| [00:03] | Yes, she is. Yes, she is. | |
| [00:10] | Ha-ha! That’s my daughter. | |
| [00:13] | I taught the Queen of Soul everything she knows, | |
| [00:16] | especially them dance numbers. | |
| [00:19] | What do you say we continue at my house? | |
| [00:21] | What I was really hoping was that you’d pass | |
| [00:24] | my songs along to your daughter. | |
| [00:26] | She could use some new material. | |
| [00:28] | I am leaving Atlantic. | |
| [00:31] | Ain’t that some shit? | |
| [00:33] | Jerry left Atlantic and I still have two years left. | |
| [00:36] | I don’t think I have anything else to give. | |
| [00:39] | I’m done. | |
| [00:42] | And there’s Glynn Turman, | |

| [06:16] | Doctor says he’s stable. | |
| [06:18] | They shot him in the groin? | |
| [06:19] | And in the knee. | |
| [06:21] | They know who did it? | |
| [06:23] | We’ll hear more from the detective. | |
| [06:25] | Look, baby, your father lost a lot of blood. | |
| [06:29] | But he’s stable, you said he was stable. | |
| [06:30] | He is. | |
| [06:32] | He’s stable but the doctor’s just not sure when he’ll wake up. | |
| [06:35] | He’ll wake up. He will. He will. | |
| [06:41] | They’re calling it a light coma. | |
| [06:42] | What does that even mean? | |
| [06:44] | He could be unconscious for some time. | |
| [06:54] | What do you need? | |
| [06:57] | What can I do for you? | |

| [07:39] | Now, see, that’s a voice. | |
| [07:41] | Mm-hmm. | |
| [07:42] | – You could out sing her. – Mm-hmm. | |
| [07:44] | No. Now, come on, opera? | |
| [07:46] | Uh, yeah, come on, girl, now you know you got skills. | |
| [07:49] | It would be like when we got those roller skates. | |
| [07:50] | At first, you were falling down more than anybody. | |
| [07:54] | Then after one day she was skating around all of | |
| [07:56] | us doing circles and tricks and everything all around us. | |
| [07:59] | Do remember when we was trying to go out, sneaking? | |
| [08:01] | Oh, Daddy hollered from his office. | |
| [08:04] | Now you, you will not be going roller skating | |
| [08:06] | with those boys at, at this time of night. | |
| [08:12] | Only it was 5:00 in the afternoon. | |
| [08:14] | But it was on a Sunday. | |
| [08:16] | Our Daddy was a piece of work. | |
| [08:17] | Yes. Oh, remember that red Cadillac he had? | |
| [08:20] | – Which one? – Oh, all of them. | |
| [08:22] | You know he stayed looking sharp all the time, | |
| [08:24] | cleaner than the Board of Health. | |
| [08:26] | – Yes. | – Yes. |
| [08:27] | That reminds me, we have to get his car washed | |
| [08:29] | twice a week because you know that once he wakes up, | |
| [08:30] | he’s going to walk down those stairs, | |
| [08:32] | open up the windows, | |
| [08:33] | take a look outside and say, now, how often are, are, | |
| [08:37] | are you washing my cars? | |
| [08:40] | That’s your sister, mm-hmm, nope. | |
| [08:42] | Cecil. | |
| [08:43] | You know I’m telling the truth. | |
| [08:44] | Well, I ain’t washing no cars. | |
| [08:46] | Re, you know we love you. | |
| [08:51] | But you know we can handle this. | |
| [08:53] | Okay? | |
| [08:55] | We were right to bring him home instead of | |
| [08:57] | putting him in one of those facilities. | |
| [08:59] | Yeah. | |
| [09:00] | We’re just saying you don’t have to be rushing back | |
| [09:02] | and forth between here and LA. | |
| [09:05] | You know you don’t have to be making sacrifices. | |
| [09:06] | Now, I’m not making no sacrifices. | |
| [09:08] | All right. | |
| [09:09] | You’re not avoiding going home, are you? | |
| [09:10] | Why would I be avoiding going home? | |
| [09:12] | Well, your new album didn’t do as good as you hoped. | |
| [09:15] | And we know you got one foot out the door at Atlantic. | |
| [09:17] | That’s because they want me to be | |
| [09:19] | opening act for one of their rock bands. | |
| [09:21] | Opening act? | |
| [09:21] | Said it would be a good exposure. | |
| [09:24] | See, the record business is some bullshit. | |
| [09:26] | Sometimes, yes. | |
| [09:27] | All the time. | |
| [09:30] | I need, I need a Daddy pep talk. | |
| [09:33] | Oh, we got you. | |
| [09:34] | Come on, come on, Carolyn. | |
| [09:36] | Re, you got to go back home and get back on that horse. | |
| [09:40] | Yeah, cause no child of CL Franklin going to take no mess now. | |
| [09:46] | Oh, oh, I got you, I got you, look. | |
| [09:48] | Take some of this liquid courage, okay. | |
| [09:50] | Oh boy. | |
| [09:51] | Watch out now, Re, watch out. | |
| [09:53] | Sunday! | |
| [09:54] | Or you could, you know, you could just go back home | |
| [09:56] | and lean on that handsome husband of yours. | |
| [09:59] | Come on. | |
| [10:00] | ♪ And let him take all your troubles away ♪ | |
| [10:03] | Get on out of here. | |
| [10:06] | That would be nice, but Daddy seems to be healing | |
| [10:09] | ’cause I’m by his side, so. | |
| [10:22] | How you doing, baby? | |
| [10:24] | I’m all right. | |
| [10:25] | Boys are happy to be back in school. | |
| [10:26] | Boys doing their homework? | |
| [10:28] | With my help. | |
| [10:30] | Even with algebra. | |
| [10:31] | Well, you the best. | |
| [10:33] | Trying to be. | |
| [10:34] | Hey, you book your ticket back home yet? | |
| [10:35] | I was just home. | |
| [10:37] | Three weeks ago. | |
| [10:38] | The doctors say that we, | |
| [10:39] | we should sit with Daddy and talk with him. | |
| [10:42] | They say that he can hear us. | |
| [10:44] | And yesterday when I squeezed his hand, he, he smiled. | |
| [10:47] | That’s good news. | |
| [10:48] | So, you coming home for Thanksgiving? | |
| [10:50] | Maybe you all could come here | |
| [10:52] | And for Christmas too? | |
| [10:54] | Cold Detroit for Christmas. | |
| [10:56] | It’ll be a celebration. | |
| [10:59] | Well, speaking of celebrations there, | |
| [11:01] | there’s some events going on out here I don’t think | |
| [11:04] | you want to miss, | |
| [11:05] | Some industry stuff. | |
| [11:07] | I was thinking we’d get all dressed up and we show our faces. | |
| [11:10] | Because otherwise people will forget me? | |
| [11:11] | Baby, I just want you to have some fun, that’s all. | |
| [11:13] | I can’t just leave everything with Erma | |
| [11:15] | and Carolyn, that wouldn’t be fair. | |
| [11:17] | Baby, you have a nurse | |
| [11:19] | Around the clock. | |
| [11:24] | I love you. | |
| [11:27] | I love you too. | |
| [11:29] | But it’s important for me to be home right now. | |
| [11:31] | Then come home then baby, I miss you. | |
| [11:34] | I mean with Daddy. | |
| [11:36] | It’s important for me to be home right now because | |
| [11:38] | there are certain things that only I can do. | |
| [11:40] | Baby, what I mean is | |
| [11:42] | me and the boys, we’re your family too. | |
| [11:47] | I want to be with you and the boys more than | |
| [11:49] | you know but it’s, I, I have to be home right now. | |
| [11:55] | I’m sorry, baby. I really am. | |
| [11:58] | Okay, baby, | |
| [12:01] | Okay. | |
| [12:41] | Come on down here and join the party. | |
| [12:44] | Come on. That’s my girl. | |
| [13:12] | I pray every day that you’ll wake up, | |
| [13:16] | show me who I’m supposed to be. | |
| [13:19] | You’re always there cheering me on, | |
| [13:27] | showing me the way. | |
| [13:29] | I’m always going to protect you. | |
| [13:31] | You remember that. | |
| [13:35] | Made me feel special. | |
| [13:39] | – Amen, Amen. – Aw, that’s sweet. | |
| [13:43] | Sing it little girl. | |
| [13:50] | This doesn’t work without you. | |
| [13:54] | So, if you wake up, I’ll figure out what I’m supposed to do. | |
| [14:07] | Lord, thank you for this food. | |
| [14:09] | Let this food give us the strength we need to continue on our day. | |
| [14:12] | Bless everyone who helped us prepare this food. | |
| [14:16] | In the son Jesus’ name, amen. | |
| [14:18] | Amen. | |
| [14:39] | Well, your father is proud of each and every one of you. | |
| [14:42] | You know, I would have never soloed in New Bethel Church | |
| [14:45] | in front of all those people if it hadn’t have been for Daddy. | |
| [14:47] | That’s true, he pushed you. | |
| [14:49] | I was scared for you. | |
| [14:50] | You were scared? I was scared. | |
| [14:52] | I was jealous, just a little bit. | |
| [14:55] | Yeah, well, I was proud. | |
| [14:58] | Well, who’s going to push me now? | |
| [15:01] | Daddy’s sick, music business is changing, | |
| [15:05] | and I feel a little bit like I’m on my own. | |
| [15:10] | You still have us to lean on. | |
| [15:12] | That’s right. | |
| [15:13] | Thank you. | |
| [15:15] | And I will but I think, I think I’m going to push myself. | |
| [15:20] | Okay. | |
| [15:22] | And I think I know how. | |
| [15:25] | All right. | |
| [15:26] | – What you cooking up, sis? – What you got in mind? | |
| [15:37] | Clive, you want some hot sauce with that? | |
| [15:40] | It’s delicious, plenty spicy, thank you. | |
| [15:44] | I heard you were mostly in Detroit these days, | |
| [15:46] | so I was excited to get your call. | |
| [15:48] | Well, I’m helping family. | |
| [15:49] | I heard. How’s your dad? | |
| [15:51] | We pray he’s on the mend, | |
| [15:52] | but holidays are hard. | |
| [15:55] | We’re all together but it wasn’t like old times. | |
| [15:58] | I appreciate you taking the time here. | |
| [16:01] | Are you sure you’re not going to tell me your secret recipe? | |
| [16:03] | Clive, you’re going to learn that my momma’s recipes | |
| [16:05] | are not the only thing I like to keep to myself. | |
| [16:07] | Okay. Shop talk only then. | |
| [16:11] | I can tell you that Arista is prepared to offer you | |
| [16:13] | considerably more money than Atlantic. | |
| [16:16] | That’s good but money is not the only thing that’s | |
| [16:18] | going to get me to sign with you. | |
| [16:21] | Music keeps changing and I want to keep changing with it. | |
| [16:24] | Well, don’t worry. | |
| [16:25] | We are going to capitalize on what you do well. | |
| [16:28] | I can provide you with the best material, the best producer. | |
| [16:31] | I want somebody who doesn’t put me in a box. | |
| [16:33] | Someone who I can trust. | |
| [16:36] | It was such a failure of Columbia that they | |
| [16:38] | couldn’t help you like Wexler did. | |
| [16:40] | But I see you’re continuing to develop the kind of music you’re making. | |
| [16:44] | And your tenacity is your greatest asset. | |
| [16:47] | You are shaping viewpoints and perspectives. | |
| [16:50] | You are right up there with The Beatles and Bob Dylan | |
| [16:53] | as one of the giants in contemporary culture. | |
| [16:56] | Clive, I’m almost 40. | |
| [16:58] | I’ve been making records since I was 14 years old. | |
| [17:00] | At this point in my career, I just want to have fun. | |
| [17:03] | I want to try something new. | |
| [17:05] | I want to sing whatever I want to sing, | |
| [17:07] | with whoever I want to sing it with, | |
| [17:09] | and I want someone who doesn’t use the years I have | |
| [17:11] | on my back to push me to the back of the line. | |
| [17:14] | I have earned and I deserve control of my career. | |
| [17:19] | You are Aretha Franklin. | |
| [17:22] | If you never recorded another note you’d live forever. | |
| [17:25] | I’m sitting here because you’re timeless. | |
| [17:28] | I just want to be a part of your history. | |

| [19:08] | You and Clive Davis are on a roll. | |
| [19:11] | There’s nothing you can’t sing the hell out of. | |
| [19:13] | Re, I cannot believe you’re moving back to Detroit. | |
| [19:16] | It’s not like I’m going back to Daddy’s house. | |
| [19:18] | Where you going to live? | |
| [19:19] | Okay, with all the success you’ve been having lately, | |
| [19:21] | can we celebrate? | |
| [19:23] | Back on top of the charts. | |
| [19:25] | Mm-hmm. Let’s hope it stays like that. | |
| [19:29] | What are you afraid of, sis? | |
| [19:31] | Nothing. | |
| [19:34] | Re, we’ve all got to make peace with the fact | |
| [19:36] | that Daddy isn’t going to be getting any better. | |
| [19:39] | He’s just not going to be able to be there | |
| [19:41] | for us the way he used to be. | |
| [19:42] | It’s been four years. | |
| [19:44] | And I’ve got to face that. | |
| [19:53] | Everybody keeps telling me to let you go but | |
| [19:55] | I don’t know who I am without you. | |
| [19:58] | I am who I am because of you. | |
| [20:03] | My gifts and my griefs. | |
| [20:15] | I… I’m not ready to let you leave yet. | |
| [20:27] | You’ll leave behind a, a wound that will never heal. | |
| [20:34] | I don’t want to walk around being an open wound. | |
| [20:43] | And I know that if you were here you would say trust in | |
| [20:47] | God’s will and read your Bible. | |
| [20:51] | But that ain’t going to do it. | |

| [28:54] | “I Knew You Were Waiting” | |
| [28:55] | your first Billboard Number One since “Respect”! | |
| [29:01] | Congratulations. | |
| [29:05] | Welcome back. | |
| [29:07] | We’re here with Mrs. Aretha Franklin. | |
| [29:09] | Do you mind? | |
| [29:11] | – Yes. – Thank you so much. | |
| [29:16] | Wow. Look at that. 1967. | |
| [29:21] | I didn’t realize how skinny I was back then. | |
| [29:24] | Well, you still look incredible. | |
| [29:26] | Well, what they say? | |
| [29:27] | “Black don’t crack,” is that what they say? | |
| [29:29] | And your black is definitely not cracking. | |
| [29:33] | All right. | |
| [29:34] | Well, now you take care of that one. | |
| [29:35] | I think it’s going to be a collector’s item one day. | |
| [29:37] | Thank you so much. It really means the world to me. | |
| [29:40] | Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. | |
| [29:42] | It’s been 30 years since your first Grammy for | |
| [29:44] | “Respect” and since then you’ve been making chart topping, | |
| [29:47] | award winning music. | |
| [29:49] | Even though your life has been full of many milestones | |
| [29:52] | and iconic moments, it hasn’t been free of controversy. | |
| [29:55] | Name one. | |
| [29:57] | Well, like when you made the transition from Gospel | |
| [30:00] | music to secular music. | |
| [30:01] | I didn’t transition at all. | |
| [30:03] | I just wanted to spread my wings a little bit. | |
| [30:06] | And for the record, everything I do is rooted in the church. | |
| [30:09] | It’s who I am, it’s what I sing. | |
| [30:13] | I could sing “Mary had a Little Lamb” | |
| [30:14] | and it would still sound like church. | |
| [30:17] | In a way, everything I do is Gospel, even the love song. | |
| [30:21] | You’re a very private person, is that on purpose? | |
| [30:25] | I think so. | |
| [30:27] | But if you listen to the music, everything you need to know is in there. | |
| [30:29] | Has it been difficult for you living your life so publicly? | |
| [30:32] | I think of it more as a gift than a curse. | |
| [30:36] | Somehow you take the difficult stuff of your life and | |
| [30:40] | you turn it into songs that people love and will listen to forever. | |
| [30:45] | It’s like you take lead and turn it into gold. | |
| [30:49] | Well, I think that everybody has a story to tell. | |
| [30:54] | Mine just happens to be through song because that’s | |
| [30:57] | where you’ll find me, right in the music. | |
| [31:00] | My spirit will always be around you. | |
| [31:02] | Not a lot of people can say that but I’m grateful that I can. | |
| [31:06] | You never give up, do you? | |
| [31:08] | No, that’s why there will never be another me. | |

| [33:31] | Oh, shit, speak for yourself. | |
| [33:37] | What you got coming up? | |
| [33:39] | Grammy’s. | |
| [33:41] | I’m going to sing one of the hits. | |
| [33:42] | Oh, that ought to be fun, right? | |
| [33:44] | I’m thinking about doing something for MusiCares and Pavarotti. | |
| [33:48] | – The maestro? – Mm-hmm. | |
| [33:49] | Mm-hmm, you are so brave, girl. | |
| [33:54] | Always finding new ways to fly. | |
| [33:58] | Well, thanks, sis. | |
| [34:08] | Let’s give another round of respect for Aretha Franklin. | |
| [34:21] | You were wonderful, Ms. Franklin. | |
| [34:22] | I think it went all right, thank you. | |
| [34:31] | The parties are going to be fun, | |
| [34:33] | which one you want to wear? | |
| [34:36] | – That one. – You sang great. | |
| [34:38] | You don’t feel good about it? | |
| [34:40] | I’m all right. | |
| [34:41] | Girl, you had that Grammy audience eating out of your hand. | |
| [34:49] | Who is it? | |
| [34:50] | I’m sorry to bother you, Mrs. Franklin. | |
| [34:52] | But I just got a call. | |
| [34:53] | Who died? | |
| [34:54] | Nobody died but Mr. Pavarotti, | |
| [34:55] | he’s come down with a cold, he’s sick. | |
| [34:57] | Tonight, he was supposed to sing “Nessun Dorma”. | |
| [34:59] | Oh, we’re so sorry he’s not feeling well. | |
| [35:01] | His doctor says he shouldn’t perform. | |
| [35:03] | Well, what does that have to do with me? | |
| [35:05] | Well, we have the musicians and the choir ready to go. | |
| [35:07] | Now, I know you sang the song two nights ago. | |
| [35:10] | I’m sorry, Mr. Ehrlich. | |
| [35:12] | MusiCares was a small charity event. | |
| [35:14] | When was he supposed to go on? | |
| [35:15] | In about 15 minutes. | |
| [35:18] | You bring me the lyrics and I | |
| [35:20] | need to hear a recording of his rehearsal. | |
| [35:22] | Great. Thank you, Ms. Franklin. | |
| [35:30] | Sis, you singing opera at the Grammys. | |
| [35:35] | It’s a live broadcast. | |
| [35:37] | I know. | |
| [35:38] | Re, there are at least 25 million people out there. | |
| [35:41] | Maybe it’s time for me to show them that I still got it. | |

| [36:17] | I’ve got a lot of secrets. | |
| [36:21] | The people won’t sleep until they’ve discovered the singer’s secret. | |
| [36:28] | “Nessun Dorma” means no one sleeps. | |
| [36:32] | And what happens when they find out? | |

| [36:59] | We appreciate you considering Ms. Franklin for this very | |
| [37:03] | daring idea but she’ll sing one of her hits or | |
