| [00:00] | Previously on Genius. | |
| [00:03] | It was just like this with your wife. | |
| [00:03] | Poor Barbara. Bless her soul. | |
| [00:05] | My past ain’t got nothing to do with you. | |
| [00:07] | You had relations with a. | |
| [00:08] | Shut, shut your mouth. Shut your mouth I said. | |
| [00:10] | You got with… | |
| [00:12] | They put a crown on my head, | |
| [00:13] | and he punched me in my face. | |
| [00:15] | Don’t let that queen stuff get to your head. | |
| [00:16] | I’m going to let that queen thing go wherever | |
| [00:17] | I want it to. | |
| [00:18] | You’ve got to step away from him, baby. | |
| [00:20] | He’s dragging you down. | |
| [00:22] | You know I had six singles on Epic and | |
| [00:24] | not one is charted. | |
| [00:25] | Sometimes I look at you. | |
| [00:26] | Do I even have a chance? | |
| [00:28] | Today marked the fourth day of looting and | |
| [00:30] | arson in Detroit. | |
| [00:32] | They’ve been telling me the best way to raise | |
| [00:34] | money is to hold benefit concerts. | |
| [00:36] | I’d like to join your tour, Dr. King. | |
| [00:38] | And we’d love to have you. | |
| [00:39] | What you mean you left your baby at home? | |
| [00:41] | Who you say his Daddy was again? | |
| [00:43] | I knew your mother. | |
| [00:45] | She had the same shine you got. | |
| [00:47] | I don’t think Momma would be proud of me | |
| [00:49] | having a baby. | |
| [00:50] | If your momma was around, | |
| [00:52] | that baby wouldn’t have happened. | |
| [00:54] | Every time I talk about freedom for our people, | |
| [00:56] | I’m also talking about freedom of the mind, personal freedom. | |
| [01:00] | Martin Luther King was | |
| [01:02] | shot and was killed tonight in Memphis. | |
| [01:09] | Here she is the queen of the | |
| [01:12] | rhythm and blues Aretha Franklin! | |

| [07:32] | Just got off the phone with my boss and the | |
| [07:33] | banner’s going to read, “The Sound of Soul.” | |
| [07:36] | They want your picture on the cover because they | |
| [07:38] | want the whole story to be mostly all about you. | |
| [07:42] | That’s what I’m talking about, | |

| [10:08] | Reverend Franklin, you give a fine, fine sermon. | |
| [10:10] | My favorite passage, | |
| [10:12] | “We are a proud race who need not bow down to any soul.” | |
| [10:17] | Is she singing to him? | |
| [10:19] | Setting my heart racing, Reverend, for justice. | |
| [10:21] | Amen. | |
| [10:23] | Thank you, Reverend. | |
| [10:29] | So have you picked out names yet? | |
| [10:31] | If it’s a boy we’ll name him Clarence | |
| [10:34] | after the reverend, of course. | |
| [10:35] | And if it’s a girl? | |
| [10:37] | Aretha. It’s a family name. | |
| [10:40] | Oh, beautiful. | |
| [10:43] | That was a good sermon, son. | |
| [10:46] | Thank you, Momma. | |
| [10:47] | Where are Erma and Cecil? | |
| [10:49] | I couldn’t get them out of the playroom | |
| [10:51] | with Sister Margaret and their tambourines. | |
| [10:53] | Pleasure to meet you. | |
| [10:54] | Likewise. | |
| [10:55] | You should be very proud of your son. | |
| [10:56] | We are indeed. | |
| [10:57] | I wonder who that man is. | |
| [10:59] | Got a nice suit on. | |
| [11:01] | We’ll be in touch, Reverend. | |
| [11:02] | Thank you. | |
| [11:04] | Almost feels too quiet with them both asleep. | |
| [11:07] | It’s going to get pretty noisy when the | |
| [11:08] | new one gets here. | |
| [11:10] | I can’t wait. | |
| [11:11] | Me either. | |
| [11:13] | What’d you think about my sermon? | |
| [11:16] | I particularly liked the | |
| [11:17] | Psalm 62:5 through 6 passage. | |
| [11:20] | “God alone is the mighty rock that keeps me safe. | |
| [11:24] | He is the fortress where I feel secure.” | |
| [11:27] | That complemented my theme of self-reliance. | |
| [11:30] | Beautifully. | |
| [11:32] | And I appreciate you choosing that hymn, | |
| [11:35] | although in my mind I think you should have | |
| [11:38] | sung another verse. | |
| [11:42] | So, you gonna tell me who the man in the | |
| [11:45] | nice suit was or you gonna keep me wondering? | |
| [11:47] | Is he from the radio station? | |
| [11:49] | Uh, no. | |
| [11:50] | You are, you are not going to believe this, | |
| [11:52] | but he was from Nashville NAACP. | |
| [11:55] | Was he lost? | |
| [11:57] | That’s what I thought. | |
| [11:59] | But two weeks from now they want me to come down and | |
| [12:01] | speak to the leadership council. | |
| [12:03] | They think I can be a voice for our people. | |
| [12:05] | Oh, honey, I’m so proud of you. | |
| [12:08] | That’s wonderful. | |
| [12:09] | Thank you, baby. | |
| [12:11] | What’s that look for? | |
| [12:14] | What’s worrying you? | |
| [12:16] | I just, just wouldn’t want the world to | |
| [12:19] | pull you away from us too much. | |
| [12:21] | You don’t have to worry about that. | |
| [12:22] | Besides, I told them that I’m only coming if it’s | |
| [12:25] | the two of us. | |
| [12:27] | I told them to find some accommodations at a very | |
| [12:30] | lovely establishment nearby. | |
| [12:32] | What would I do in Nashville? | |
| [12:35] | We are a team. | |
| [12:39] | A wife of noble character she’s worth far more than rubies, | |
| [12:45] | but good things are coming for us, Barbara. | |
| [12:49] | That too. | |
| [13:00] | To you on the cover right where you belong. | |
| [13:03] | I still can’t believe it. | |
| [13:05] | Now, remember this is not Jet or Ebony so they’re | |
| [13:07] | not going to be asking softball questions. | |
| [13:09] | Time Magazine is going to ask what they want to ask. | |
| [13:11] | Not to worry, Ruth, you’re going to have all | |
| [13:12] | the right answers. | |
| [13:14] | Look, baby, you deserve it. | |
| [13:15] | You got more top ten hits than any black singer ever. | |
| [13:18] | We’re big time now. | |
| [13:21] | Hey, hey. | |
| [13:23] | Private party, friend. | |
| [13:25] | I want to dance with the Queen of Soul. | |
| [13:26] | Yeah, well, not tonight, buddy. | |
| [13:27] | Come on, Queen. | |
| [13:29] | I buy your records. Dance with me. | |
| [13:30] | Don’t touch me. | |
| [13:31] | Get off me. You can’t touch me. | |
| [13:33] | What the hell? | |
| [13:34] | Folks can’t have a drink in peace? | |
| [13:35] | Shouldn’t go to your favorite spot if you’re trying | |
| [13:37] | to duck the press. | |
| [13:38] | You really going to do this to me, Sis? | |
| [13:41] | Tabloids will pay a fortune for this. | |
| [13:44] | Is that Aretha Franklin? | |
| [14:17] | Who died? | |
| [14:19] | My career. | |
| [14:22] | Well, maybe this will cheer you up. | |
| [14:25] | Photos from that paparazzi woman of you | |
| [14:27] | shoving that drunk. | |
| [14:28] | Thank you. | |
| [14:29] | Don’t ask me how much it cost. | |
| [14:30] | Thank you, baby. | |
| [14:32] | This could have ruined everything. | |
| [14:33] | Maybe I shouldn’t do this Time thing. | |
| [14:35] | I don’t exactly like reporters. | |
| [14:36] | Hey, hey, hey, you’re going to do it. | |
| [14:39] | You just ain’t going to leave nothing to chance. | |
| [14:41] | All right, well, we’ll invite the reporter | |
| [14:44] | here and put on a show. | |
| [14:46] | Mm-hmm. | |
| [14:48] | Help me clean up. | |
| [14:50] | Whatever you say, Queen. | |
| [14:58] | Come on now, everybody, listen. | |
| [15:00] | No, no, nobody is going to mess this up. | |
| [15:04] | Re. | |
| [15:05] | We know how to get through one dinner with a reporter | |
| [15:07] | without making fools of ourselves. | |
| [15:08] | You sure about that? | |
| [15:09] | Don’t worry about me. | |
| [15:11] | Carolyn’s going to be sorry she missed this one. | |
| [15:12] | Oh well, she’s very happily in the studio | |
| [15:13] | recording “Baby Dynamite”, but I’m here for you, Sis. | |
| [15:16] | Re’s right. We have to have her back. | |
| [15:18] | The cover story in Time Magazine! | |
| [15:21] | That’s really something. | |
| [15:22] | Um, Cecil, can you run point if the conversation lags? | |
| [15:24] | I’ll tell a story about how you would hide from the | |
| [15:26] | piano teacher because you liked playing more than lessons. | |
| [15:28] | And, and Ruth, if he starts to talk about | |
| [15:30] | the business side of things. | |
| [15:31] | I’ll mention your tour dates. | |
| [15:32] | Thank you. | |
| [15:34] | And, Daddy, you just talk about my musical background | |
| [15:35] | and my upbringing in the church, nothing more. | |
| [15:37] | No, no, no. | |
| [15:39] | Well, I’m going to talk about how your father was | |
| [15:41] | a sharecropper to put food on the table for his family. | |
| [15:43] | And how the man cheated him. | |
| [15:44] | No, no, Big Mamma, um, just happy, | |
| [15:47] | upbeat stories only. | |
| [15:49] | Don’t worry, baby girl, just feed us the line. | |
| [15:51] | We’ll do whatever you want. | |
| [15:53] | I promise you this Time reporter’s going to see | |
| [15:54] | a perfect life, | |
| [15:55] | your perfect family or I’m going to kill somebody | |
| [15:57] | trying to make it. | |
| [15:59] | After you get this worry off your plate. | |
| [16:01] | I want you to come home. | |
| [16:02] | There’s some young brothers I want you to meet. | |
| [16:04] | They’re taking up the cause of our people. | |
| [16:06] | They call themselves the Republic of New Afrika. | |
| [16:10] | Daddy don’t be dragging Aretha into those people. | |
| [16:12] | Okay, some of their ideas are pretty radical. | |
| [16:13] | They, they fine young men. | |
| [16:15] | They, they, they dedicated to uplifting our people. | |
| [16:18] | After the dinner tonight, | |
| [16:19] | we can talk about schedule. | |
| [16:20] | Okay. | |
| [16:21] | Aretha, it’ll be fine. We’ll all play our parts. | |
| [16:23] | Why are you looking at me? | |
| [16:24] | Well, because, Daddy, | |
| [16:25] | you said you’re going to kill somebody. | |
| [16:28] | Bless this family, oh God. | |
| [16:31] | And we ask in the precious name of Jesus Christ our Lord. | |
| [16:35] | Amen. | |
| [16:36] | Amen. | |
| [16:38] | So I’m curious. | |
| [16:39] | Why did it take you over a year to record the | |
| [16:41] | ‘Preacher Man’ song? | |
| [16:42] | My father being a pastor, | |
| [16:43] | I didn’t think it was appropriate. | |
| [16:45] | Didn’t quite seem respectful. | |
| [16:47] | A little racy. | |
| [16:48] | Your father’s an important man. | |
| [16:50] | She told me about it. | |
| [16:51] | I, I liked the tune, but and plus she’s going to | |
| [16:54] | make it a big hit. | |
| [16:56] | Do you have to approve of all her music? | |
| [16:58] | No, and honestly, | |
| [17:00] | I don’t sing anything I don’t like. | |
| [17:02] | When we were kids, the girls would sing and dance | |
| [17:05] | and work out all the moves. | |
| [17:06] | We’d even let Cecil join in from time to time. | |
| [17:09] | They would take turns singing the lead. | |
| [17:11] | Except when I had to steal the microphone | |
| [17:14] | from Aretha’s hand. | |
| [17:16] | Everybody whoever heard little Re sing knew she | |
| [17:18] | was going to be a star. | |
| [17:19] | Oh, from her first solo in church. | |
| [17:21] | Yeah, she was a little itty bitty thing. | |
| [17:23] | I remember the first time. | |
| [17:24] | Ted, let’s let the family tell the story. | |
| [17:29] | Yeah, cause you were more focused on Dinah | |
| [17:30] | back then, remember? | |
| [17:33] | Was that Dinah Washington? | |
| [17:35] | Yes, it was, but, uh, | |
| [17:37] | we don’t want to have to get started on that cause | |
| [17:38] | we’ll be off topic. | |
| [17:40] | To my daughter who busts my chest with pride every day. | |
| [17:45] | To Aretha. | |
| [17:52] | You are a family that genuinely cares | |
| [17:54] | about each other. | |
| [17:56] | Thank you for having me in your home. | |
| [17:57] | Oh, you can quit all that formal stuff. | |
| [17:59] | You done had Aretha’s fried chicken. | |
| [18:00] | You’re practically family. | |
| [18:02] | That was your cooking? | |
| [18:03] | I thought that was catered. | |
| [18:04] | Oh, honey, I love to cook. | |
| [18:05] | Oh, what are some of your favorite dishes? | |
| [18:07] | Fried chicken, uh, cornbread, peach cobbler. | |
| [18:11] | Can’t get enough of that peach cobbler. | |
| [18:12] | Shh, Ted stop it. | |
| [18:13] | No, come on, tell me more. | |
| [18:15] | I like barbecue, so when we’re on the road | |
| [18:17] | I try to find a good barbecue spot. | |
| [18:19] | Now what is a typical day in the life of the | |
| [18:23] | Queen of Soul? | |
| [18:26] | Well, I’m, I’m in a studio a lot, | |
| [18:28] | so I rehearse, and I record. | |
| [18:31] | Are you an early bird? | |
| [18:32] | Oh no, she’s a late starter. | |
| [18:35] | But what artist isn’t? | |
| [18:39] | Did you learn cooking from your mother? | |
| [18:45] | I did. | |
| [18:47] | I know she died when you were very young. | |
| [18:50] | I hope she had time to pass on some of her loves to you. | |
| [18:54] | She did, um, music and piano playing. | |
| [19:00] | Those were her loves. | |
| [19:03] | Losing her mom at such a young age; it’s hard. | |
| [19:10] | She was wonderful. | |
| [19:12] | We were very close, so yes, it was devastating. | |
| [19:21] | Some folks can help make this country a better place. | |
| [19:25] | They know what the ill’s are. | |
| [19:27] | They know what the problems are, | |
| [19:28] | but they don’t take action. | |
| [19:31] | Speak the truth, pastor. | |
| [19:32] | To do nothing is easy. | |
| [19:34] | Yes. | |
| [19:35] | To shun your responsibility is easy. | |
| [19:38] | See there’s some folks in this country. | |
| [19:40] | They don’t want things improved. | |
| [19:42] | That’s right, reverend. | |
| [19:43] | But when you are doing the righteous work, | |
| [19:45] | be like Nehemiah. | |
| [19:46] | You tell these doubters I am doing great work and | |
| [19:49] | I will not come down. | |
| [19:51] | You are our doctors. | |
| [19:52] | You are our lawyers and you are our business owners. | |
| [19:55] | You tell these naysayers that I am doing great work | |
| [19:58] | and I will not stand down. | |
| [20:01] | Do great work for our people. | |
| [20:05] | Are you prepared for what’s coming, | |
| [20:07] | for what his rise will mean? | |
| [20:08] | I try to be a good helpmate. | |
| [20:10] | But you also have to get ready for the harsh glare | |
| [20:12] | of the limelight. | |
| [20:14] | Cause this isn’t all fine houses and furnishings. | |
| [20:16] | You have to make a tradeoff. | |
| [20:17] | Your family’s privacy | |
| [20:18] | in exchange for your husband’s celebrity. | |
| [20:20] | It won’t be easy. | |
| [20:21] | I love Reverend Franklin for who he is and | |
| [20:24] | what he can do for our people. | |
| [20:26] | Cling to that then because it’s clear. | |
| [20:29] | He soon won’t be just your man. | |
| [20:31] | He’ll belong to the world. | |
| [20:41] | You were amazing. | |
| [20:42] | Thank you, baby, thank you. | |
| [20:44] | You know I just feel like you belong here. | |
| [20:47] | Uh, we belong here. | |
| [20:48] | Look at these houses. | |
| [20:50] | How about you pick? | |
| [20:51] | I’m going to pick one. | |
| [21:01] | Can I help you gentlemen? | |
| [21:03] | We followed you up from Memphis. | |
| [21:05] | Seems like you’ve got a lot to say. | |
| [21:08] | I’m here at the invitation… | |
| [21:09] | Yeah, we know why you’re here. | |
| [21:13] | Yeah, that’s right, nigger. | |
| [21:14] | We heard about what you were saying. | |
| [21:16] | We got ears everywhere. | |
| [21:20] | It’d be a shame if something was to happen just | |
| [21:22] | cause he can’t keep his mouth shut. | |
| [21:27] | You all have a good night. | |

| [22:08] | Our mother never deserted us. | |
| [22:13] | Her husband, a former street corner wheeler dealer… | |
| [22:17] | Last year, Aretha’s husband, Ted White, | |
| [22:19] | roughed her up in public. | |
| [22:20] | It was not the first such incident. | |
| [22:22] | Why, why, why would he say this that, that I’m, | |
| [22:28] | that I’m obsessed with soap operas, that, | |
| [22:30] | that my songs are all about sex? | |
| [22:32] | Cause it’s a piece of trash written by a no-account | |
| [22:34] | white man and after we let him into our house. | |
| [22:36] | I knew we shouldn’t have trusted him. | |
| [22:38] | We didn’t trust him. | |
| [22:39] | We didn’t trust him. | |
| [22:40] | Uh, we were careful about the way we spoke, | |
| [22:42] | what we said, how we acted. | |
| [22:44] | We’ll just go back into the studio and make hits. | |
| [22:46] | That’s what we do. | |
| [22:47] | How the hell did he know all this shit? | |
| [22:48] | Did, did, did you speak to him by yourself? | |
| [22:53] | He called me, yeah. | |
| [22:55] | He called everybody. You know that. | |
| [22:57] | And what did you tell him, Ted? | |
| [22:59] | Nothing. | |
| [23:06] | I told him the Queen’s favorite takeout, | |
| [23:09] | the Queen’s favorite shows. | |
| [23:11] | He acted like I was a gopher talking to me about that crap. | |
| [23:13] | Did you tell him about our personal life? | |
| [23:14] | Why would I tell him that, huh? | |
| [23:19] | I got your back, baby. You know that. | |
| [23:21] | Answer the question, Ted. | |
| [23:22] | What did you tell him? | |
| [23:23] | I made nice like you told me to do. | |
| [23:26] | He was only acting friendly and you fell for it? | |
| [23:28] | I fell for it. | |

| [23:36] | You was pregnant when you was 12. | |
| [23:39] | Your Momma left you and probably died of heartbreak | |
| [23:42] | because your Daddy couldn’t keep his business | |
| [23:44] | out the streets. | |
| [23:45] | – I can’t believe this. – That’s your life, Re. | |
| [23:47] | – Cannot believe this. – Deal. | |
| [23:59] | It’s good to be home. | |
| [24:01] | So come and meet Daddy’s guests. | |
| [24:03] | I don’t know. | |
| [24:04] | They’re a group of young men, | |
| [24:06] | very passionate about their politics. | |
| [24:08] | They even have a catchy name, | |
| [24:11] | Republic of New Afrika. | |
| [24:12] | I’m not up for meeting new people. | |
| [24:14] | Re, the Time Magazine | |
| [24:15] | thing will blow over soon enough. | |
| [24:16] | That’s easy for you to say. | |
| [24:18] | That’s not your face splashed all over the front of the magazine. | |
| [24:20] | And I’m not releasing “Son of a Preacher Man”. | |
| [24:21] | Hold on, it’s a good song. | |
| [24:23] | It’s too controversial. | |
| [24:25] | It’s going to live on the shelf. | |
| [24:26] | You’ve got to get Jet or Ebony to do | |
| [24:27] | a puff piece, something to take the stink off. | |
| [24:29] | You all need to understand there’s no such | |
| [24:31] | thing as bad press. | |
| [24:32] | I’ve been getting more calls to book her than ever, | |
| [24:34] | Las Vegas, more dates in Europe. | |
| [24:36] | Offers are pouring in. | |
| [24:37] | Which means the real people are with you, Sis, | |
| [24:39] | no matter what somebody puts in some magazine. | |
| [24:41] | Tell you what. | |
| [24:43] | I’m going to contact some lawyers to take out a lawsuit against them. | |
| [24:45] | We ain’t going to stand for it. | |
| [24:46] | – Thank you, Daddy. – Now come on. | |
| [24:47] | I want to introduce you to these young men out here. | |
| [24:49] | They’re the voice of the new generation and unlike | |
| [24:51] | Time Magazine these folks was vetted by me. | |
| [25:03] | The Republic of New Africa? | |
| [25:05] | ♪ I don’t care about money too much ♪ | |
| [25:07] | I’m not disrespecting the elders, but the | |
| [25:09] | Republic of New Afrika | |
| [25:11] | believes we have to fight as guerillas and soldiers to hold | |
| [25:13] | the land to protect our sovereignty. | |
| [25:15] | Are you suggesting that black people take up arms? | |
| [25:16] | If we’re met with violence, | |
| [25:18] | then we will respond with violence. | |
| [25:19] | You seem very dismissive of Dr. King’s | |
| [25:21] | nonviolent approach. | |
| [25:22] | Dr. King was a patsy to the man, | |
| [25:23] | they used him to quell our legitimate discontent just | |
| [25:26] | like your music is sometimes used to pacify people. | |
| [25:29] | Excuse me? My music ain’t a pacifier. | |
| [25:31] | And Dr. King… | |
| [25:33] | What I mean is they’re not going to give | |
| [25:34] | our leaders real power. | |
| [25:36] | They tore down King and that Time article denigrated and | |
| [25:38] | disrespected you. | |
| [25:40] | White men can’t stand to see a black woman | |
| [25:42] | have real power. | |
| [25:43] | White men aren’t the only people who | |
| [25:44] | have trouble seeing a strong black woman. | |
| [25:52] | Let me refresh your drink. | |
| [26:02] | Now I lay me down to sleep. | |
| [26:04] | I pray the Lord my soul to keep, | |
| [26:06] | and if I die before I wake, | |
| [26:09] | I pray the Lord my soul to take. | |
| [26:11] | Lord, keep all those who we love safe. | |
| [26:17] | What do you want to pray for tonight, Clare? | |
| [26:19] | Ms. Cathy at school. | |
| [26:21] | Is she sick? | |

| [26:27] | I pray for you, Momma, | |

| [28:33] | I had to stay here what with the baby coming. | |
| [28:35] | All the way up in Michigan? | |
| [28:36] | He’ll be back next week. | |
| [28:39] | Is there something I can help you with, Sister? | |
| [28:46] | No, no, ma’am. | |
| [28:49] | It’s not that important, sorry. | |
| [28:51] | Will you join me for some tea? | |
| [28:53] | No, ma’am, I won’t be taking up no | |
| [28:55] | more of your time. | |
| [28:58] | Well, I’ll be sure to tell the reverend | |
| [28:59] | you stopped by. | |
| [29:11] | Thank you. | |
| [29:17] | Pam, our crib’s arrived. | |
| [29:19] | – Oh, it’s lovely, isn’t it? – Yes. | |
| [29:21] | I’ll be with you directly, Barbara. | |
| [29:22] | How pretty. | |
| [29:30] | So sweet. | |
| [29:33] | Barbara, honey, your crib is right over here. | |
| [29:38] | Why is there a second crib here with CL’s | |
| [29:40] | name on it? | |
| [29:41] | This is the crib we ordered. | |
| [29:42] | Oh, I’m sure it’s just a mistake. | |
| [29:45] | You know how Walker is. | |
| [29:46] | He insists on being in charge of everything. | |
| [29:48] | But why would CL be buying another crib? | |
| [29:52] | I’m sure Walker put CL’s name on the other | |
| [29:54] | tag by mistake. | |
| [29:59] | It could happen. | |
| [30:01] | Walker’s a good husband. | |
| [30:03] | And CL’s a good husband too. | |
| [30:05] | We all try to follow the Lord’s lead. | |
| [30:07] | Mm-hmm. | |
| [30:11] | I, uh, I’m keeping busy with my hands. | |
| [30:14] | I made two baby blankets. | |
| [30:17] | That would be a shame for one to go to waste. | |
| [30:21] | Who else is expecting around my same time? | |
| [30:26] | Well, you know everyone passes through the store here. | |
| [30:28] | If you’d like to bring the blanket in, | |
| [30:30] | I can make sure it gets to a deserving… | |
| [30:32] | But it would mean so much more I’m sure if I | |
| [30:37] | delivered it in person. | |
| [30:47] | I can’t be certain. | |
| [30:49] | I haven’t seen them in a bit, | |
| [30:50] | but I think the Jennings family is expecting. | |
| [30:55] | You know them? | |
| [30:57] | She and her daughter are in service at | |
| [30:59] | the Duncan House. | |
| [31:00] | Mm-hmm that’s right. | |
| [31:02] | Sister Jennings came by just the other day. | |
| [31:05] | – Is that so? – Mm-hmm. | |
| [31:16] | Mildred, come on out here. | |
| [31:18] | Yes, Momma. | |
| [31:27] | What you got here? | |
| [31:29] | Thank you, baby. | |
| [31:32] | You done with everything inside like I told you? | |
| [31:36] | Hang that up for me. Make sure you… | |
| [31:56] | I heard that Erma went and recorded | |
| [31:57] | “Son of a Preacher Man.” | |
| [31:59] | She did? | |
| [32:01] | Maybe that’s why Aretha’s so mad. | |
| [32:05] | Hey, Ruth, my dad wants to talk to Aretha. | |
| [32:09] | He got into a huge mess with those RNA folks he had | |
| [32:11] | Aretha meet in Detroit. | |
| [32:12] | They had guns outside his church and there was a | |
| [32:14] | shootout with the police. | |
| [32:15] | A police officer was killed. | |
| [32:17] | Good Lord. | |
| [32:18] | I told Daddy Aretha was in a recording session, | |
| [32:20] | but he says he’s got to talk to her. | |
| [32:21] | What does he need her to do? | |
| [32:23] | Maybe help him smooth things over. | |
| [32:27] | Tell him Aretha’s busy. She can’t be disturbed. | |
| [32:29] | Okay. | |
| [32:37] | I got a great arrangement for | |
| [32:39] | “Don’t Play that Song.” | |
| [32:41] | Is Jerry going to say something about | |
| [32:42] | you doing another cover? | |
| [32:43] | Wait until he hears it. | |
| [32:44] | He’s going to want me to record a whole album of covers. | |
| [32:48] | Ted not showing up today? | |
| [32:49] | I wanted some space, so I put my foot down. | |
| [32:51] | He said he always has my back, | |
| [32:53] | but he says a lot of things and he lies. | |
| [32:55] | Don’t let him throw you. | |
| [33:05] | You know he don’t treat you right. | |
| [33:07] | He never has. | |
| [33:08] | Maybe this Time Magazine thing was for the best. | |
| [33:10] | Maybe it’s the straw that broke the camel’s back. | |
| [33:12] | Whatever you do, | |
| [33:13] | you gotta take care of yourself, girl, | |
| [33:15] | cause you got something even on your worst day that | |
| [33:19] | outshines anything he’s ever seen. | |
| [33:22] | You think you need him, but he knows deep inside you don’t | |
| [33:26] | cause your voice and the way you put all that music | |
| [33:29] | together is something that nobody can do but you. | |
| [33:32] | I got a voice. | |
| [33:34] | When you play, you’re my second voice. | |
| [33:37] | The second voice to Aretha Franklin, | |
| [33:41] | I’ll take that. | |
| [33:45] | How, how come we didn’t never get together? | |
| [33:55] | Maybe cause I love you too much. | |

| [36:33] | I heard what happened with the RNA. | |
| [36:35] | What the hell were you thinking? | |
| [36:36] | I was thinking I was supporting a young man | |
| [36:38] | trying to make a difference. | |
| [36:40] | They had guns. | |
| [36:41] | So did the cops. | |
| [36:42] | This is going to bring me more bad press. | |
| [36:44] | I don’t need stuff like that spilling out in the streets. | |
| [36:46] | All you care about now is your damn bad press. | |
| [36:48] | I just, I’m, I’m tired of all the mess, Daddy. | |
| [36:53] | Well, then maybe you shouldn’t have married Ted. | |
| [36:56] | I gotta go. | |
| [37:02] | Baby! | |
| [37:04] | Say hello to the preacher that took Detroit by storm. | |
| [37:08] | The congregation of New Bethel said they ain’t | |
| [37:10] | never heard someone preach like me. | |
| [37:11] | Stop. Don’t come near me. | |
| [37:19] | Someone been talking to you about me. | |
| [37:23] | Hey, hold on. | |
| [37:26] | What is wrong with you? Have you lost your mind? | |
| [37:28] | No. I got my mind finally. | |
| [37:34] | Underneath everything, I always had suspicions, | |
| [37:39] | but I made excuses. | |
| [37:41] | “He’s got temptations. He can’t help his appetites,” | |
| [37:45] | but at your core I thought you were a good loving man. | |
| [37:48] | I am. | |
| [37:49] | But you are not a good man! | |
| [37:52] | You are evil and disgusting. | |
| [37:55] | Who’s been talking to you? | |
| [37:56] | You made a baby with a child, a 12-year-old. | |
| [38:01] | That girl was, she, she. | |
| [38:02] | Take your bags. | |
| [38:05] | Go. | |
| [38:09] | What do I tell people, hmm, my parents, huh? | |
| [38:13] | Just go. Get away from me. | |
| [38:53] | So pretty. Precious baby. | |
| [38:58] | She’s such a blessing. | |
| [39:03] | She’s a miracle. | |
| [39:28] | You spent time with baby Re now you can go. | |
| [39:33] | I want to earn your forgiveness. | |
| [39:35] | You can’t. | |
| [39:36] | Like, I can make it up to you. | |
| [39:38] | Look, I got a promise. | |
| [39:39] | Okay. We, we can leave Memphis. | |
| [39:41] | Okay, we can, we can start all over. | |
| [39:42] | Where? | |
| [39:44] | Where could we go? | |
| [39:46] | Everybody knows what you’ve done. | |
| [39:50] | Oh, Lord, Lord, forgive me. | |
| [39:51] | I, I have sinned okay against my wife, against you. | |
| [39:56] | I’m not praying for myself. | |

| [40:18] | And I know I am not worthy of your forgiveness, | |
| [40:20] | but I’m seeking it. | |
| [40:24] | I am a wretched man. | |
| [40:27] | Don’t let my stain be on her garment and don’t let my | |
| [40:29] | wrongs cast a shadow over her beauty. | |
| [40:33] | Forgive me, Lord. | |
| [40:38] | Move her. | |
| [40:40] | Just, just move her so that she can forgive me for | |
| [40:45] | I am a wretched man. | |
| [40:52] | I forgive you. | |
| [40:56] | I am a wretched man. | |
| [41:01] | I forgive you. | |
| [41:07] | A wife of noble character | |

| [41:18] | I’m so sorry. | |
| [41:38] | Here’s the keys to a room upstairs in this hotel. | |
| [41:47] | I was hoping that’s why you invited me to this restaurant… | |
