939
I'm gonna have them
1267
01:00:37,029 --> 01:00:39,150
put it in here
that I ain't doing no radio show
1268
01:00:39,240 --> 01:00:40,950
unless you the writer,
1269
01:00:41,030 --> 01:00:42,320
studs.
1270
01:00:42,410 --> 01:00:45,200
Now, CBS said
you on the blacklist?
1271
01:00:45,290 --> 01:00:48,121
Well, hell,
I'm on the "blacklist" too.
1272
01:00:48,211 --> 01:00:50,711
I'm afraid
you're mixing with an agitator.
1273
01:00:50,791 --> 01:00:52,251
But you do the show
no matter what.
1274
01:00:52,291 --> 01:00:53,251
You don't worry about me.
1275
01:00:53,341 --> 01:00:54,341
Well, I ain't.
1276
01:00:54,421 --> 01:00:55,752
I'm worried about being
1277
01:00:55,842 --> 01:00:58,712
in millions of white folks'
living rooms by myself.
1278
01:00:58,802 --> 01:00:59,882
I need you!
1279
01:00:59,972 --> 01:01:01,222
I'd follow you anywhere...
1280
01:01:02,262 --> 01:01:04,143
As long as you don't
try to redeem me.
1281
01:01:04,223 --> 01:01:08,183
Ooh! If I could get you saved,
we'd be all right!
1282
01:01:08,273 --> 01:01:11,023
She's been playing one of those
new "sweetened-water songs."
1283
01:01:12,774 --> 01:01:13,694
John.
1284
01:01:13,774 --> 01:01:17,444
Don't tell the man
all our secrets.
1285
01:01:17,494 --> 01:01:20,364
Now, if you want
some sweet water.
1286
01:01:20,454 --> 01:01:21,575
Uh, no, thanks, Mahalia.
1287
01:01:21,665 --> 01:01:23,035
I don't like that southern tea.
1288
01:01:23,125 --> 01:01:24,915
I ain't getting you tea!
1289
01:01:26,335 --> 01:01:28,875
I take it
you don't want her to sign.
1290
01:01:28,965 --> 01:01:31,086
Columbia don't know our music.
1291
01:01:31,176 --> 01:01:32,836
Mama will lose the audience
that brought her up.
1292
01:01:32,926 --> 01:01:36,346
They'll wanna add
symphonies and big bands.
1293
01:01:36,426 --> 01:01:38,637
And probably, first thing,
they'll fire Mildred.
1294
01:01:38,717 --> 01:01:41,387
Ain't nobody ask you
about no Columbia records.
1295
01:01:41,477 --> 01:01:44,347
And ain't nobody
gonna fire Mildred.
1296
01:01:44,437 --> 01:01:46,017
Here you go, studs.
1297
01:01:46,107 --> 01:01:48,478
Oh!
1298
01:01:48,568 --> 01:01:50,278
I-I didn't think
you drank whiskey.
1299
01:01:50,358 --> 01:01:52,698
I ain't gonna say if I do
or if I don't,
1300
01:01:52,778 --> 01:01:55,029
but there will always be
a bottle in my home
1301
01:01:55,119 --> 01:01:56,279
for you, studs.
1302
01:01:56,369 --> 01:01:57,579
Without you,
1303
01:01:57,659 --> 01:02:01,539
I would've sold
a couple million less records,
1304
01:02:01,619 --> 01:02:04,120
and Mildred'd still be poor.
1305
01:02:04,210 --> 01:02:06,380
Don't give her none.
1306
01:02:06,460 --> 01:02:09,670
So, if we gon' do this,
how's it gonna work?
1307
01:02:09,760 --> 01:02:12,721
I figure it will go
like our other interviews,
1308
01:02:12,801 --> 01:02:14,091
only more in-depth.
1309
01:02:14,181 --> 01:02:16,511
I'll ask questions about
1310
01:02:16,601 --> 01:02:18,431
the background of the songs,
or where they come from.
1311
01:02:18,511 --> 01:02:19,851
-Mm-hmm.
-We'll do an episode
1312
01:02:19,891 --> 01:02:22,312
on your relationship
with Thomas Dorsey, of course.
1313
01:02:22,392 --> 01:02:24,062
And one of you growing up
in New Orleans,
1314
01:02:24,152 --> 01:02:27,022
and another about your travels
in the south.
1315
01:02:29,653 --> 01:02:30,903
So you want me to say...
1316
01:02:31,993 --> 01:02:32,993
...how, when I go up
1317
01:02:33,073 --> 01:02:35,363
in a department store
in the south,
1318
01:02:35,413 --> 01:02:37,413
how I can't get a sandwich,
1319
01:02:37,493 --> 01:02:39,244
or a bottle of pop?
1320
01:02:39,334 --> 01:02:41,124
How I can't even get a cab,
1321
01:02:41,204 --> 01:02:43,374
or when
I'm driving in a nice car,
1322
01:02:43,414 --> 01:02:46,425
how I got to play the "mammy"
when the police pull me over,
1323
01:02:46,505 --> 01:02:49,635
call me a "nigger woman,"
and shake me down for my money?
1324
01:02:52,845 --> 01:02:54,345
That's what you want?
1325
01:02:54,385 --> 01:02:56,556
You want me
to air the truth, right?
1326
01:02:56,646 --> 01:02:57,766
I do, Mahalia.
1327
01:02:57,856 --> 01:02:58,806
But...
1328
01:02:58,896 --> 01:03:00,936
I know, baby.
1329
01:03:01,026 --> 01:03:03,687
We both blacklisted.
1330
01:03:04,697 --> 01:03:06,697
Only difference...
1331
01:03:06,777 --> 01:03:09,197
I can't never
get off that list.
1332
01:03:11,737 --> 01:03:13,538
CBS is very proud to bring you,
1333
01:03:13,618 --> 01:03:15,578
live from our studio in Chicago,
1334
01:03:15,618 --> 01:03:17,368

1349
01:04:05,974 --> 01:04:07,304
Ike came by last night.
1350
01:04:08,634 --> 01:04:09,724
What, to give you a Valentine?
1351
01:04:09,804 --> 01:04:11,094
To see the new house.
1352
01:04:12,725 --> 01:04:14,355
How much you "loan" him
this time?
1353

keep giving anyway.
1356
01:04:20,065 --> 01:04:21,816
God made the marriage.
1357
01:04:21,906 --> 01:04:26,156
We supposed to be together
for a lifetime of somethin'.
1358
01:04:26,246 --> 01:04:29,036
Now, Ike...
1359
01:04:29,117 --> 01:04:31,287
Ike ain't no partner,
like Russell.
1360
01:04:33,247 --> 01:04:36,337
We supposed to build
a temple together.
1361
01:04:36,417 --> 01:04:39,508
Well, I do hope you and Russell
find time to get married,
1362
01:04:39,588 --> 01:04:42,258
as crazy and busy
as your life is getting.
1363
01:04:47,929 --> 01:04:49,559
Halie?
1364
01:04:49,639 --> 01:04:51,689
What's on your mind?
1365
01:04:55,610 --> 01:04:59,070
It's like the people either
love me or hate me.
1366
01:04:59,150 --> 01:05:00,860
And they feel so strong,
1367
01:05:00,950 --> 01:05:02,820
it's overwhelming.
1368
01:05:02,910 --> 01:05:05,701
Like, I get
all this fan mail,
1369
01:05:05,791 --> 01:05:07,371
then I got a letter
and it said,
1370
01:05:07,451 --> 01:05:10,081
"please don't be a Beulah.
1371
01:05:10,161 --> 01:05:11,251
For the sake of our race,
1372
01:05:11,331 --> 01:05:13,332
talk as intelligent
as you sing."
1373
01:05:13,422 --> 01:05:14,792
Mm-hmm.
1374
01:05:14,842 --> 01:05:16,882
Then all these white folks,
they come to my concerts,
1375
01:05:16,962 --> 01:05:19,132
and they tell me
how wonderful I am,
1376
01:05:19,222 --> 01:05:22,013
then they get mad when I buy
a home in their neighborhood,
1377
01:05:22,093 --> 01:05:23,883
and shoot out
my picture window.
1378
01:05:23,973 --> 01:05:26,013
I told you not to move
to Chatham village.
1379
01:05:26,103 --> 01:05:29,814
Isn't a dream home supposed
to be wherever you dream?
1380
01:05:31,194 --> 01:05:33,314
Did you get that window fixed?
1381
01:05:33,404 --> 01:05:36,064
I got that repairman to put up
something else, too.
1382
01:05:37,194 --> 01:05:39,655
"Dear lord, in this house,
you are wanted
1383
01:05:39,745 --> 01:05:40,905
and welcome."
1384
01:05:40,995 --> 01:05:42,535
Now, that's
for god's protection.
1385
01:05:42,615 --> 01:05:44,915
Don't you think an armed guard
would be better?
1386
01:05:44,995 --> 01:05:47,836
I got one of them, too,
thanks to mayor Daley.
1387
01:05:47,916 --> 01:05:51,166
Well, who's gonna get
close enough to see this plaque?
1388
01:05:51,256 --> 01:05:52,626
Oh, the people,
1389
01:05:52,716 --> 01:05:55,047
they gather out here
sometimes
1390
01:05:55,137 --> 01:05:57,177
while I'm rehearsing inside.
1391
01:05:57,257 --> 01:06:00,427
It reminds me
of when I was a little girl,
1392
01:06:00,517 --> 01:06:02,387
singing with
them Victrola records,
1393
01:06:02,477 --> 01:06:03,678
and all the people
1394
01:06:03,768 --> 01:06:06,978
would gather outside
my aunt's to hear me sing.
1395
01:06:08,068 --> 01:06:11,018
Are you ever gonna sing
some Bessie Smith for me?
1396
01:06:11,108 --> 01:06:13,189
Oh, now, studs,
if you my true friend,
1397
01:06:13,279 --> 01:06:16,449
you don't ever want me to get to
where I got to sing the blues.
1398
01:06:22,200 --> 01:06:23,910
♪ o holy night... ♪
1399
01:06:24,000 --> 01:06:25,710
I love the house.
1400
01:06:25,790 --> 01:06:26,920
I am so happy for you.
1401
01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:28,250
But three Christmas trees?
1402
01:06:28,290 --> 01:06:29,631
Yeah.
1403
01:06:29,711 --> 01:06:32,421
One for the father, the son,
and the holy spirit.
1404
01:06:32,511 --> 01:06:33,511
I figure,
1405
01:06:33,591 --> 01:06:35,381
why not give 'em all
their own tree?
1406
01:06:38,602 --> 01:06:40,392
I can't take this, Mahalia.
1407
01:06:40,472 --> 01:06:42,012
Yes, you can.
1408
01:06:42,102 --> 01:06:44,812
If it fits.
1409
01:06:46,233 --> 01:06:49,523
How can I represent the people,
looking this fancy?
1410
01:06:49,613 --> 01:06:51,693
Speaking of
representing the people...
1411
01:06:51,783 --> 01:06:55,864
I got a call the other night
on behalf of a young reverend...
1412
01:06:55,954 --> 01:06:57,114
Martin Luther King.
1413
01:06:57,204 --> 01:06:59,994
Says he wants me to sing
at one of his rallies
1414
01:07:00,084 --> 01:07:02,244
for his bus boycott,
1415
01:07:02,334 --> 01:07:03,915
asked me my fee.
1416
01:07:04,005 --> 01:07:05,295
You heard of him?
1417
01:07:05,375 --> 01:07:07,465
'Course I heard of him.
1418
01:07:07,545 --> 01:07:08,965
What you think?
1419
01:07:09,045 --> 01:07:10,295
What'd you say your fee was?
1420
01:07:10,345 --> 01:07:12,346
Aw, hell, studs.
1421
01:07:13,806 --> 01:07:16,976
You know I don't charge
the walkin' people.
1422
01:07:17,056 --> 01:07:18,516
You be careful.
1423
01:07:18,596 --> 01:07:20,687
They play rough down there.
1424
01:07:23,437 --> 01:07:25,357
The Bible tells us
1425
01:07:25,437 --> 01:07:26,567
we are made of both
1426
01:07:26,647 --> 01:07:28,697
a natural body
and a spiritual body.
1427
01:07:28,777 --> 01:07:29,858
-Mm-hmm.
-And I believe,
1428
01:07:29,948 --> 01:07:32,028
sister Mahalia,
that through your voice,
1429
01:07:32,118 --> 01:07:35,038
you are able to connect
the natural and the spiritual
1430
01:07:35,078 --> 01:07:36,538
in a way
that people need today.
1431
01:07:36,578 --> 01:07:38,409
Well, thank you, Dr. King,
1432
01:07:38,499 --> 01:07:41,789
but people need food
more than they need singin'.
1433
01:07:41,879 --> 01:07:45,169
Mahalia's always
cooking up food for people.
1434
01:07:45,259 --> 01:07:46,920
Well, I hope for
the opportunity
1435
01:07:47,010 --> 01:07:48,800
to taste Mahalia's cooking
one day.
1436
01:07:48,880 --> 01:07:49,930
Mm, that's right...
1437
01:07:50,010 --> 01:07:51,470
Get a person's stomach full,
1438
01:07:51,550 --> 01:07:53,390
then you can
talk about salvation.
1439
01:07:58,021 --> 01:08:00,311
I apologize, Dr. King.
1440
01:08:00,401 --> 01:08:02,231
I'm a little nervous.
1441
01:08:02,311 --> 01:08:05,572
Mildred don't like
coming down to the south.
1442
01:08:05,612 --> 01:08:07,902
Dr. Abernathy told us
1443
01:08:07,952 --> 01:08:10,402
how they bombed that church
near his house last week.
1444
01:08:10,492 --> 01:08:11,823
I guess...
1445
01:08:11,913 --> 01:08:14,533
They assumed
it was his church,
1446
01:08:14,623 --> 01:08:18,583
but they bombed
the Methodists instead.
1447
01:08:19,713 --> 01:08:21,924
Oh, lord.
1448
01:08:24,674 --> 01:08:26,674
I don't know
if you been drinking lately,
1449
01:08:26,764 --> 01:08:29,635
but your playing been slipping.
1450
01:08:29,725 --> 01:08:32,435
I'm starting to feel all alone,
up there singing,
1451
01:08:32,515 --> 01:08:34,725
like I don't know who you are.
1452
01:08:34,815 --> 01:08:36,185
And I got a lot on my mind,
1453
01:08:36,225 --> 01:08:39,226
'cause, with Russell,
getting all these medical tests,
1454
01:08:39,316 --> 01:08:42,446
tsk, I don't know
what's going on.
1455
01:08:43,656 --> 01:08:46,447
Even though I know
you don't like the man.
1456
01:08:47,997 --> 01:08:50,117
It's not
that I don't like the man.
1457
01:08:50,207 --> 01:08:52,787
It's how you act around him.
1458
01:08:52,827 --> 01:08:57,288
You shouldn't believe
that you're inferior to any man.
1459
01:09:01,588 --> 01:09:04,969
That's why I left my husband...
1460
01:09:05,049 --> 01:09:07,099
Never felt like
I was good enough for him.
1461
01:09:07,179 --> 01:09:09,259
Hold on. You were married?
1462
01:09:09,349 --> 01:09:11,429
To a preacher.
1463
01:09:11,519 --> 01:09:14,520
I was still married
when I started playing for you.
1464
01:09:14,610 --> 01:09:16,020
Why wouldn't you tell me that?
1465
01:09:16,110 --> 01:09:17,230
Didn't want you to know
1466
01:09:17,320 --> 01:09:19,820
that I had any other concerns
in my life.
1467
01:09:19,900 --> 01:09:21,821
You kept getting rid
of piano players
1468
01:09:21,861 --> 01:09:24,241
for being too unreliable.
1469
01:09:24,321 --> 01:09:27,371
So are you saying
I ended your marriage?
1470
01:09:27,451 --> 01:09:29,792
No.
1471
01:09:29,872 --> 01:09:32,792
Being a preacherman's wife
ended my marriage.
1472
01:09:37,753 --> 01:09:38,963
I'm embarrassed
1473
01:09:39,053 --> 01:09:41,383
you came back after singing
like that tonight,
1474
01:09:41,473 --> 01:09:42,673
and started cooking.
1475
01:09:44,013 --> 01:09:47,764
Well, Coretta didn't
give up her kitchen easy.
1476
01:09:53,314 --> 01:09:55,855
Oh, I believe this pie's
nearly as great as your voice.
1477
01:09:57,485 --> 01:09:59,525
Mm.
1478
01:10:01,035 --> 01:10:02,655
Dr. King...
1479
01:10:02,745 --> 01:10:03,496
Please.
1480
01:10:03,576 --> 01:10:05,366
My Christian name.
1481
01:10:06,496 --> 01:10:08,826
Martin...
1482
01:10:08,916 --> 01:10:11,126
How do we hold on to faith
1483
01:10:11,206 --> 01:10:13,877
when times are so bad?
1484
01:10:16,177 --> 01:10:18,217
Mahalia...
1485
01:10:20,177 --> 01:10:23,218
...faith is something
you can't hold or keep.
1486
01:10:25,058 --> 01:10:28,808
The things most important to us
are invisible...
1487
01:10:28,899 --> 01:10:30,519
Freedom,
1488
01:10:30,569 --> 01:10:32,109
hope,
1489
01:10:32,189 --> 01:10:34,229
love, god...
1490
01:10:36,159 --> 01:10:38,740
...they're all ideas
based on faith.
1491
01:10:38,820 --> 01:10:41,990
Living requires faith,
1492
01:10:42,080 --> 01:10:44,750
whether you accept it
or not.
1493
01:10:44,830 --> 01:10:47,251
So the big question
we all face
1494
01:10:47,291 --> 01:10:48,791
is not
whether to believe or not,
1495
01:10:48,881 --> 01:10:50,421
but what to believe.
1496
01:10:50,461 --> 01:10:53,921
So, if god is personal,
1497
01:10:54,011 --> 01:10:56,262
we each alone in our faith?
1498
01:10:57,842 --> 01:11:00,222
Well...
1499
01:11:00,302 --> 01:11:02,972
Like your sweet potato pie...
1500
01:11:03,062 --> 01:11:05,353
It's going to taste different
to each of us,
1501
01:11:05,433 --> 01:11:07,183
but it's something there
for all to share.
1502
01:11:08,693 --> 01:11:10,603
God made enough for everybody.
1503
01:11:10,653 --> 01:11:11,613
Mm.
1504
01:11:13,694 --> 01:11:19,494
I always dreamed of one day
building my own temple...
1505
01:11:19,574 --> 01:11:21,165
A place of learning.
1506
01:11:21,245 --> 01:11:22,285
Mm.
1507
01:11:22,335 --> 01:11:23,995
Because I always believed
1508
01:11:24,085 --> 01:11:27,545
that everybody deserves
a chance at an education.
1509
01:11:27,625 --> 01:11:30,216
That's a beautiful dream,
Mahalia.
1510
01:11:31,796 --> 01:11:33,386
My aunt Duke
took me outta school
1511
01:11:33,466 --> 01:11:35,846
in the fourth grade...
1512
01:11:35,926 --> 01:11:40,347
So I never felt like
I got to study
1513
01:11:40,437 --> 01:11:42,807
or learn how to read music.
1514
01:11:42,857 --> 01:11:46,478
Well, maybe god doesn't know
how to read music either.
1515
01:11:54,739 --> 01:11:56,159
Back from her world tour,
1516
01:11:56,249 --> 01:11:58,539
please welcome the queen of gospel,
1517
01:11:58,619 --> 01:12:01,499
Grammy-winner Mahalia Jackson!
1518
01:12:01,539 --> 01:12:04,040
You make me feel like a star!
1519
01:12:07,590 --> 01:12:09,170
It's midnight...
1520
01:12:09,260 --> 01:12:11,300
And it's raining...
1521
01:12:11,390 --> 01:12:14,141
But it's Sunday mornin'
1522
01:12:14,221 --> 01:12:15,511

My, my.
1560
01:14:10,014 --> 01:14:12,475
Look at the rain!
1561
01:14:13,815 --> 01:14:16,645
Now it's stopped.
1562
01:14:16,695 --> 01:14:18,945
"To many,
Mahalia Jackson's appearance
1563
01:14:19,025 --> 01:14:21,986
eclipsed all other performances
that night.
1564
01:14:22,076 --> 01:14:23,116
Hers was the set
1565
01:14:23,196 --> 01:14:25,036
that made everyone stop
1566
01:14:25,116 --> 01:14:26,536
and catch their breath."
1567
01:14:26,616 --> 01:14:28,917
Now that's too much.
1568
01:14:28,997 --> 01:14:31,837
And this...
"Miss Jackson's bursts of power
1569
01:14:31,877 --> 01:14:33,917
and sudden rhythmic drives
1570
01:14:34,007 --> 01:14:35,207
build to a pitch
1571
01:14:35,297 --> 01:14:38,338
that leaves you unprepared
to listen afterwards
1572
01:14:38,428 --> 01:14:40,508
to any but the greatest
of musicians."
1573
01:14:44,098 --> 01:14:44,848
There's more?
1574
01:14:44,888 --> 01:14:45,969
Oh, yeah.
1575
01:14:46,019 --> 01:14:48,689
"Mahalia Jackson
has a rapturous quality
1576
01:14:48,769 --> 01:14:49,979
unparalleled on records.
1577
01:14:50,059 --> 01:14:52,309
The accompaniment
hardly counts, so..."
1578
01:14:52,359 --> 01:14:54,189
"The accompaniment
hardly counts?"
1579
01:14:54,229 --> 01:14:55,480
Wait.
1580
01:14:58,240 --> 01:15:00,160
Read here.
1581
01:15:01,160 --> 01:15:03,411
"Mildred falls,
1582
01:15:03,491 --> 01:15:07,251
the supreme gospel pianist..."
1583
01:15:07,331 --> 01:15:09,331
How do you like that,
miss Jackson?
1584
01:15:09,421 --> 01:15:11,291
Well, you still
got me to please.
1585
01:15:15,672 --> 01:15:18,052
Hello?
Mahalia's big wig salon.
1586
01:15:20,763 --> 01:15:22,643
Oh, you think that's funny?
1587
01:15:22,723 --> 01:15:23,763
Mama.
1588
01:15:23,853 --> 01:15:25,683
If you don't stop singing
in them clubs,
1589
01:15:25,773 --> 01:15:27,313
I'm gonna stop
putting you on my program.
1590
01:15:27,393 --> 01:15:30,694
And miss Mildred need to stop
with her poor taste.
1591
01:15:30,774 --> 01:15:32,194
She a reflection of me.
1592
01:15:32,274 --> 01:15:33,614
Mama, you are getting too high.
1593
01:15:33,694 --> 01:15:35,824
How I'm "getting too high"?
1594
01:15:35,904 --> 01:15:37,905
Mahalia?
1595
01:15:40,115 --> 01:15:41,785
Did you know
this was bone cancer?
1596
01:15:41,875 --> 01:15:43,115
I thought
it was bronchitis.
1597
01:15:43,205 --> 01:15:44,745
Why would you
keep this from me?
1598
01:15:44,835 --> 01:15:46,916
Mahalia.
Mahalia, I'm joking.
1599
01:15:47,006 --> 01:15:49,296
As soon as I found out,
I told them to call you.
1600
01:15:49,376 --> 01:15:51,926
Well, when you start treatment?
1601
01:16:02,807 --> 01:16:04,228
My god.
1602
01:16:04,268 --> 01:16:06,978
They say, at this stage,
the chemo would kill me faster.
1603
01:16:07,068 --> 01:16:09,278
Look, my aunt Duke
had remedies,
1604
01:16:09,318 --> 01:16:12,149
like herbs, liquids, powders...
We can try it all.
1605
01:16:12,239 --> 01:16:13,949
I done seen miracles happen.
1606
01:16:14,029 --> 01:16:15,449
I have, too.
1607
01:16:15,529 --> 01:16:17,329
Like when we first met...
1608
01:16:17,409 --> 01:16:20,660
Up all night
in that recording studio,
1609
01:16:20,750 --> 01:16:22,620
and all the people
that song reached?
1610
01:16:22,670 --> 01:16:25,500
But more than your voice,
I love your spirit.
1611
01:16:26,710 --> 01:16:30,801
How you know about life
in ways most people can't see.
1612
01:16:30,841 --> 01:16:33,421
I'm scared
I'm gonna lose that.
1613
01:16:33,471 --> 01:16:36,801
Russell,
you helped me more than god
1614
01:16:36,891 --> 01:16:39,512
when I was
up in the hospital,
1615
01:16:39,602 --> 01:16:42,812
and I ain't never relied on
anybody like... like that before.
1616
01:16:43,982 --> 01:16:45,733
Hold on there.
1617
01:16:45,813 --> 01:16:47,063
You all right.
1618
01:16:47,153 --> 01:16:48,273
Breathe.
1619
01:16:48,323 --> 01:16:52,113
You all right, baby.
You all right.
1620
01:16:56,834 --> 01:16:58,834
You know, my prayers...
1621
01:16:58,914 --> 01:17:00,664
They're feeling
more like wishes now.
1622
01:17:02,004 --> 01:17:04,005
I used to pray...
1623
01:17:04,085 --> 01:17:05,045
That we'd...
1624
01:17:05,135 --> 01:17:07,965
Build a family together,
1625
01:17:08,045 --> 01:17:10,675
have little Mahalias
and Russells
1626
01:17:10,765 --> 01:17:12,846
just running around.
1627
01:17:14,266 --> 01:17:16,686
Would've been beautiful.
1628
01:17:18,766 --> 01:17:20,057
You know...
1629
01:17:20,147 --> 01:17:23,187
I could be the one
to carry you across that stoop.
1630
01:17:27,197 --> 01:17:28,317
You know I could!
1631
01:17:28,407 --> 01:17:30,698
I know you could.

Tell 'em about the dream.
1649
01:19:18,240 --> 01:19:20,321
Go on! Tell 'em!
1650
01:19:37,803 --> 01:19:39,463
Come on now, Mildred!
1651
01:19:39,553 --> 01:19:41,133
You off again.
1652
01:19:41,183 --> 01:19:43,683
Golly!
1653
01:19:43,763 --> 01:19:45,143
What you doing to my voice?
1654
01:19:45,223 --> 01:19:46,894
I got to go home. I'm...
1655
01:19:46,974 --> 01:19:48,514
I'm tired.
1656
01:19:48,564 --> 01:19:50,484
I'm tired, too,
but we got to rehearse. Come on.
1657
01:19:50,564 --> 01:19:51,854
I know you...
1658
01:19:51,944 --> 01:19:54,485
I know pushing hard,
and this your way of mourning.
1659
01:19:54,565 --> 01:19:57,865
I'm so sorry about Russell,
I truly am.
1660
01:19:57,945 --> 01:20:00,155
But I can't work
any more tonight.
1661
01:20:00,205 --> 01:20:02,035
We don't get this right,
1662
01:20:02,115 --> 01:20:04,076
I ain't putting you
on television
1663
01:20:04,166 --> 01:20:06,286
in them cheap-ass
cotton dresses.
1664
01:20:07,376 --> 01:20:09,086
There! I said it.
1665
01:20:09,166 --> 01:20:11,046
I don't like
how you letting yourself go.
1666
01:20:11,086 --> 01:20:12,377
Night, Mahalia.
1667
01:20:12,467 --> 01:20:14,967
This got to do with that
extra $100 a week, don't it?
1668
01:20:15,047 --> 01:20:17,217
That's why
you ain't working hard.
1669
01:20:17,257 --> 01:20:18,547
Look, now, it ain't my fault
1670
01:20:18,637 --> 01:20:20,348
you don't know
how to manage your money.
1671
01:20:20,388 --> 01:20:21,848
Well, it's a sickness!
1672
01:20:21,938 --> 01:20:23,428
And that drinking, too.
1673
01:20:23,518 --> 01:20:25,018
Yeah, I'm drinking.
1674
01:20:25,108 --> 01:20:27,228
I ain't perfect either.
1675
01:20:27,268 --> 01:20:29,899
But the reason I can't
get my money straight
1676
01:20:29,939 --> 01:20:31,229
is 'cause
you too much in charge.
1677
01:20:32,279 --> 01:20:35,239
Why do all my checks
go to you?
1678
01:20:36,319 --> 01:20:37,530
What you getting at?
1679
01:20:37,580 --> 01:20:40,080
How come
everybody pay you my money,
1680
01:20:40,160 --> 01:20:41,660
and then you pay me?
1681
01:20:41,750 --> 01:20:43,620
Why I ain't paid directly?
1682
01:20:43,710 --> 01:20:45,120
I hire you!
1683
01:20:45,210 --> 01:20:48,211
You my piano player.
I ain't your singer.
1684
01:20:48,291 --> 01:20:50,091
You been paying me
the same money
1685
01:20:50,171 --> 01:20:51,341
the past five years
1686
01:20:51,421 --> 01:20:53,261
while your fees,
they just keep growing bigger,
1687
01:20:53,341 --> 01:20:55,432
bigger than your wigs!
1688
01:20:55,512 --> 01:20:57,012
Now you countin' my pockets.
1689
01:20:57,102 --> 01:20:58,342
You slipping.
1690
01:20:58,432 --> 01:21:00,642
I don't even recognize
who you are anymore.
1691
01:21:00,722 --> 01:21:02,933
That's 'cause
you're not looking at me...
1692
01:21:02,983 --> 01:21:05,103
You always think
about yourself first.
1693
01:21:06,193 --> 01:21:08,603
How could
you even fix your mouth
1694
01:21:08,653 --> 01:21:10,443
to say somethin' like that?
1695
01:21:10,533 --> 01:21:12,444
All the people I feed?
1696
01:21:12,494 --> 01:21:15,154
All the scholarships
that I raise money for?
1697
01:21:15,244 --> 01:21:18,414
What would you be
without me?
1698
01:21:19,414 --> 01:21:21,415
Real reason
I'm never good enough,
1699
01:21:21,495 --> 01:21:24,625
the reason
nobody is ever good enough
1700
01:21:24,715 --> 01:21:28,215
is 'cause you don't
feel good enough yourself.
1701
01:21:28,295 --> 01:21:29,256
Get out.
1702
01:21:29,346 --> 01:21:31,346
Go on. Get out.
1703
01:21:31,426 --> 01:21:34,466
I can have any piano player
I want in the world.
1704
01:21:34,556 --> 01:21:36,136
I'm Mahalia Jackson.
1705
01:21:36,186 --> 01:21:39,017
And I don't need
no Mildred falls!
1706
01:21:40,057 --> 01:21:43,357
You want perfect
but you sure don't give it.
1707
01:21:43,437 --> 01:21:45,528
Ain't nobody perfect!
1708
01:21:45,608 --> 01:21:48,448
God accepts our imperfections!
1709
01:21:48,528 --> 01:21:51,318
Why can't you,
"Mahalia Jackson"?
1710
01:21:55,459 --> 01:21:57,209
Mildred.
1711
01:21:57,289 --> 01:21:59,419
Mildred, hey...
1712
01:22:02,209 --> 01:22:04,670
Oh, god...
1713
01:22:11,851 --> 01:22:13,801
Oh, god.
1714
01:22:15,561 --> 01:22:17,521
Where you at?
1715
01:22:21,152 --> 01:22:23,362
Oh...
1716
01:22:29,823 --> 01:22:32,323
Ohh...
1717
01:22:33,333 --> 01:22:35,543
Hello...
1718
01:22:36,833 --> 01:22:38,704
...heartbreak.
1719
01:22:41,884 --> 01:22:45,384

The wedding
1729
01:23:25,309 --> 01:23:27,259
of gospel singer Mahalia Jackson
1730
01:23:27,309 --> 01:23:29,600
to salesman-musician minters Galloway
1731
01:23:29,680 --> 01:23:31,600
came as a complete surprise.
1732
01:23:31,690 --> 01:23:33,850
She has sung before queens and presidents,
1733
01:23:33,940 --> 01:23:35,150
stunned musicologists,
1734
01:23:35,230 --> 01:23:36,480
overflowed such world-renowned music halls
1735
01:23:36,570 --> 01:23:38,441
as the state opera in Vienna
1736
01:23:38,481 --> 01:23:40,281
and Albert hall in London,
1737
01:23:40,361 --> 01:23:42,651
and five times faced a standing-room only audience
1738
01:23:42,741 --> 01:23:45,241
in Carnegie hall.
1739
01:23:45,281 --> 01:23:46,412
How is my wife feeling today?
1740
01:23:46,452 --> 01:23:48,702
Married.
1741
01:23:48,792 --> 01:23:50,952
I love you, too.
1742
01:23:52,712 --> 01:23:55,463
I'll toast to that.
1743
01:24:14,815 --> 01:24:16,905
It's new year's Eve.
Can't we serve more than punch?
1744
01:24:16,985 --> 01:24:19,275
I'm gonna punch you
if you say another word.
1745
01:24:21,696 --> 01:24:23,496
I'm kinda thirsty.
1746
01:24:23,576 --> 01:24:25,866
Would anybody else
like a real drink?
1747
01:24:25,956 --> 01:24:27,496
I'll take one.
1748
01:24:42,268 --> 01:24:44,348
Did you kiss Martin goodbye?
1749
01:24:44,438 --> 01:24:45,889
I'm gonna kiss you goodbye
1750
01:24:45,979 --> 01:24:47,849
the next time
you embarrass me like that.
1751
01:24:47,939 --> 01:24:49,859
Now, what you need
to go get that beer for?
1752
01:24:49,939 --> 01:24:51,569
Well, I can drink
in my own house.
1753
01:24:51,649 --> 01:24:53,609
Your house?
1754
01:24:53,699 --> 01:24:54,690
Woman,
1755
01:24:54,780 --> 01:24:56,030
is this not my house?
1756
01:24:57,240 --> 01:24:59,450
Of course, it is, dear,
1757
01:24:59,530 --> 01:25:04,041
but ministers
should only be served coffee.
1758
01:25:04,081 --> 01:25:05,411
Come on, baby.
1759
01:25:05,501 --> 01:25:07,961
This is Chicago,
not some backwoods town.
1760
01:25:08,041 --> 01:25:11,212
Most of those ministers drink
and you know it.
1761
01:25:11,252 --> 01:25:12,712
You disrespectful.
1762
01:25:12,762 --> 01:25:14,762
So, if I'm gonna
drink in my house,
1763
01:25:14,842 --> 01:25:17,222
then I'm gonna need to offer it,
1764
01:25:17,262 --> 01:25:20,343
otherwise what sort of manners
would that be?
1765
01:25:25,773 --> 01:25:27,893
Mahalia?
1766
01:25:35,494 --> 01:25:37,575
Stop messing around.
1767
01:25:39,375 --> 01:25:41,415
Mahalia?
1768
01:25:53,346 --> 01:25:54,557
Hey, Martin.
1769
01:25:54,637 --> 01:25:57,217
I'm in town for the day,
Mr. Galloway.
1770
01:25:57,307 --> 01:25:58,807
I've come to see Mahalia.
1771
01:25:58,897 --> 01:26:00,267
She's not feeling well.
1772
01:26:00,347 --> 01:26:01,897
That's why I've come.
1773
01:26:01,937 --> 01:26:04,438
She needs her rest,
reverend king.
1774
01:26:04,528 --> 01:26:06,898
Son, open the door.
1775
01:26:08,318 --> 01:26:10,908
I'm going to see Mahalia now.
1776
01:26:25,460 --> 01:26:27,050
It's...
1777
01:26:27,130 --> 01:26:31,631
Easier when we have the devil
to point to,
1778
01:26:31,681 --> 01:26:33,801
like the devil bull Connor
1779
01:26:33,851 --> 01:26:35,301
with his police
and their dogs,
1780
01:26:35,391 --> 01:26:38,142
but now
the work's getting harder.
1781
01:26:39,812 --> 01:26:41,482
The hate against us
is still there,
1782
01:26:41,562 --> 01:26:43,602
but it's more hidden.
1783
01:26:44,862 --> 01:26:49,283
It's not the devil outside
but the devil within I fear.
1784
01:26:50,363 --> 01:26:52,153
That's where I struggle.
1785
01:26:52,203 --> 01:26:55,164
It's where
I struggle, too, Martin.
1786
01:26:56,244 --> 01:26:59,584
Except for your visits...
1787
01:26:59,664 --> 01:27:02,004
I feel so alone.
1788
01:27:02,044 --> 01:27:05,175
It don't even feel like
god's listening anymore.
1789
01:27:07,215 --> 01:27:11,056
My boy, John, won't speak to me,
says I've gotten too high.
1790
01:27:11,136 --> 01:27:14,516
Minters says
I've gotten too low,
1791
01:27:14,556 --> 01:27:16,516
too selfish.
1792
01:27:17,606 --> 01:27:19,016
He wants
my temple money
1793
01:27:19,066 --> 01:27:20,477
to build a hotel.
1794
01:27:22,277 --> 01:27:24,317
I don't know what to do.
1795
01:27:24,407 --> 01:27:28,738
That man gives you so little
for all the big taking he does.
1796
01:27:28,828 --> 01:27:30,658
He may look like Russell,
1797
01:27:30,708 --> 01:27:32,288
but he ain't
nothing like Russell.
1798
01:27:34,168 --> 01:27:36,709
He do look like him,
don't he?
1799
01:27:37,879 --> 01:27:39,339
People been saying that,
1800
01:27:39,379 --> 01:27:41,509
but when you say it,
it feel so true.
1801
01:27:42,679 --> 01:27:45,430
Oh, lord...
1802
01:27:45,510 --> 01:27:47,340
What have I done?
1803
01:27:48,510 --> 01:27:51,680
It's like I've been so busy
spreading the gospel,
1804
01:27:51,730 --> 01:27:53,730
I done forgot how to live it.
1805
01:27:53,810 --> 01:27:55,901
Mm.
1806
01:27:55,981 --> 01:27:58,361
Russell...
1807
01:27:58,401 --> 01:28:01,191
I shoulda married him,
1808
01:28:01,241 --> 01:28:03,742
had a couple of good years
together.
1809
01:28:03,782 --> 01:28:05,202
But you did.
1810
01:28:05,282 --> 01:28:07,532
You had the love
you were supposed to,
1811
01:28:07,622 --> 01:28:09,412
but now you gotta ask
if you've strayed.
1812
01:28:09,492 --> 01:28:11,743
No, I pray every day.
I've never stopped praying.
1813
01:28:11,833 --> 01:28:13,703
But Mahalia,
are you listening?
1814
01:28:14,793 --> 01:28:16,753
Can you still hear
what he say?
1815
01:28:16,793 --> 01:28:18,923
I don't know...
1816
01:28:20,714 --> 01:28:23,924
The first time god spoke,
1817
01:28:24,014 --> 01:28:26,434
when I came up out that water,
1818
01:28:26,474 --> 01:28:29,435
the joy in my faith
ain't never been greater.
1819
01:28:29,515 --> 01:28:31,265
It's that feeling
that you know.
1820
01:28:31,315 --> 01:28:32,975
That you know,
that you know.
1821
01:28:33,065 --> 01:28:35,525
That you know,
100% in your body.
1822
01:28:35,605 --> 01:28:37,276
I don't tell people this,
1823
01:28:37,366 --> 01:28:39,446
but I was once driving home
to Atlanta
1824
01:28:39,486 --> 01:28:40,486
when god spoke,
1825
01:28:40,526 --> 01:28:42,116
and I found myself,
for two hours,
1826
01:28:42,156 --> 01:28:44,446
floating up above the road,
1827
01:28:44,496 --> 01:28:46,157
hovering up over everything.
1828
01:28:46,247 --> 01:28:49,827
Did you feel his voice?
1829
01:28:49,917 --> 01:28:51,127
Like, um...
1830
01:28:51,207 --> 01:28:52,797
Like a burning bush?
1831
01:28:52,837 --> 01:28:54,758
You know.
You understand.
1832
01:28:55,758 --> 01:28:58,218
One night, in Mississippi,
1833
01:28:58,298 --> 01:29:01,048
god healed a man
through my music.
1834
01:29:01,138 --> 01:29:04,259
I mean, the man just jumped up
out of his wheelchair.
1835
01:29:04,349 --> 01:29:06,139
-It happened.
-I believe you.
1836
01:29:06,189 --> 01:29:10,399
God's always talking
to all of us, but it's...
1837
01:29:10,479 --> 01:29:13,270
So hard to listen.
1838
01:29:14,780 --> 01:29:17,320
How are you doing, baby?
1839
01:29:19,871 --> 01:29:22,161
I've missed you.
1840
01:29:24,121 --> 01:29:26,041
When I come beside you,
1841
01:29:26,121 --> 01:29:27,251
I don't feel
1842
01:29:27,331 --> 01:29:30,172
the dread I feel
every other day of my life.
1843
01:29:31,212 --> 01:29:32,502
What's troubling you?
1844
01:29:33,672 --> 01:29:36,172
I get this feeling
1845
01:29:36,222 --> 01:29:38,883
god wants something from me,
1846
01:29:38,973 --> 01:29:42,343
and I don't know if I have
the strength to give it.
1847
01:29:44,143 --> 01:29:46,024
I just want to go home.
1848
01:29:47,644 --> 01:29:50,144
But I don't know
where that is anymore.
1849
01:29:53,614 --> 01:29:56,285
If I go before you...
1850
01:29:57,325 --> 01:30:00,365
...will you sing our song
at the funeral?
1851
01:30:00,415 --> 01:30:02,876
Don't you dare
leave me here by myself.
1852
01:30:02,916 --> 01:30:06,376
You will never be alone
when you use your gift right.
1853
01:30:08,626 --> 01:30:10,506
Sing it for me now?
1854
01:30:12,797 --> 01:30:14,337
Only if you sing it with me.

James Baldwin, Dinah shore,
Jesse Jackson...

They're all turning up
1895
01:33:44,201 --> 01:33:45,952
for your comeback celebration
tomorrow.
1896
01:33:46,002 --> 01:33:48,622
I ain't been nowhere, but...
1897
01:33:48,712 --> 01:33:50,622
Sick, broke,
1898
01:33:50,672 --> 01:33:52,542
and divorced...
1899
01:33:52,632 --> 01:33:54,963
Again.
1900
01:33:57,053 --> 01:34:00,133
I see you was
in the paper this morning,
1901
01:34:00,223 --> 01:34:02,594
being interviewed,
instead of the other way around.
1902
01:34:02,684 --> 01:34:04,144
Everybody thinks
I discovered you,
1903
01:34:04,224 --> 01:34:07,014
and to tell you the truth,
for some stupid moments,
1904
01:34:07,104 --> 01:34:08,604
I believed them, too.
1905
01:34:08,684 --> 01:34:10,684
So you finally believe?
1906
01:34:10,775 --> 01:34:13,315
You understand
1907
01:34:13,365 --> 01:34:16,195
that only god discovered me?
1908
01:34:16,285 --> 01:34:17,275
No.
1909
01:34:17,325 --> 01:34:19,326
I mean the people
on the south side,
1910
01:34:19,406 --> 01:34:20,746
especially the ones
1911
01:34:20,826 --> 01:34:22,956
in that little storefront church
where you started out.
1912
01:34:23,036 --> 01:34:25,326
They're the real people
that discovered you.
1913
01:34:25,376 --> 01:34:27,336
Don't start worshipping me.
1914
01:34:27,416 --> 01:34:29,757
You gotta put your faith
in god.
1915
01:34:29,837 --> 01:34:32,167
You're the truest person
I know.
1916
01:34:37,768 --> 01:34:40,268
I ain't perfect.
1917
01:34:41,438 --> 01:34:43,388
I got my demons.
1918
01:34:43,478 --> 01:34:46,019
Yes, Mahalia. We all do.
1919
01:34:46,109 --> 01:34:48,269
But you never quit fighting
for yours,
1920
01:34:48,359 --> 01:34:51,189
you never quit trying
to live up to your beliefs.
1921
01:34:51,239 --> 01:34:55,320
I hear the joy in your voice
and also the struggles.
1922
01:34:55,370 --> 01:34:58,700
We ain't any of us perfect...
1923
01:34:59,830 --> 01:35:02,040
...but when you sing,
oh, lord,
1924
01:35:02,121 --> 01:35:04,041
it feels like we could be.
1925
01:35:09,801 --> 01:35:12,092
...I mean,
without these wigs...
1926
01:35:12,172 --> 01:35:15,092
I don't think the people
gonna recognize me.
1927
01:35:15,182 --> 01:35:16,182
Hold still.
1928
01:35:16,222 --> 01:35:17,682
I know what I'm doing.
1929
01:35:17,762 --> 01:35:19,553
Been doing this longer
than you ever did.
1930
01:35:19,643 --> 01:35:21,063
Sometimes, I wonder,
1931
01:35:21,103 --> 01:35:23,313
if I would've just kept
running the hair salon,
1932
01:35:23,393 --> 01:35:25,893
and not let everything else
get so big...
1933
01:35:27,313 --> 01:35:28,524
-What's so funny?
-Uh-huh.
1934
01:35:28,574 --> 01:35:31,574
Halie, nothing about you
has ever been small,
1935
01:35:31,614 --> 01:35:34,284
even when you didn't
have a stitch to your name.
1936
01:35:34,364 --> 01:35:37,245
You've been on a mission
since I met you.
1937
01:35:40,335 --> 01:35:42,795
Remember when I sent you
to that... that music lesson?
1938
01:35:42,875 --> 01:35:43,915
Mm-hmm.
1939
01:35:44,005 --> 01:35:46,546
You tried calling me a...
1940
01:35:46,636 --> 01:35:48,256
A "high-society negro."
1941
01:35:48,346 --> 01:35:51,466
Said how you never
were gonna learn how to sing
1942
01:35:51,556 --> 01:35:52,966
to "please white people."
1943
01:35:53,056 --> 01:35:55,267
What, you saying
I'm a hypocrite?
1944
01:35:55,307 --> 01:35:56,597
Mm-mm. Not at all.
1945
01:35:56,647 --> 01:35:59,057
See, all them white folks...
1946
01:35:59,147 --> 01:36:00,307
They came to you.
1947
01:36:00,397 --> 01:36:02,478
They the ones that changed,
1948
01:36:02,568 --> 01:36:04,228
not you.
1949
01:36:07,908 --> 01:36:11,119
That... is what
I wish you could see.
1950
01:36:11,199 --> 01:36:13,699
Why do I feel like
something's missing?
1951
01:36:13,789 --> 01:36:17,249
Well, you have lost
a lot of people in your life.
1952
01:36:21,670 --> 01:36:24,250
Thank god, you still here.
1953
01:36:24,340 --> 01:36:26,760
That's because I quit
playing piano for you.
1954
01:36:28,681 --> 01:36:30,091
Lord help anybody
1955
01:36:30,181 --> 01:36:32,101
that come between your singing
and god.
1956
01:36:32,141 --> 01:36:33,971
What's that supposed to mean?
1957
01:36:34,021 --> 01:36:36,311
That, at your best,
1958
01:36:36,392 --> 01:36:39,312
god wasn't the only one
up on that stage with you.
1959
01:36:41,772 --> 01:36:44,442
After all these years,
1960
01:36:44,492 --> 01:36:47,113
you ever think about
reaching out to Mildred?
1961
01:36:47,203 --> 01:36:49,953
Well, I hear
she's not doing too well.
1962
01:36:50,033 --> 01:36:52,163
Well, unless you blind,
1963
01:36:52,203 --> 01:36:54,994
hearing ain't the same
as seeing.
1964
01:36:59,634 --> 01:37:02,004
-Hi.
-Hello there!
1965
01:37:02,095 --> 01:37:04,675
Look what the cat
done dragged in.
1966
01:37:04,715 --> 01:37:05,595
Mm-hmm.
1967
01:37:05,675 --> 01:37:06,965
You look good, Mahalia.
1968
01:37:07,015 --> 01:37:09,935
Your comeback,
it brought me luck.
1969
01:37:10,015 --> 01:37:11,226
Oh, lord.
1970
01:37:11,266 --> 01:37:12,646
I took the purse at Hawthorne
in the second.
1971
01:37:12,726 --> 01:37:15,266
Whew, talk about a beauty.
1972
01:37:15,356 --> 01:37:16,226
Ike.
1973
01:37:16,316 --> 01:37:17,976
You're like a bad penny.
1974
01:37:18,066 --> 01:37:19,687
How you doing, Estelle?
1975
01:37:19,777 --> 01:37:21,697
How you keep looking so young?
1976
01:37:21,737 --> 01:37:22,857
I pay my debts.
1977
01:37:22,947 --> 01:37:25,367
Well, then... here.
1978
01:37:25,407 --> 01:37:28,408
Ah, you old fool,
it ain't Valentine's.
1979
01:37:28,498 --> 01:37:29,958
Well, I figure
ain't no telling
1980
01:37:30,038 --> 01:37:33,708
if we both still here
by next Valentine's, so.
1981
01:37:35,748 --> 01:37:37,419
Ike...
1982
01:37:37,509 --> 01:37:39,709
You ain't never
paid back before.
1983
01:37:41,299 --> 01:37:44,219
You trying to make
a comeback, too?
1984
01:37:44,299 --> 01:37:45,680
Nah.
1985
01:37:45,720 --> 01:37:47,430
We too late for that.
1986
01:37:47,520 --> 01:37:48,680
I guess I'm still
trying to prove
1987
01:37:48,730 --> 01:37:50,060
the best kind of man I can be.
1988
01:37:51,480 --> 01:37:54,441
The best of my life
was spent with you.
1989
01:37:54,521 --> 01:37:56,271
I remember
every minute we had together.
1990
01:37:56,361 --> 01:37:58,071
Tsk.
1991
01:38:14,753 --> 01:38:16,753
I like your hair.
1992
01:38:16,803 --> 01:38:20,304
Figure about time
to quit the wigs.
1993
01:38:20,384 --> 01:38:23,344
Come on in.
1994
01:38:35,065 --> 01:38:37,446
Don't you have somewhere
you need to be tonight?
1995
01:38:37,526 --> 01:38:39,986
Not for a few hours,
1996
01:38:40,076 --> 01:38:42,946
and how am I
gonna make a comeback when...
1997
01:38:44,076 --> 01:38:47,787
...half of my best voice
is you?
1998
01:38:49,047 --> 01:38:51,667
This time,
I'll get the money right, too.
1999
01:38:54,718 --> 01:38:56,678
Oh, Mildred.
2000
01:38:58,848 --> 01:39:00,968
I heard you was on hard times,
but...
2001
01:39:01,058 --> 01:39:02,969
Arthritis.
2002
01:39:03,059 --> 01:39:04,769
How long you been suffering?
2003
01:39:07,109 --> 01:39:08,809
Is...
2004
01:39:08,859 --> 01:39:11,480
Is this is why
you were drinking?
2005
01:39:12,780 --> 01:39:14,240
I'm sorry.
2006
01:39:14,320 --> 01:39:16,400
I never told you.
2007
01:39:16,490 --> 01:39:18,320
It's my fault.
2008
01:39:21,831 --> 01:39:24,041
Damn.
2009
01:39:24,121 --> 01:39:27,832
It's so good to see you, halie.
2010
01:39:27,882 --> 01:39:30,172
Well, hell,
it's good to see me, too.
2011
01:39:33,592 --> 01:39:36,172
It's good to see you, too.
2012
01:39:37,973 --> 01:39:40,103
I wish you well tonight.
2013
01:39:40,183 --> 01:39:42,313
Why don't you come
up with me?
2014
01:39:42,393 --> 01:39:45,814
Oh, I would love
to have you on that stage.
2015
01:39:45,894 --> 01:39:47,234
You don't have to play!
2016
01:39:47,314 --> 01:39:49,484
No, I ain't stepping on
no stage I ain't playing on.
2017
01:39:51,114 --> 01:39:52,324
Besides...
2018
01:39:52,404 --> 01:39:55,695
I don't think I ever
played perfect for you.
2019
01:39:55,745 --> 01:39:58,455
I never sang perfect either.
2020
01:39:58,535 --> 01:40:00,075
But...
2021
01:40:00,165 --> 01:40:02,836
Closest I've ever been...
2022
01:40:06,626 --> 01:40:08,216
...Was with you.
2023
01:40:10,296 --> 01:40:11,587
Oh.
2024
01:40:11,677 --> 01:40:15,387
Wish god would let us
play together one more time.
2025
01:40:20,398 --> 01:40:22,728
I got the perfect place.
2026
01:40:26,988 --> 01:40:29,199
Oh, my...
2027
01:40:54,642 --> 01:40:55,812
How you all doin'?
2028
01:40:55,892 --> 01:40:58,142
Oh, we're doing good!
2029
01:40:58,232 --> 01:41:00,272
-Amen! Amen!
-Welcome.
2030
01:41:00,352 --> 01:41:03,983
You know the first time
I sang at Carnegie hall,
2031
01:41:04,073 --> 01:41:06,323
I was so scared,
2032
01:41:06,403 --> 01:41:08,863
I forgot the words
to the opening number.
2033
01:41:11,784 --> 01:41:14,164
And I had to look to Mildred
for help.
2034
01:41:14,244 --> 01:41:18,624
She's been my mouthpiece
for 20-some years.
2035
01:41:19,665 --> 01:41:20,665
So...
2036
01:41:20,715 --> 01:41:23,005
What are the words
tonight, Mildred?
2037
01:41:23,085 --> 01:41:24,965
Of what?
2038
01:41:25,055 --> 01:41:26,965
Of the song we gonna sing.
2039
01:41:28,516 --> 01:41:31,476
Go on now!
What you wanna play?
2040
01:41:43,567 --> 01:41:44,988
Let us pray.
2041
01:41:46,618 --> 01:41:47,988
Dear lord,
2042
01:41:48,078 --> 01:41:50,658
I always thought
you demanded perfection
2043
01:41:50,748 --> 01:41:52,538
to deserve your love.
2044
01:41:52,618 --> 01:41:54,289
I didn't understand...
2045
01:41:54,379 --> 01:41:56,629
That you don't need nothing
from us
2046
01:41:56,709 --> 01:41:57,879
but to love each other...
2047
01:41:57,959 --> 01:41:59,089
Amen.
2048
01:41:59,169 --> 01:42:01,169
-...and to help each other.
-That's right.
2049
01:42:01,219 --> 01:42:04,090
Your gift wasn't my voice...
2050
01:42:04,180 --> 01:42:06,890
Your gift
2051
01:42:06,970 --> 01:42:08,220
was my purpose...
2052
01:42:08,310 --> 01:42:09,390
-It still is!
-Mm-hmm.
2053
01:42:09,470 --> 01:42:12,271
...a purpose
that I couldn't find alone,
2054
01:42:12,351 --> 01:42:14,771
so I thank you, father,
2055
01:42:14,861 --> 01:42:16,731
for Mildred falls,
2056
01:42:16,821 --> 01:42:21,192
for all them years,
being the other side of me.
2057
01:42:21,282 --> 01:42:22,942
And I thank you, god,
2058
01:42:23,032 --> 01:42:24,282
for the music.
2059
01:42:24,362 --> 01:42:25,612
Mm!
2060
01:42:25,702 --> 01:42:28,703
It's like you let me
come up out the water again.
2061
01:42:28,743 --> 01:42:29,703
Hallelujah!
2062
01:42:29,793 --> 01:42:31,243
Amen!
2063
01:42:31,333 --> 01:42:32,873
Amen.
2064
01:42:32,913 --> 01:42:34,713
I found my purpose
2065
01:42:34,753 --> 01:42:36,254
and it's singing god's words
2066
01:42:36,334 --> 01:42:38,674
like he's right here
next to me.
2067
01:42:38,714 --> 01:42:40,674
And Mildred helped me,
2068
01:42:40,764 --> 01:42:42,094
'cause she known all along
2069
01:42:42,174 --> 01:42:44,054
that her purpose
was to bang them keys
2070
01:42:44,134 --> 01:42:45,725
like they ain't never
been heard.
2071
01:42:45,805 --> 01:42:47,725
Yes!
2072
01:42:48,975 --> 01:42:51,515
And you all have purpose, too.
2073
01:42:51,605 --> 01:42:52,565
Yes!
2074
01:42:52,645 --> 01:42:56,106
God's gift
is for everybody.
2075
01:42:57,616 --> 01:42:59,026
There ain't no shortcuts.
2076
01:42:59,076 --> 01:43:01,076
