| [00:05] | I want to know what’s underneath. | |
| [00:06] | Which one of CL’s daughters is? | |

| [00:13] | Well, he loved Sunday morning and Saturday night. | |
| [00:15] | – Ms. Franklin! – Welcome to Muscle Shoals. | |
| [00:18] | Fire him, trumpet player. | |
| [00:19] | I wasn’t saying nothing to her. | |
| [00:21] | This was supposed to be my last chance, | |
| [00:22] | my last chance and you ruined it. | |
| [00:24] | Stop it! | |
| [00:26] | For the record, Ted and I have a wonderful marriage. | |
| [00:27] | I am a princess in a fairytale. | |
| [00:30] | Do you have any idea how good you are? | |
| [00:31] | You’re a wonderkind, a wonder child. | |
| [00:33] | When we go back out on the road, | |
| [00:34] | I’m going to take you with me. | |

| [08:55] | Reverend, Reverend, Reverend, | |
| [08:56] | it’s always good to meet you. | |
| [08:57] | Your radio program is a blessing. | |
| [08:59] | We listen to it every week. | |
| [09:01] | And now to see you in person, | |
| [09:03] | please accept this as an expression of our gratitude. | |
| [09:07] | Yes, I’ve got a sweet tooth and it’s going to be satisfied, | |
| [09:10] | thank you so much. | |
| [09:14] | Hey, Little Re. I’m Ronny. | |
| [09:17] | How you feel about your first time? | |
| [09:19] | It wasn’t very good. | |
| [09:21] | Nah, you have a beautiful voice and it’s just going to get better. | |
| [09:24] | – Think so? – I know so. | |
| [09:28] | Thank you. | |
| [09:29] | You’re welcome. Keep your head up. | |
| [09:39] | I’m going to call it the Freedom March. | |
| [09:42] | As Gandhi marches people to the sea, | |
| [09:44] | this summer I’m marching our people | |
| [09:45] | through the streets of Detroit. | |
| [09:46] | Folks onboard, businesses contribute, | |
| [09:48] | we going to make change happen because we going to demand it. | |
| [09:51] | Nobody brings people together like you do. | |
| [09:52] | It’ll be the biggest freedom march in history. | |
| [09:55] | You mean in the state of Michigan. | |
| [09:57] | No, I mean in this country because enough is enough. | |
| [10:02] | Everybody’s coming onboard, not just in Detroit. | |
| [10:05] | That’s why I’m traveling around to churches like | |
| [10:06] | the one I’m preaching out at tonight. | |
| [10:07] | Daddy, I don’t want to say… | |
| [10:08] | To spread the work. | |
| [10:10] | Reverend King’s helping me drum up support coming to | |
| [10:12] | my march and you know all the things that I’ve done, done for that boy. | |
| [10:15] | – Yeah. – Uh-huh, you know that boy. | |
| [10:16] | He owe me. | |
| [10:18] | Though a man like Dr. King really should have his own march. | |
| [10:21] | I mean that would really get a turnout. | |
| [10:27] | Sit down, baby. | |
| [10:42] | Daddy, I know you wanted me to open up before your sermon tonight… | |
| [10:45] | – Mmm-hmm. – But I can’t. | |
| [10:47] | I got her an important audition at the Village Beacon. | |
| [10:56] | You canceling on me? You gave me your word, baby. | |
| [10:58] | It’s for a producer, The Steve Allen Show. | |
| [11:01] | He’s only in town for one night. | |
| [11:03] | I’m moving things forward for myself, you know. | |
| [11:06] | Ted got me booked so the producers could see me live in action. | |
| [11:10] | You can come meet us for a drink after. | |
| [11:13] | You should be playing at bigger clubs than that hole-in-the-wall. | |
| [11:16] | You sang at the Newport Jazz Festival. | |
| [11:21] | It’s a nice place to be singing, Daddy. | |
| [11:23] | Baby, if I didn’t send money every month you wouldn’t | |
| [11:27] | be able to afford to be singing. | |
| [11:29] | I pay for your rent, I pay for your electric bill, | |
| [11:31] | I pay for the meal that’s on this plate. | |
| [11:33] | We don’t need your money. | |
| [11:35] | Oh. Are you going to be in his stable now, huh? | |
| [11:46] | You don’t have to come if you don’t want to, Daddy. | |
| [11:49] | We’d understand if you were too tired after your flight. | |
| [12:06] | My girl can sing, right? | |
| [12:08] | What’d I tell you, my baby’s out of sight. | |
| [12:10] | You’re a wonderful singer, Ms. Franklin. | |
| [12:13] | Thank you. It means a lot coming from you. | |
| [12:15] | These are for you to keep. | |
| [12:17] | It’s her four records on Columbia. | |
| [12:18] | She had two top ten hits on the R&B charts. | |
| [12:21] | Your song choice tonight was interesting, | |
| [12:23] | why the Al Jolson tune? | |
| [12:25] | Well, back in the day my father and I used to love it. | |
| [12:28] | Kind of hokey. | |
| [12:32] | Let’s get you another drink. | |
| [12:36] | Glad to meet you. | |
| [12:37] | Reverend Franklin. | |
| [12:39] | You missed my song, Daddy. | |
| [12:40] | I’m sure you brought the house down. | |
| [12:42] | – How was your sermon? – Oh, it was all right. | |
| [12:45] | I’m sure they’re all excited for your march. | |
| [12:48] | Yes, yes, they are. | |
| [12:51] | So, what do you think? She’s got quite a voice, huh? | |
| [12:54] | My baby girl is on the rise. | |
| [12:56] | You know, your records just don’t capture the energy | |
| [12:58] | you bring in your live performance. | |
| [12:59] | Maybe I’m just better in person. | |
| [13:01] | Aretha’s been soloing in church since she was 12 years old, | |
| [13:04] | not to mention all the years on the Gospel Circuit. | |
| [13:06] | Let’s get down to the nitty gritty. | |
| [13:08] | When can she be on the show? | |
| [13:09] | She’s got a couple open dates the next few weeks. | |
| [13:11] | I remember John Hammond telling me about you after your | |
| [13:13] | first record came out. | |
| [13:15] | Very talented. | |
| [13:16] | Thank you. | |
| [13:18] | Let’s keep in touch, Ms. Franklin. | |
| [13:24] | Now what did he mention Hammond for? | |
| [13:25] | That man ain’t lift a finger to help you get on the show. | |
| [13:28] | That was his nice way of saying no. | |
| [13:32] | There’s a way to talk to these people. | |
| [13:34] | You, you can’t be too pushy. | |
| [13:35] | Okay, you know what. | |
| [13:37] | I don’t know why you two are acting like it didn’t go over. | |
| [13:39] | He loved you and he wants you on the show. | |
| [13:41] | We’re going straight to the top, that’s it. | |
| [13:44] | Drinks on me, drinks on me. | |
| [13:49] | You wonder why things ain’t hitting? | |
| [13:52] | You’re getting bad advice. | |
| [13:56] | He’s hustling for, for us. | |
| [14:00] | He’s hustling for me. | |
| [14:02] | But it’s the wrong kind of hustle, baby. | |
| [14:05] | He runs women. Don’t act like you don’t know. | |
| [14:11] | You gotta step away from him, baby, | |
| [14:13] | he’s dragging you down. | |
| [14:21] | Where’s he off to? | |
| [14:25] | Sit down, baby. | |
| [14:31] | Let me get you another. | |
| [14:49] | You should have been at the radio station this morning. | |
| [14:51] | WKMG, remember? | |
| [14:54] | Mr. Hammond, it won’t happen again. | |
| [14:55] | We screwed up. | |
| [14:58] | Ted and I we’re still like newlyweds, waking up late, | |
| [15:00] | you know, staying out all night. | |
| [15:02] | Actually, as her manager, it was my job to make sure she was there. | |
| [15:05] | She had a late show last night. | |
| [15:07] | A producer from Steve Allen wanted to see her. | |
| [15:10] | Our plan was to wait on that. | |
| [15:12] | But why wait? | |
| [15:14] | He said they’d be in touch. | |
| [15:17] | Sally? | |
| [15:18] | Yes, Mr. Hammond? | |
| [15:20] | Can you get me Norm Chaseman over at ABC, | |
| [15:21] | head of booking for Steve Allen? | |
| [15:23] | Right away. | |
| [15:25] | It wasn’t a question of if we could book | |
| [15:27] | you for Steve Allen. | |
| [15:28] | It was a question of when? | |
| [15:29] | Exactly. | |
| [15:30] | Now, I know we haven’t had the kind of hit that | |
| [15:32] | an artist of your caliber deserves. | |
| [15:34] | Which is why Ted and I are here today. | |
| [15:36] | We, we’re so excited to find out what your plans are for this next record. | |
| [15:39] | Good. Because we’re building a career here. | |
| [15:42] | It’s a daily grind. | |
| [15:44] | Whatever we book you for, you’ve gotta show up. | |
| [15:47] | Your sister, Erma, she never misses a promo date. | |
| [15:50] | Mr. Hammond, I assure you. | |
| [15:53] | I’m not afraid of hard work, | |
| [15:56] | I hope that’s clear. | |
| [15:59] | I have Norm Chaseman on the line. | |
| [16:02] | Norm. How’s the swing? | |
| [16:05] | Yeah? So, listen. | |
| [16:08] | We talked about a slot for Aretha Franklin, you remember? | |
| [16:12] | Yeah. | |
| [16:13] | She’s more than ready, what have you got open? | |
| [16:17] | Yes, that’ll work. | |
| [16:19] | No, let’s book it. | |
| [16:21] | Oh, she’s going to be a great draw for you guys. | |
| [16:24] | Thanks. Yeah, you too. | |
| [16:28] | Your next television appearance, booked. | |
| [16:33] | Thank you, Mr. Hammond. | |
| [16:35] | Now, about your next album. | |
| [16:54] | It sounds a lot like my last record. | |
| [16:56] | All jazz. | |
| [16:58] | You have an orchestra inside of you and | |
| [17:00] | we want to compliment that to surround you with sound. | |
| [17:04] | I want more than that. | |
| [17:05] | Look at Elvis. | |
| [17:06] | He’s got gospel hits and rockabilly hits. | |
| [17:09] | I mean Aretha’s as good as Elvis. | |
| [17:10] | Hell, she’s better. | |
| [17:12] | I can’t be a throwback, times are changing. | |
| [17:14] | Sounds like you want to keep trying a little bit of everything. | |
| [17:17] | I mean the last time it was tender, moving, swinging. | |
| [17:20] | Why can’t she try different things to see what sticks? | |
| [17:23] | Because nothing seems to stick. | |
| [17:25] | It didn’t chart the way we hoped. | |
| [17:27] | Because you’re all over the place. | |
| [17:28] | You gotta let me establish you in a particular vein. | |
| [17:31] | You are a jazz singer. | |
| [17:33] | Mr. Hammond, there’s got to be | |
| [17:35] | more for me than just another jazz record. | |
| [17:37] | What about Sam Cooke? | |
| [17:39] | He brings down the house. | |
| [17:40] | His music is for the lovers and the fighters. | |
| [17:42] | He can sing anything. | |
| [17:43] | I can do that; I know I can. | |
| [17:46] | How about I give you my version of Foggy Day? | |
| [17:48] | It sounds to me like you want to be Judy Garland. | |
| [17:50] | No. But why not? Come on, Mr. Hammond. | |
| [17:54] | You and I both know that I’m going places and so I deserve | |
| [17:57] | to be compared to the best. | |
| [17:59] | I want gold records and I need songs that I, | |
| [18:02] | I can make a killing with. | |
| [18:04] | You want a hit record and I know a thing or | |
| [18:06] | two about what works. | |
| [18:07] | I want to be on that wall. | |

| [24:39] | What was life like before you came to the Big Apple? | |
| [24:41] | Well, I grew up singing on the Gospel Circuit | |
| [24:43] | all over the south. | |
| [24:45] | My daddy was a preacher and my biggest hero. | |
| [24:47] | That’s a lot of traveling for a little girl. | |
| [24:49] | Well, I think it was a blessing. | |
| [24:50] | I got the chance to sing to a lot of different folk and I got | |
| [24:53] | the opportunity to practice being on stage which is a lot | |
| [24:56] | harder than it looks. | |
| [24:58] | It was a great way to cut my teeth. | |

| [25:07] | and Billie Holiday. | |
| [25:08] | It does feel very special to be singing on the | |

| [39:16] | and the first time that I let that precious child out of | |
| [39:20] | my sight this happens? | |
| [39:23] | You weren’t watching her. | |
| [39:26] | You let her fall pray to God knows what. | |
| [39:31] | I did keep my eye on her, Momma, as best I could. | |
| [39:40] | The boy, the boy who did this must be held accountable. | |
| [39:59] | We could waste time and chase after worldly justice or | |
| [40:07] | we could simply accept that this is a part of the mission | |
| [40:15] | that God, God has for her. | |

| [41:05] | We’ll be right back after a word from our sponsors. | |
| [41:09] | I don’t know why she decided to sing that particular song. | |
| [41:13] | Well, she sings what she wants. | |
| [41:16] | One minute insisting on showtunes and here she is doing a jazz number. | |
| [41:21] | I can’t reason with her. | |
| [41:25] | Nor can I. | |
| [41:32] | How you feeling, baby? | |
| [41:35] | All right, I guess. | |
| [41:37] | We’re going to take you to Dr. Steward. | |
| [41:39] | Okay. Are you mad? | |
| [41:43] | No, baby. | |
| [41:45] | And this is not going to stop you from singing | |
| [41:49] | or from going to school. | |
| [41:51] | Isn’t that right, Momma? | |
| [41:54] | We’re all going to pitch in, | |
| [41:57] | and this baby will be the family’s baby. | |
| [42:01] | That’s right. | |
| [42:03] | This is not going to stop you from what you were meant to do. | |
| [42:11] | Meant to do. | |
| [42:25] | That was a wonderful performance. | |
| [42:28] | I wish I could stay. | |
| [42:29] | I think I sang really well. | |
| [42:30] | You always sing well. | |
| [42:32] | But we haven’t found it yet, have we? | |
| [42:35] | Not from lack of trying. | |
| [42:36] | So, let’s get you back into the studio | |
| [42:38] | and put our heads together. | |
| [42:40] | – Hammond. – Ted. | |
| [42:41] | Listen, I, I wish I could linger but I have another event. | |
| [42:44] | Congratulations. | |
| [42:45] | Glad you could make it. | |
| [42:49] | On your birthday last year, you remember what you wished for? | |
| [42:53] | Have you seen my father? | |
| [42:55] | You said you wanted to be on The Steve Allen Show | |
| [42:57] | and what did I say to you? | |
| [42:58] | I said I was going to make your dreams come true. | |
| [43:01] | And now look at where we are. | |
| [43:02] | He made it all this way, stayed for the show, | |
| [43:04] | and didn’t stay for the party which means he was either still | |
| [43:06] | mad at me or he thought my performance was bad. | |
| [43:08] | Was it? | |
| [43:10] | No, baby, baby, baby, baby, no, come on. | |
| [43:13] | Mr. Wexler? | |
| [43:16] | I’m a big fan, Aretha. | |
| [43:18] | Ms. Franklin. | |
| [43:19] | Excuse me, Ms. Franklin. | |
| [43:21] | You know I’ve launched a few careers, | |
| [43:24] | Atlantic Records and me. | |
| [43:26] | We roll up our sleeves and we dig deep. | |
| [43:28] | This contract with Columbia is almost up. | |
| [43:30] | What she does after that, that’s her call. | |
| [43:33] | Columbia’s had a good run. | |
| [43:35] | But music is changing, you’ve got to stay ahead of it | |
| [43:37] | or you’re going to get left behind. | |
| [43:39] | Can I be honest? | |
| [43:40] | Yeah, please. | |
| [43:42] | Tonight, I wanted to be wowed but I wasn’t. | |
| [43:46] | And I don’t think the audience was either. | |
| [43:48] | Well, now you’re just plain wrong. | |
| [43:49] | Skylark is going to be a classic. | |
| [43:51] | I’m trying everything I can. | |
| [43:52] | You know I work with Ray Charles. | |
| [43:54] | He’s a genius. | |
| [43:55] | I could do for you what I did for Ray. | |
| [43:58] | I could help you find your sound. | |
| [44:01] | That’s what I do. | |
| [44:03] | Now, let me ask you, what kind of music do you really | |
| [44:06] | want to make, Ms. Franklin? | |
| [44:09] | I want to make hits, Mr. Wexler. | |
| [44:12] | You’ll get there when you realize you’re | |
| [44:14] | Aretha Franklin and nobody else. | |
| [44:19] | Pleasure. | |
| [44:25] | Let me freshen your drink. | |
