[00:25] | do you plan on ever singing back up for them? | |
[00:26] | We are family and we will always support each other. | |
[00:29] | Any chance you’d write the liner notes? | |
[00:32] | Carolyn asked you to write the liner notes in her | |
[00:34] | new record but you ain’t got the time to empower her. | |
[00:37] | When you heard Erma was recording “Preacher Man”, | |
[00:39] | you went and released your own version to undercut her chances. | |
[00:42] | How much help do ya’ll need from me? | |
[00:44] | Jerry Wexler, he gets me. | |
[00:47] | Let Aretha be Aretha. | |
[00:50] | And Ms. Franklin, I do appreciate your trust. | |
[00:53] | Well, shit, if you can’t trust Jerry Wexler. | |

[18:31] | True. But things didn’t always go her way. | |
[18:36] | And sometimes she even made mistakes. | |
[18:38] | You see, you’ve got to play all of her angles, | |
[18:41] | keep your heart open like you do when you sing. | |

[19:17] | I, I’m not falling for my acting teacher, I promise. | |
[19:21] | You audition yet? | |
[19:22] | Yeah, I’m waiting to hear back. | |
[19:24] | In the meantime, I’m going to take a few more acting lessons | |
[19:27] | and I wanted to lose a little weight. | |
[19:29] | You look good, sis. | |
[19:30] | I mean we gotta look good, sound good, smile, dress good. | |
[19:35] | Can’t go out with no makeup on. | |
[19:39] | It’s some bullshit. | |
[19:40] | I know. Can I get a witness. | |
[19:42] | What are you up to? | |
[19:45] | I’ve been invited back in the studio. | |
[19:47] | On some background work? | |
[19:48] | The lead vocals on a re-record for Curtis Mayfield. | |
[19:51] | Oh, the Gentle Giant asked you to come in? | |
[19:53] | Yeah, can you believe it? | |
[19:55] | Feels good to be singing leads for somebody at the top of his game. | |
[19:59] | He, he wrote the songs for that movie, that’s what this is for. | |
[20:01] | For “Sparkle”? | |
[20:03] | Yeah. | |
[20:04] | I thought it was done already. | |
[20:05] | He’s not happy with the sound, | |
[20:07] | thinks I can sing it better. | |
[20:09] | Oh, man, I think my solo career might finally be getting some traction. | |
[20:13] | Well, I’m happy for you, sis. | |
[20:14] | – Thanks. – Good for you. | |

[20:35] | You, uh, finally gonna say yes? | |
[20:37] | Curtis, I wasn’t playing hard to get. | |
[20:39] | I, I was actually busy. | |
[20:41] | You making a new album? | |
[20:43] | Oh, well, I was hoping to have a few film projects in the works but… | |
[20:46] | Yeah, I saw you were auditioning. | |
[20:48] | Let’s just say that nothings quite come together yet. | |
[20:52] | Well, this project there’s no doubt that the | |
[20:55] | Queen of Soul would make for a very welcome addition. | |
[20:58] | And I’m looking for a new producer so this | |
[21:00] | might give me an opportunity to try you out. | |
[21:02] | Two birds, one stone. | |
[21:04] | You talked it over with Carolyn? | |
[21:06] | Not yet but she’ll understand. | |
[21:09] | Well, right on. Let’s go. | |
[21:12] | All right. Bye, bye. | |
[21:16] | You didn’t waste no time, did you? | |
[21:18] | I guess you want more money and fame, huh? | |
[21:23] | I saw you work really hard and you didn’t get the Bessie Smith role. | |
[21:28] | Curtis says that “Sparkle” needs some real sparkle. | |
[21:31] | But he wanted Carolyn for the project. | |
[21:34] | Well, he asked me first and I was busy working on my new album. | |
[21:38] | That’s your sister, how could you do that to her? | |
[21:40] | This is not about Carolyn but, yes, I know. | |
[21:42] | It could hurt her. | |
[21:46] | Okay, look… | |
[21:52] | You’re the best woman I’ve ever known, | |
[21:55] | and I love you more than I’ve loved anything in my life. | |
[21:59] | But the way you’re going about things, | |
[22:00] | I don’t understand. | |
[22:04] | What are you willing to lose to gain the world? | |
[22:08] | You know, just it, it just feels… | |
[22:14] | It’s like we’re moving in two separate directions, honey. | |
[22:22] | Maybe it’s for the best. | |
[22:24] | Well, may… | |
[22:40] | ♪ People out there can understand ♪ | |
[22:43] | ♪ I’m givin’ him somethin’ that he can feel ♪ | |
[22:47] | Okay. | |
[22:48] | That, that sounded really beautiful. | |
[22:50] | Let’s do it again and this time we’re going to do it with, | |
[22:53] | without the riffs over the vamp at the end. | |
[22:55] | That’s just how I’m feeling it. | |
[22:57] | Feels to me like you just giving some flash | |
[23:00] | instead of going deeper. | |
[23:02] | It’s like you’re holding back. | |
[23:03] | Curtis, I’m just hearing it different. | |
[23:06] | Okay. | |
[23:07] | Let’s just do another take where you just let loose and | |
[23:11] | go all out. | |
[23:12] | What we got is great already, | |
[23:14] | one more go isn’t going to improve on it. | |
[23:17] | You know, folks say these days that | |
[23:19] | Ms. Franklin only does two takes. | |
[23:22] | I can’t believe that to be true. | |
[23:25] | You move people. | |
[23:27] | You, you go places they can’t. | |
[23:30] | You take the heaviness of life and you make it beautiful. | |

[31:15] | She should have won. | |
[31:17] | How come I’m mad that she didn’t win? | |
[31:19] | Because she’s your sister and I know she can be | |
[31:21] | difficult at sometimes but she still loves you | |
[31:23] | and you still love her. | |
[31:53] | There you are. | |

[32:02] | Well, you know, I’m proud to be with you, | |
[32:05] | even if I’m just your official shoulder to cry on. | |
[32:09] | Everything I did to get this, | |
[32:12] | I lost to some folks who can’t even sing nearly as good as me. | |
[32:17] | I mean they look good; I give them that. | |
[32:19] | But they don’t have anything else. | |
[32:23] | My label doesn’t support me because if they did I, | |
[32:26] | I would have won. | |
[32:29] | And… | |
[32:31] | What? | |
[32:36] | All that work. | |
[32:38] | I worked like a dog and for what? | |
[32:40] | Nothing. | |
[32:43] | All they do is take me for granted. | |
[32:44] | Listen, you’re beautiful. You know that? | |
[32:49] | Your songs are beautiful. | |
[32:52] | Yeah, some shit went down tonight but don’t let that make you doubt yourself. | |
[32:57] | Jerry left Atlantic and I still have two years left. | |
[33:01] | I don’t think I have anything else to give. | |
[33:04] | I’m done. | |
[33:08] | I hear you. | |
[33:10] | And, you know, I can’t count how many times this showbiz | |
[33:12] | thing has knocked me down and counted me out. | |
[33:16] | But then I get up, I go for another round, and I win. | |
[33:23] | Yeah. | |
[33:25] | You know, I heard someone say that Aretha Franklin is a has been. | |
[33:29] | No, no, no they didn’t. | |
[33:31] | You tell me who said that and I’m going to go talk to them. | |
[33:32] | No, I’m just going to have some words with them, talk to them. | |
[33:34] | Come on, stop it, come on. | |
[33:37] | You see, there’s your smile. | |
[33:39] | You see, the world is full of naysayers. | |
[33:42] | I’ve got to remind them that the Queen, | |
[33:44] | in addition to her beauty, | |
[33:47] | possesses talent, tenacity, and longevity. | |
[33:53] | I’ve got to remind them that though they can’t sing their way | |
[33:55] | out of a paper bag, Ms. Franklin can sing circles around them in her sleep. | |
[33:59] | Well, she can. | |
[34:00] | Without even trying, okay. | |
[34:04] | Now, what do you say you and I we go up there and we say hey to some folks? | |

[35:38] | Re, they’re saying this is the most exciting wedding of the year, girl. | |
[35:41] | But now I’m nervous. | |
[35:43] | Oh, you should be because marriage is a serious business. | |
[35:46] | Well, and lucky you got a deal on the pastor marrying you. | |
[35:50] | Daddy says the deacon wanted to charge us double for using the church. | |
[35:52] | What! | |

[35:55] | with the Justice of the Peace. | |
[35:57] | Oh, Daddy had a fit. | |
[35:59] | Come on, ya’ll. | |
[36:01] | Keep it on the good foot, else Re’s going to change her mind and jet. | |
[36:02] | Re ain’t going nowhere because Glynn Turman is fine. | |
[36:05] | He is a beautiful man and I love him. | |
[36:09] | I might not be the easiest person to be with, | |
[36:10] | but he lets me lean on him and I let him lean on me. | |
[36:14] | And that love you have for him will carry you through. | |
[36:20] | I’m sorry. | |
[36:24] | I was wrong for what I did to you. | |
[36:26] | It’s nothing. | |
[36:27] | It’s like Big Ma said, it’s water under the bridge. | |
[36:29] | No, no. | |
[36:30] | You deserve an apology and I need to give it. | |
[36:32] | I’m sorry, really, I am. | |
[36:38] | I hated you for it, but not anymore. | |
[36:48] | Now, go on, we not supposed to cry until after the wedding. | |

[38:42] | Whiskey warms my vocal cords. | |
[38:45] | Mm-hmm. | |
[38:46] | Reverend Franklin, | |
[38:49] | you could potentially lose your voice, | |
[38:52] | permanently. | |
[38:56] | I hope you’ll take my advice. | |
[38:57] | This’ll clear up in no time, doc. | |
[38:59] | Daddy, the doctor knows what he’s talking about. | |
[39:01] | I’m on top of my game, baby. | |
[39:02] | They don’t call me the Million Dollar Voice for nothing. | |
[39:04] | Just promise me that you are going to get a little rest. | |
[39:08] | Promise me. | |
[39:11] | Doc told me not to talk. | |
[39:32] | Oh, thank you so much. | |
[39:33] | Thanks for coming. | |
[39:34] | Absolutely. | |
[39:35] | Checking up on me? | |
[39:37] | No, no. | |
[39:39] | I was in town, in town on business. | |
[39:42] | And, you know, had a venue I had to look at, so. | |
[39:46] | Checking up on me. | |
[39:49] | All right. So, how’s, how’s your dad doing? | |
[39:54] | Headstrong as always. | |
[39:57] | And how’s Glynn doing? | |
[39:58] | Good? He’s good? | |
[40:00] | I finally found my Mr. Right. | |
[40:01] | Well deserved. | |
[40:03] | I auditioned for that Blues Brother’s film and got the part. | |
[40:06] | I heard. Dreams come true, huh? | |
[40:08] | I mean it’s a small cameo part but it, yeah, it’s exciting. | |
[40:17] | Is everything okay? | |
[40:19] | Well, my contract with Atlantic is up in about a year. | |
[40:25] | Do you got anybody in your corner? | |
[40:28] | Not like you. | |
[40:30] | You remember when we would listen to a recording and you | |
[40:32] | would say feels good today but let’s see how it feels in the morning? | |
[40:35] | Yeah, sure. | |
[40:37] | Nothing I’m recording is passing that test. | |
[40:42] | So, what are you going to do? | |
[40:45] | Think I’m gonna do something new. | |
[40:51] | You going to let me in on your secret? | |
[40:54] | It’s not a secret. | |
[40:55] | Ruth is booking me a gig head lining in Las Vegas. | |
[41:05] | Interesting. | |
[41:07] | And I will be singing a show full of disco songs. | |
[41:16] | Don’t you say it. | |
[41:17] | Do not say I told you so. | |
[41:20] | I’m not. | |
[41:22] | Are you laughing at me? | |
[41:23] | I’m not laughing at you, I. | |
[41:27] | You’re laughing at me. You think I sold out? | |
[41:29] | No, absolutely not. | |
[41:30] | No, no, no, you’re an artist. | |
[41:32] | Okay, you’re experimenting. | |
[41:34] | You’re, you’re pushing yourself like you always do. | |
[41:36] | You know, if you weren’t afraid to try new things, | |
[41:38] | you’d still be singing gospel music in a church. | |
[41:41] | You know, you change with the times, | |
[41:43] | but you always find a way to remain true to yourself. | |
[41:48] | That’s part of your brilliance. | |
[41:51] | You know, I guess I’m going to have to find a new nickname for | |
[41:56] | you because Our Lady of Mysterious Sorrows | |
[42:00] | doesn’t really apply anymore because you’re happy. | |
[42:06] | – Yeah. | – Yeah. |
[42:11] | I’ll do it then. | |
[42:12] | Yeah, do it. Good, yes. | |
[42:15] | Just, just keep going. Okay? | |
[42:23] | Yeah. | |
[42:25] | Is that a deal, Ms. Franklin? | |
[42:28] | That is a deal, Mr. Wexler. | |
[42:30] | All right, let’s celebrate with some of this world-famous cake. | |
[42:35] | Well, I hope you like it. | |
[42:36] | It’s my, my grandmamma’s recipe. | |
[42:38] | Mmm, woah, that’s really good. | |
[42:41] | What store did this come from? | |
[42:42] | Now, you know that it was not a store bought. | |
[42:45] | What store did your grandmother get it at? | |
[42:47] | I’m kidding. | |
[42:57] | Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together. | |
[43:00] | The Queen of Soul. | |
[43:10] | That was really good, so good… | |
[43:13] | Ooh. you’ve got a crowd out there who loves you. | |
[43:16] | – And you look good. – Mm-hmm. | |
[43:17] | You look like you’re having fun. | |
[43:19] | I am. I feel good. | |
[43:21] | Nice. | |
[43:22] | Right on. | |
[44:54] | Are you all ready for some more? | |
[44:56] | I can’t hear you. | |
[44:58] | Are you ready for some more? | |
[45:01] | Well, then give it up for your Queen of Soul, | |
