ARETHA: I'm worried, Daddy.
107
00:04:32,689 --> 00:04:34,959
It's calm right here in,

108
00:04:34,983 --> 00:04:36,377
only a matter of time before

I've got my gun.
116
00:04:50,207 --> 00:04:51,143

CL: I'll keep everybody safe,
Re.
118
00:04:52,959 --> 00:04:54,604
You take care of yourself.

ARETHA: All right. Bye, Daddy.
120
00:05:04,888 --> 00:05:06,223
Uh-uh.
121
00:05:08,016 --> 00:05:10,352
They put a crown on my head,
and you punched me in my face.
122
00:05:10,685 --> 00:05:12,813
TED: Things got out
of hand for both of us.
123
00:05:13,313 --> 00:05:15,416
I'm sorry. I'm
cleaning up my act.
124
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,043
ARETHA: Well, until you can prove
that you can keep sleeping on the couch.
125
00:05:17,067 --> 00:05:18,711
TED: Come on now,

126
00:05:18,735 --> 00:05:20,588
TED: Look, don't let that
"Queen" stuff get to your head.
127
00:05:20,612 --> 00:05:23,332
ARETHA: I'm going to let that
"Queen" thing go wherever I want it to.
128

ANNOUNCER (over TV): A lot of
us are looking at these images on TV
131
00:05:31,498 --> 00:05:35,895
of people, negros, fighting the
police and wondering how is thi
132
00:05:35,919 --> 00:05:38,064
going to make things better?
133
00:05:38,088 --> 00:05:41,550
KING (over TV): Well, what we don't
see on our TVs is how the fighting started.
134
00:05:42,509 --> 00:05:46,155
If a peaceful person has
violence inflicted upon him,
135
00:05:46,179 --> 00:05:48,932
unfortunately,
violence is often the result.
136
00:05:49,474 --> 00:05:51,536
ARETHA: I remember the first time he
came and preached at my daddy's church.
137
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,204
ANNOUNCER (over TV): Do you
believe in the power of nonviolence?
138
00:05:53,228 --> 00:05:55,206
KING (over TV): I believe
that physical force is best
139
00:05:55,230 --> 00:05:57,315
met with the power of the soul.
140
00:05:57,983 --> 00:06:01,712
I would ask people of all races
to ask themselves how can
141
00:06:01,736 --> 00:06:04,698
I help and how
can I be of service?
142
00:06:05,740 --> 00:06:08,344
ARETHA: He's right.
I want to be of service.
143
00:06:08,368 --> 00:06:09,971

How you going to fit that
into your busy schedule?
146
00:06:14,749 --> 00:06:17,669
ARETHA: How I fit it in my
schedule ain't your business.
147
00:06:18,837 --> 00:06:21,006
But I'm going to
find something to do.
148
00:06:22,883 --> 00:06:26,469

153
00:06:43,361 --> 00:06:45,322
ARETHA: It's too easy.
154
00:06:46,156 --> 00:06:48,909
RUTH: Uh, let me call you back. Okay,
thank you, uh-huh.
155

ARETHA: There's
no longing and pain.

People are fighting
and dying out there,
157
00:06:52,746 --> 00:06:54,390
I don't feel none
of that in this.
158
00:06:54,414 --> 00:06:57,167
CAROLYN: Well, maybe that's
just cause you're holding back.
159
00:07:02,005 --> 00:07:04,483
Aretha,
you've got to put some of you in there.
160
00:07:04,507 --> 00:07:06,051
Come on.
161

165
00:07:33,787 --> 00:07:34,972
ARETHA: Stop.
166
00:07:34,996 --> 00:07:36,706

NAT: Excuse me.
195
00:09:12,010 --> 00:09:13,696
Now, what does a brother
have to do to get a beautiful

00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,322
woman like you
to sign right here.
197
00:09:15,346 --> 00:09:17,116
ARETHA: You need to
tell me what I'm signing.
198
00:09:17,140 --> 00:09:18,993
NAT: Can I at least
tell you my name first?
199
00:09:19,017 --> 00:09:20,786
ARETHA: Mm-hmm. NAT: I'm Nat.

You're Aretha Franklin.

00:09:47,087 --> 00:09:50,149

breath of fresh air,

00:09:50,173 --> 00:09:52,634
hoping to find a way
to make a difference.
212
00:09:53,218 --> 00:09:56,447
Maybe I can help you
hand out some flyers.
213
00:09:56,471 --> 00:09:58,932
NAT: Absolutely. Here you go.
214
00:09:59,224 --> 00:10:01,505

Here you go.

JERRY: Ms. Franklin. I
thought I'd find you here.
233
00:10:35,927 --> 00:10:36,946

JERRY: This is the guy who's got a
studio full of musicians waiting on her.

00:10:47,230 --> 00:10:50,084
It was very nice to meet you,
would you excuse us please?
240
00:10:50,108 --> 00:10:51,818
NAT: Would you excuse us?
241
00:10:55,029 --> 00:10:57,466
I can't wait to tell everyone I
met the most beautiful woman
242
00:10:57,490 --> 00:10:59,909

being Aretha Franklin.

do need to get going.

00:11:14,090 --> 00:11:15,985
PROTESTER: Stop
the war in Vietnam!
249
00:11:16,009 --> 00:11:18,696

ending and I just can't sit by and watch.
250
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,281
JERRY: So, you hand out flyers?
251
00:11:20,305 --> 00:11:21,407

honorable work.
253
00:11:24,017 --> 00:11:27,103
But right now,
we need you in the studio focused.
254
00:11:27,353 --> 00:11:29,856

right. JERRY: I am?
255
00:11:30,690 --> 00:11:33,193
ARETHA: I need to go
where I can reach most people.
256
00:11:35,445 --> 00:11:37,631
CROWD: Not people,
war on poverty!
257
00:11:37,655 --> 00:11:40,074

Which music you like better,

ARETHA: Do I gotta choose?
294
00:13:50,163 --> 00:13:52,599
BROTHER CLEVELAND: You know,
gospel folks think that pop is sinful.
295
00:13:52,623 --> 00:13:54,935

likes all types of music.
296
00:13:54,959 --> 00:13:58,129

300
00:14:08,181 --> 00:14:10,600
I didn't have a

301
00:14:13,061 --> 00:14:15,080

After our break,

we'll return with more of
The Alan Bachman Show.
308

TED: You're doing great. Need
me to go back out there with you?
309
00:14:31,329 --> 00:14:32,806
ARETHA: No. RUTH:
You wanted to do this.
310
00:14:32,830 --> 00:14:34,308
ARETHA: That doesn't
make it any easier.
311
00:14:34,332 --> 00:14:35,851
RUTH: Look, you'll be fine.
312
00:14:35,875 --> 00:14:37,144
He'll want to hear about the
new record and then he'll ask
313
00:14:37,168 --> 00:14:38,687
you some softball questions
about the movement.
314
00:14:38,711 --> 00:14:40,189
ARETHA: What was I thinking?
315
00:14:40,213 --> 00:14:42,024
RUTH: Just say whatever's
on your mind and then if that
316
00:14:42,048 --> 00:14:43,758
doesn't work,
talk about the new record.
317
00:14:44,300 --> 00:14:45,402
TED: Need a little help?
318
00:14:45,426 --> 00:14:47,386
ARETHA: No. I
need to stay focused.
319
00:14:48,096 --> 00:14:50,306
RUTH: You got this.
320
00:14:53,684 --> 00:14:56,270
ALAN: Thank you,
that was wonderful Aretha.
321
00:14:57,105 --> 00:15:00,233
They named you
"The Queen of Soul".
322
00:15:01,651 --> 00:15:03,378
Did they give you a crown?
323
00:15:03,402 --> 00:15:06,202
ARETHA: They did, Allen, but I
only wear it on official state business.
324
00:15:06,531 --> 00:15:09,093
ALAN: You've been performing
a lot of sold out shows.
325
00:15:09,117 --> 00:15:10,928
You must be making
a lot of money.
326
00:15:10,952 --> 00:15:12,745
ARETHA: Oh, a lady never tells.
327
00:15:14,705 --> 00:15:17,476
ALAN: Things are getting pretty
hot in your hometown of Detroit,
328
00:15:17,500 --> 00:15:19,603
and I'm not just talking
about the weather.
329
00:15:19,627 --> 00:15:23,107
There have been a lot of riots
across the country this summer,
330
00:15:23,131 --> 00:15:25,526
some people are
saying that Detroit is next.
331
00:15:25,550 --> 00:15:27,111
ARETHA: Well, I hope not.
332
00:15:27,135 --> 00:15:31,698
ALAN: Some people think that
things are better for the negro
333
00:15:31,722 --> 00:15:35,369
now then they've been,
let's say, a few years ago.
334
00:15:35,393 --> 00:15:37,436
Can you explain the
reason for the riots?
335
00:15:37,979 --> 00:15:41,125
ARETHA: Well, what I wanted
to say that I agree with Dr. King.
336
00:15:41,149 --> 00:15:43,502
I think that now is the
time for love and healing.
337
00:15:43,526 --> 00:15:45,629
ALAN: We've heard a lot
from Dr. King these days.
338
00:15:45,653 --> 00:15:49,007
And your music has certainly
touched a lot of people.
339
00:15:49,031 --> 00:15:51,760
You've sold millions of records;
340
00:15:51,784 --> 00:15:55,889
do you feel pressure as
a successful singer to do
341
00:15:55,913 --> 00:15:57,874
something about what's going on?
342
00:16:01,043 --> 00:16:03,504
ARETHA: Not pressure,
opportunity.
343
00:16:06,048 --> 00:16:09,510

help? What do they need?
367
00:17:16,118 --> 00:17:17,971
CECIL: They need help
paying they hospital bills,

funeral expenses.
369
00:17:18,996 --> 00:17:20,098
ARETHA: We need to help people,
370
00:17:20,122 --> 00:17:21,308
raise some money
so they could rebuild.
371

ARETHA: I'll work around them,
it's not important.

00:17:26,212 --> 00:17:27,397
This is important.

agree with you more.

00:17:30,216 --> 00:17:31,276
ARETHA: You could preach, Daddy.
378
00:17:31,300 --> 00:17:32,528
I could sing.
379
00:17:32,552 --> 00:17:34,154
We could ask other people.
380
00:17:34,178 --> 00:17:37,157
People would help
Detroit because of you.
381
00:17:37,181 --> 00:17:38,325
CL: Then let's do that.
382
00:17:38,349 --> 00:17:39,785
But first,
let's get going on this.
383
00:17:39,809 --> 00:17:42,162
We've got to help
our people here.

MOTHER FRANKLIN: Dr. King,
it is a pleasure and an honor
391
00:18:05,084 --> 00:18:06,562
to have you in our home.
392
00:18:06,586 --> 00:18:08,838

I know you're busy the
way your career's going.

00:18:23,227 --> 00:18:24,621
ARETHA: Well,
I live in New York,
401
00:18:24,645 --> 00:18:26,456
but Detroit will
always be my home.
402
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,458
TED: I try to make sure she comes
back to Detroit whenever she can.
403
00:18:28,482 --> 00:18:30,377
KING: And if you ever need
something done in Detroit,

00:18:30,401 --> 00:18:32,796
everyone knows to call
on Reverend CL Franklin.
405
00:18:32,820 --> 00:18:34,298
CL: Come on now, come on now.
406
00:18:34,322 --> 00:18:36,133

Southern Christian
Leadership Conference
408
00:18:37,783 --> 00:18:39,469
has been struggling financially.
409
00:18:39,493 --> 00:18:41,847
They've been telling me
the best way to raise money
410
00:18:41,871 --> 00:18:43,640
is to hold benefit concerts.
411
00:18:43,664 --> 00:18:47,269
So, been hitting the road
with the likes of Harry Belafonte
412
00:18:47,293 --> 00:18:49,563

just to name a few.
413
00:18:49,587 --> 00:18:51,815

415
00:18:53,215 --> 00:18:54,651

416
00:18:54,675 --> 00:18:56,028
KING: I don't want to pull you
away from Detroit, Reverend.
417
00:18:56,052 --> 00:18:58,071
CL: Oh, no, no, no, no.
418
00:18:58,095 --> 00:19:01,175
ARETHA: I think what Dr. King is saying
is that he only needs singers to help.
419
00:19:01,390 --> 00:19:05,370
CL: Well, Detroit needs its favorite
daughter now more than ever.
420
00:19:05,394 --> 00:19:07,873
ARETHA: But with Dr. King I
could reach so many more people.
421
00:19:07,897 --> 00:19:09,833
KING: Your daughter
would draw a crowd.
422
00:19:09,857 --> 00:19:11,168
That would be
quite a boon for us.
423
00:19:11,192 --> 00:19:12,836
TED: We actually would
love to make this happen.
424
00:19:12,860 --> 00:19:14,046
We just got to
review the schedule.
425
00:19:14,070 --> 00:19:15,589
CL: The schedule's
grueling as it is.
426
00:19:15,613 --> 00:19:17,424
You don't want to spread yourself too thin,
baby.
427
00:19:17,448 --> 00:19:18,884
KING: Normally, I'd agree.
428
00:19:18,908 --> 00:19:20,886
But your daughter's a star of
international prominence and
429
00:19:20,910 --> 00:19:23,055
that comes with a
certain responsibility.
430
00:19:23,079 --> 00:19:24,348
ARETHA: Come on, Daddy.
431
00:19:24,372 --> 00:19:26,791
There's enough
of me to go around.
432
00:19:27,917 --> 00:19:31,754
CL: If Dr. King thinks it's best then,
well, of course.
433
00:19:32,463 --> 00:19:35,817
ARETHA: And if you need me in Detroit,
I'll be here.
434
00:19:35,841 --> 00:19:38,403
KING: The SCLC is having
our annual banquet soon.
435
00:19:38,427 --> 00:19:40,447
Surely you can join us then.
436

CL: Well,
I'll show up wherever I'm invited.
437
00:19:42,973 --> 00:19:44,910
ARETHA: How about I join you
all for the next couple of weeks?
438
00:19:44,934 --> 00:19:47,019
KING: Amen. That'd be beautiful.
439
00:19:51,649 --> 00:19:55,152

440
00:19:56,320 --> 00:20:00,241

better than she did last year.

to the environment now,
447
00:20:18,759 --> 00:20:19,820
that's what it is.

MAN: We already,
already agreed on your fee.
456
00:20:42,908 --> 00:20:45,345
CL: The word of
God has no price,

00:20:45,369 --> 00:20:49,081
but I know you charging
for them extra chairs.
458

00:23:05,175 --> 00:23:06,695

00:23:06,719 --> 00:23:07,946
? You got a wings ?
510
00:23:07,970 --> 00:23:10,598
? All of God's
children got wings ?
511
00:23:10,973 --> 00:23:12,117
? When I get to heaven ?
512
00:23:12,141 --> 00:23:13,535
? I'm gonna put on my wings ?
513
00:23:13,559 --> 00:23:15,686

514
00:23:15,978 --> 00:23:18,164
WOMAN: Now,

515
00:23:18,188 --> 00:23:19,815
WOMAN 3: Yeah, who is the daddy?
516
00:23:20,065 --> 00:23:21,626

517
00:23:21,650 --> 00:23:22,669

? I'm gonna fly all
over God's Heaven ??
520
00:23:33,245 --> 00:23:35,599
ARETHA: I better
put the picture away.
521
00:23:35,623 --> 00:23:36,725
WOMAN: Give it back, Darlene.
522
00:23:36,749 --> 00:23:38,834
SAMMIE: Let me see.
523
00:23:39,251 --> 00:23:41,897
Ya'll keep your hands off of
other people's' precious things.
524
00:23:41,921 --> 00:23:43,189
Come on, Re.
525
00:23:43,213 --> 00:23:45,174
Let's go.
526
00:23:49,219 --> 00:23:52,514
Girl, let's get away from them.
527
00:23:54,975 --> 00:23:57,370
Re, honey,
you don't need to pay them gals no mind.
528
00:23:57,394 --> 00:24:00,248
I know you was raised
to respect your elders,
529
00:24:00,272 --> 00:24:02,942
but you don't need to give
them mean gals the time of day.
530
00:24:03,567 --> 00:24:04,878
ARETHA: I'll remember that.
531
00:24:04,902 --> 00:24:08,048
SAMMIE: Next time they come for you,
look for me.
532
00:24:08,072 --> 00:24:10,884
Cause I'm going
to look out for you.
533
00:24:10,908 --> 00:24:12,260
I knew your mother;
534
00:24:12,284 --> 00:24:15,263
she had that same shine you got.
535
00:24:15,287 --> 00:24:16,973
She'd be proud of you.
536
00:24:16,997 --> 00:24:19,351
ARETHA: I don't think Momma
would be proud of me having a baby.
537
00:24:19,375 --> 00:24:24,088
SAMMIE: If your momma was around
that baby wouldn't have happened.
538
00:24:28,217 --> 00:24:30,195
Is the father helping?
539
00:24:30,219 --> 00:24:33,698
You ain't got to tell me who he is,
all I want to know is,
540
00:24:33,722 --> 00:24:35,116
is he helping?
541
00:24:35,140 --> 00:24:36,451
ARETHA: It's all right, Sammie.
542
00:24:36,475 --> 00:24:38,894
You don't have
to worry about me.
543
00:24:45,901 --> 00:24:47,295
SAMMIE: What do you
like to do for fun when you
544
00:24:47,319 --> 00:24:49,673
not on the road?
545
00:24:49,697 --> 00:24:52,258
ARETHA: Roller skate,
listen to the radio.
546
00:24:52,282 --> 00:24:54,970
SAMMIE: Have you heard that
song Loveable by Dale Cooke?
547
00:24:54,994 --> 00:24:56,638
ARETHA: You don't know?
548
00:24:56,662 --> 00:24:58,974
There's no such
thing as Dale Cooke.
549
00:24:58,998 --> 00:25:01,393
It's Sam Cooke
using a pretend name.
550
00:25:01,417 --> 00:25:03,812
SAMMIE: So,
he can get away with singing pop music?
551
00:25:03,836 --> 00:25:05,021
No!
552
00:25:05,045 --> 00:25:07,107
Sam Cooke is a gospel singer.
553
00:25:07,131 --> 00:25:09,571
Ain't no way he going to be
going around singing no pop music.
554
00:25:10,050 --> 00:25:11,528
ARETHA: I'd know
his voice anywhere.
555
00:25:11,552 --> 00:25:12,988
He used to sing
at Daddy's church.
556
00:25:13,012 --> 00:25:16,032
SAMMIE: Oh,
if folks found out they would pitch a fit.
557
00:25:16,056 --> 00:25:17,826
ARETHA: Folks like
Darlene and her friends?
558
00:25:17,850 --> 00:25:20,787
SAMMIE: They would say
he's singing that devil's music
559
00:25:20,811 --> 00:25:22,831
and run him out
of town on the rail.
560
00:25:22,855 --> 00:25:23,999
ARETHA: Would you?
561
00:25:24,023 --> 00:25:26,209
SAMMIE: If Sam Cooke was singing,
ooh,
562
00:25:26,233 --> 00:25:29,403
the minute he start to sweat,
I start fanning myself.
563
00:25:32,031 --> 00:25:34,968
Stick with me and I'll
show you a good time.
564
00:25:34,992 --> 00:25:36,368
ARETHA: He's something else.
565
00:25:40,539 --> 00:25:43,751
(crowd yelling).
566
00:25:45,586 --> 00:25:47,647

down on the ground.
567
00:25:47,671 --> 00:25:49,232
MAN: Get back on that bus,

568
00:25:49,256 --> 00:25:51,443
No one wants you here.

570
00:25:52,676 --> 00:25:55,363

00:25:55,387 --> 00:25:57,365

00:26:12,946 --> 00:26:15,258

00:26:24,249 --> 00:26:26,460
MAN 4: You're a dead man, King.
582
00:26:28,504 --> 00:26:30,565
MOTHER FRANKLIN: Dr. King,
you all right?
583
00:26:30,589 --> 00:26:32,692
KING: Fine, fine.
584
00:26:32,716 --> 00:26:35,570
MOTHER FRANKLIN: You know,
when my son was a baby,
585
00:26:35,594 --> 00:26:38,740
I carried him on my back in
the fields while I was working.
586
00:26:38,764 --> 00:26:40,658
We were sharecroppers.
587
00:26:40,682 --> 00:26:45,437
So, I want to thank you because
I never thought I'd see this day.
588
00:26:46,522 --> 00:26:48,333
KING: Thank you,
Mother Franklin.
589
00:26:48,357 --> 00:26:49,983
I needed to hear that.
590
00:26:53,278 --> 00:26:56,490
? There's an old friend that ?
591
00:26:57,908 --> 00:26:59,952
? I once heard say ?
592
00:27:02,663 --> 00:27:05,874

593
00:27:06,291 --> 00:27:07,751
MAN: Sing your song!
594
00:27:08,335 --> 00:27:12,381

595
00:27:12,631 --> 00:27:15,634

596
00:27:15,884 --> 00:27:17,177
WOMAN: Come on! Come on Aretha!
597
00:27:18,470 --> 00:27:23,308

598
00:27:24,017 --> 00:27:25,853
MAN: Yes sir!
599
00:27:27,813 --> 00:27:29,165

WOMAN: That's it, sing!
601
00:27:33,151 --> 00:27:36,238

WOMAN: Take your time!

612
00:28:23,035 --> 00:28:25,579

MAN: What'd he say,
what'd he say Aretha?
625
00:29:12,084 --> 00:29:14,378

626
00:29:16,338 --> 00:29:18,548

but I'm not able" ?
627

647
00:30:30,287 --> 00:30:33,391
MAN: Change is coming.
648
00:30:33,415 --> 00:30:35,876
We need a change;

649
00:30:36,084 --> 00:30:38,420
KING: Thank you.
650
00:30:40,213 --> 00:30:41,840
CL: Hallelujah
651
00:30:48,472 --> 00:30:54,311
(cheering and applause)
652
00:30:55,812 --> 00:30:57,647
(Zippo flick)
653
00:31:01,485 --> 00:31:06,281
(overlapping chatter)
654
00:31:12,496 --> 00:31:14,182
KING: Having trouble sleeping?
655
00:31:14,206 --> 00:31:15,916
ARETHA: A little.
656
00:31:16,166 --> 00:31:19,169
Ted snores and I've got to be on
the road first thing in the morning,
657
00:31:19,544 --> 00:31:21,522
so I figured I'd just stay up.
658
00:31:21,546 --> 00:31:23,441
KING: I know that trick.
659
00:31:23,465 --> 00:31:25,717
You sang really
beautifully tonight.
660
00:31:26,968 --> 00:31:29,322
Sam Cooke song
was a good choice.
661
00:31:29,346 --> 00:31:30,782
I appreciate you
coming on the road,
662
00:31:30,806 --> 00:31:32,325
traveling, and performing,
663
00:31:32,349 --> 00:31:35,411
and taking care of some
of our transportation costs.
664
00:31:35,435 --> 00:31:36,412
You're quite generous.
665
00:31:36,436 --> 00:31:37,914
ARETHA: It's the least I can do.
666
00:31:37,938 --> 00:31:39,749
Turns out, Daddy doesn't
want to be on the road with us.
667
00:31:39,773 --> 00:31:42,794
KING: It's because he has
his own flock to attend to.
668
00:31:42,818 --> 00:31:44,921
ARETHA: And he
wants me to come home.
669
00:31:44,945 --> 00:31:49,008
He and the mayor are organizing
an event that he wants me to attend.
670
00:31:49,032 --> 00:31:52,053
KING: Having a preacher
for a father is a blessing.
671
00:31:52,077 --> 00:31:54,972
But it comes with
its challenges.
672
00:31:54,996 --> 00:31:57,809
He took you out of the Gospel
Circuit when you were quite young.
673
00:31:57,833 --> 00:32:02,170
ARETHA: Yes,
he did. I learned a lot.
674
00:32:04,256 --> 00:32:06,651
KING: Those gals teach
you how to wear the fur coat?
675
00:32:06,675 --> 00:32:09,028
ARETHA: Well, these hotels
like to keep the air way up and
676
00:32:09,052 --> 00:32:10,446
I don't like to be cold.
677
00:32:10,470 --> 00:32:12,865
KING: Well,
I'm going to Chicago tomorrow.
678
00:32:12,889 --> 00:32:14,117
How about you?
679
00:32:14,141 --> 00:32:15,660
ARETHA: Columbus.
680
00:32:15,684 --> 00:32:17,537
You know, you're about the
only person that I know that
681
00:32:17,561 --> 00:32:20,021
is busier than I am.
682
00:32:20,981 --> 00:32:23,775
Coretta and the
children must miss you.
683
00:32:28,488 --> 00:32:31,533
KING: I miss them too.
684
00:32:33,034 --> 00:32:35,871
Is your husband,
Ted, a good man?
685
00:32:38,373 --> 00:32:41,352
ARETHA: I used to lean on
him a lot more than I do now.
686
00:32:41,376 --> 00:32:44,230
KING: It's easier for a woman
to be the helpmate of king than
687
00:32:44,254 --> 00:32:46,816
it is for a man to be
the helpmate of a queen.
688
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,110
ARETHA: I don't
think it is easy at all.
689
00:32:49,134 --> 00:32:51,404
KING: Shall we
have a toast to that?
690
00:32:51,428 --> 00:32:53,054
ARETHA: Yes, please.
691
00:32:56,641 --> 00:32:58,494
RUTH: Once you get to
Columbus you have a radio promo
692
00:32:58,518 --> 00:33:01,372
at 7:00 AM and then you
have press interviews until noon.
693
00:33:01,396 --> 00:33:03,332
Then you have a store
appearance until 2:00 PM.
694
00:33:03,356 --> 00:33:05,293
After that,
we go straight to sound check.
695
00:33:05,317 --> 00:33:07,628
There's no time for the hotel,
you okay with that?
696
00:33:07,652 --> 00:33:08,754
ARETHA: We'll make it work.
697
00:33:08,778 --> 00:33:10,256
TED: You get enough
sleep last night?
698
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:11,382
ARETHA: I'll get some sleep
in the car on the way there.
699
00:33:11,406 --> 00:33:13,092
TED: In the car, good luck.
700
00:33:13,116 --> 00:33:14,760
ARETHA: I'll get a
couple drinks to help.
701
00:33:14,784 --> 00:33:15,803
Can I see the set list?
702
00:33:15,827 --> 00:33:17,471
RUTH: Here you go, sweetie.
703
00:33:17,495 --> 00:33:18,556
MAN: Martin, I think you should
take it easy on that Vietnam issue.
704
00:33:18,580 --> 00:33:19,932
KING: I'll say
what I have to say.
705
00:33:19,956 --> 00:33:21,392
MAN: But where we're
going isn't Riverside Church.
706
00:33:21,416 --> 00:33:22,602
These folks are
more conservative.
707
00:33:22,626 --> 00:33:24,628
KING: If I don't talk about it,
who will?
708
00:33:27,047 --> 00:33:29,650
RUTH: Also,
I hate to bring this up,
709
00:33:29,674 --> 00:33:31,444
but Jerry called
again about the studio.
710
00:33:31,468 --> 00:33:32,737
We got to get back to him.
711
00:33:32,761 --> 00:33:34,197
ARETHA: I'm going to
be on tour for six months.
712
00:33:34,221 --> 00:33:35,406
MAN: But aren't you
going to Philadelphia?
713
00:33:35,430 --> 00:33:36,574
ARETHA: I'll do that,
too. I'll do it all.
714
00:33:36,598 --> 00:33:38,159
KING: I'll see you
in Philadelphia.
715
00:33:38,183 --> 00:33:39,935
ARETHA: I'll be there.
716
00:33:42,812 --> 00:33:45,607
? Little Mama I
took your lovin' ?
717
00:33:46,358 --> 00:33:48,485
? But I wasn't true to you ?
718
00:33:49,152 --> 00:33:50,421
? Little mama ??
719
00:33:50,445 --> 00:33:51,631
WOMAN: We've been to Louisville,
Bowling Green,
720
00:33:51,655 --> 00:33:54,008
Shelbyville,
and Jackson to name a few.
721
00:33:54,032 --> 00:33:55,784
Bet you glad you
left that baby home.
722
00:33:56,743 --> 00:33:58,286
WOMAN: Having fun now.
723
00:33:58,662 --> 00:34:01,665
MAN: Girl,
you can sing and dance.
724
00:34:02,582 --> 00:34:05,085
Look at you shimmy,
go ahead and sing it, girl.
725
00:34:06,544 --> 00:34:09,005
SAMMIE: Little Re, little Re.
726
00:34:10,006 --> 00:34:11,525
Girl, you was right.
727
00:34:11,549 --> 00:34:15,488
Sam Cooke is singing pop
music and he's performing in town
728
00:34:15,512 --> 00:34:17,573

ARETHA: I'm only 13.

I can't get into that place.
732
00:34:21,768 --> 00:34:23,079
SAMMIE: Girl,
let me worry about that.
733
00:34:23,103 --> 00:34:24,813
Let's go.

Come on, we going to do it all.

To top it off.
737
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:40,596
All right, oh, shoot.
738
00:34:40,620 --> 00:34:42,556
CL: I didn't know
you was all that,
739
00:34:42,580 --> 00:34:44,558
a hard partying girl.
740
00:34:44,582 --> 00:34:45,935
I didn't know you was like that,
741
00:34:45,959 --> 00:34:48,086
I thought you was
a good church girl.
742
00:34:48,420 --> 00:34:49,814
Come on, let's get in here.
743

Hold up,
we gotta go to bed it's.

Where you all going?
745
00:34:54,384 --> 00:34:58,406
It's late.
746
00:34:58,430 --> 00:35:01,993
Only place you all
should be going is to bed.
747
00:35:02,017 --> 00:35:03,893
We going to bed.
748
00:35:10,150 --> 00:35:11,693

Ms. Aretha Franklin.
754

(applause and cheering).
755
00:35:35,008 --> 00:35:37,648

late last night, you know that, right?

00:35:46,686 --> 00:35:53,068

757

I'm feeling so good
tonight. How y'all feeling?
760
00:36:03,411 --> 00:36:04,680

761
00:36:04,704 --> 00:36:05,955
(crowd gasps).
762
00:36:18,551 --> 00:36:19,695
CL: Broken in three places?
763
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:21,197
How long that thing
going to be on her arm?
764
00:36:21,221 --> 00:36:23,157
DOCTOR: It's on track to
heal in four weeks, maybe six.
765
00:36:23,181 --> 00:36:25,534
You're burning the
candle at both ends.
766
00:36:25,558 --> 00:36:28,245
My advice is for
you to slow down.
767
00:36:28,269 --> 00:36:29,664
This could have
been a lot worse.
768
00:36:29,688 --> 00:36:31,290
CL: You should have been
keeping your eye on her.
769
00:36:31,314 --> 00:36:32,333
TED: I was, all right.
770
00:36:32,357 --> 00:36:33,459
ARETHA: Now's not the time,
Daddy.
771
00:36:33,483 --> 00:36:34,543
I need to go back on tour.
772
00:36:34,567 --> 00:36:36,087
CL: You need to
stay home in Detroit.
773
00:36:36,111 --> 00:36:37,338
TED: He right.
774
00:36:37,362 --> 00:36:38,714
I'm going to tell Ruth
to cancel the dates.
775
00:36:38,738 --> 00:36:40,424
ARETHA: I can still sing;
I just can't play piano.
776
00:36:40,448 --> 00:36:42,510
CL: You need to stay home,
get some rest.
777
00:36:42,534 --> 00:36:45,012
I'm cooking up a big event
for you with the mayor's office.
778
00:36:45,036 --> 00:36:47,723
ARETHA: If I do anything, I'm going
to honor my promise with Dr. King.
779
00:36:47,747 --> 00:36:50,142

00:36:50,166 --> 00:36:51,227
ARETHA: I'm fine.
781
00:36:51,251 --> 00:36:52,728
I just can't play,
right, Doctor?
782
00:36:52,752 --> 00:36:54,146
DOCTOR: No.
783
00:36:54,170 --> 00:36:57,024
Whatever you do,
my advice is to slow down.
784
00:36:57,048 --> 00:36:58,317
CL: You hear?
785
00:36:58,341 --> 00:37:01,237
ARETHA: I don't
use my arm to sing.
786
00:37:01,261 --> 00:37:02,530
DOCTOR: I understand that,
787
00:37:02,554 --> 00:37:04,615
but you need to
minimize movements.
788
00:37:04,639 --> 00:37:06,033
You got lucky this time.
789
00:37:06,057 --> 00:37:07,952
One more fall or
injury to that arm and
790
00:37:07,976 --> 00:37:11,104
you may never play piano again.

You're going to wrap
this big part around here,
808
00:38:01,154 --> 00:38:03,698
you're going to
tuck it in and under,
809
00:38:04,449 --> 00:38:07,386

KING: Oh, I see what you do.

Between your father and your husband,

ARETHA: Do I?
850
00:39:58,813 --> 00:40:00,833
KING: I know you've heard me
speak probably more times than
851
00:40:00,857 --> 00:40:03,502
you care to over the
past many months.
852
00:40:03,526 --> 00:40:06,380
But every time I talk about
freedom for our people,
853
00:40:06,404 --> 00:40:09,300
I'm also talking about
freedom of the mind,
854
00:40:09,324 --> 00:40:11,510
psychological freedom.
855
00:40:11,534 --> 00:40:13,679
To achieve what we
want to as a people,
856
00:40:13,703 --> 00:40:16,748
we need to start with
personal freedom.
857
00:40:20,209 --> 00:40:22,688
Where did the bone break?
858
00:40:22,712 --> 00:40:25,798
ARETHA: Uh,
here was the worst of it.
859
00:40:27,634 --> 00:40:30,261
I felt like a bird
with a broken wing.
860
00:40:37,477 --> 00:40:39,687
CL: There you are.
861
00:40:42,231 --> 00:40:44,251
Ya'll done snuck out the party.
862
00:40:44,275 --> 00:40:45,920
Come on, let's go back in.
863
00:40:45,944 --> 00:40:49,530
Do you want folks to think you
chose Dr. King over your own father?
864
00:40:49,781 --> 00:40:51,175
Come on.
865
00:40:51,199 --> 00:40:52,426
KING: I'll be in, in a minute.
866
00:40:52,450 --> 00:40:53,677
CL: All right, thank you, Doc.
867
00:40:53,701 --> 00:40:56,329
KING: Get well now,
cause we need you.
868
00:41:00,959 --> 00:41:02,895
SAMMIE: And he
gave you his jacket!
869
00:41:02,919 --> 00:41:04,605
ARETHA: Only because he
knows me from when he used to
870
00:41:04,629 --> 00:41:05,981
come sing at Daddy's church.
871
00:41:06,005 --> 00:41:07,524
But the way he
was singing tonight,
872
00:41:07,548 --> 00:41:09,526
he never sang like that before.
873
00:41:09,550 --> 00:41:11,111
You think I could
be a pop singer?
874
00:41:11,135 --> 00:41:13,322
SAMMIE: Sam Cooke
sure think you can be.
875
00:41:13,346 --> 00:41:15,908
ARETHA: And then I'll
throw my coat on the ground,
876
00:41:15,932 --> 00:41:17,701
just like he does.
877
00:41:17,725 --> 00:41:20,228
SAMMIE: Oh, you better pick
that up or I'm going to take it.
878
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:22,331
ARETHA: He never
sang like that in church.
879
00:41:22,355 --> 00:41:24,124
And he never looked
that way in church.
880
00:41:24,148 --> 00:41:27,318
SAMMIE: If I married him
it'd be Sam and Sammie.
881
00:41:28,403 --> 00:41:30,297
Ooh.
882
00:41:30,321 --> 00:41:32,031
CL: Where the hell you been?
883
00:41:32,407 --> 00:41:34,551
Oh, you grown now,
huh, you grown.
884
00:41:34,575 --> 00:41:36,679
SAMMIE: It's my fault,
Reverend Franklin.
885
00:41:36,703 --> 00:41:41,249
Re didn't even want to go
out but I talked her into it.
886
00:41:41,958 --> 00:41:44,836
CL: Did I ask you
for your explanation?
887
00:41:46,045 --> 00:41:50,425
Go on back in your room and let me
have a conversation with my daughter.
888
00:41:51,217 --> 00:41:52,361
Go on now.
889
00:41:52,385 --> 00:41:54,470
SAMMIE: I'm sorry.
890
00:41:55,096 --> 00:41:58,099
ARETHA: I'm sorry, Daddy.
891
00:41:58,349 --> 00:42:00,244
CL: Went to a juke joint, huh?
892
00:42:00,268 --> 00:42:01,787
(chuckles).
893
00:42:01,811 --> 00:42:02,997
You're 13.
894
00:42:03,021 --> 00:42:04,623
ARETHA: I wanted to
see Sam Cooke perform.
895
00:42:04,647 --> 00:42:07,167
CL: I asked you to stay inside.
896
00:42:07,191 --> 00:42:08,627
ARETHA: I was just
listening to music.
897
00:42:08,651 --> 00:42:09,878
CL: Oh,
you fixing to get in trouble,
898
00:42:09,902 --> 00:42:11,422
that's what you doing now.
899
00:42:11,446 --> 00:42:12,631
Now,
I'm going to send you back home.
900
00:42:12,655 --> 00:42:14,091
ARETHA: No!
901
00:42:14,115 --> 00:42:15,759
CL: You need to be with
the baby you have rather than
902
00:42:15,783 --> 00:42:19,203
be out here trying
to have another one.
903
00:42:19,495 --> 00:42:22,373
Now, take that jacket off.
904
00:42:24,042 --> 00:42:26,169
Give me that jacket.
905
00:42:28,087 --> 00:42:30,089
And what,
what you got on your lips?
906
00:42:30,631 --> 00:42:32,216
Come here.
907
00:42:35,470 --> 00:42:38,556
Go on and get inside now, go on.
908
00:42:43,394 --> 00:42:46,373
MRS. JOHNSON: Hey,
little Re. I heard you had a late night.
909
00:42:46,397 --> 00:42:48,459
I hope you don't
mess up your song.
910
00:42:48,483 --> 00:42:50,878
CL: Mrs. Johnson.
911
00:42:50,902 --> 00:42:52,796
MRS. JOHNSON: Evening,
Reverend Franklin.
912
00:42:52,820 --> 00:42:54,822
CL: Mm-hmm. WOMAN: Reverend.
913
00:42:58,576 --> 00:43:01,412
ARETHA: Please
don't make me go home.
914
00:43:02,830 --> 00:43:06,501
CL: Well, why you want to stay?
ARETHA: I want to keep singing.
915
00:43:07,085 --> 00:43:08,920
CL: Hmm.
916
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:16,195
Would Sam's jacket help?
917
00:43:16,219 --> 00:43:18,012
ARETHA: Yes.
918
00:43:18,471 --> 00:43:19,865
CL: I bet it would.
919
00:43:19,889 --> 00:43:22,034
Come on.
920
00:43:22,058 --> 00:43:24,352
You better put this thing on.
921
00:43:25,019 --> 00:43:29,190
Turn around, let me see you.
922
00:43:30,691 --> 00:43:32,193
All right.
923
00:43:33,486 --> 00:43:35,279
You better sang, baby singer.
924
00:43:40,576 --> 00:43:42,662
(applause).
925
00:43:42,954 --> 00:43:44,264
ANNOUNCER (over PA): Oh,
this going to be good.
926
00:43:44,288 --> 00:43:45,516
WOMAN: All right.
927
00:43:45,540 --> 00:43:47,059
ANNOUNCER (over
PA): Ya'll about to hear the
928
00:43:47,083 --> 00:43:49,561
little girl who is starting to
be the baby singer of our tour.
929
00:43:49,585 --> 00:43:51,146
CROWD: Yeah! Oh, yeah!
930
00:43:51,170 --> 00:43:52,981
ANNOUNCER (over PA):
You ready? You ready?
931
00:43:53,005 --> 00:43:56,717
Put your hands together and
welcome Little Miss Aretha Franklin.
932
00:43:57,468 --> 00:44:00,197
(applause and cheering).
933
00:44:00,221 --> 00:44:05,351
WOMAN: That girl can sing.
934
00:44:09,438 --> 00:44:11,566
MAN: Take your time,
take your time.
935
00:44:14,527 --> 00:44:17,280
? Just ?
936
00:44:20,199 --> 00:44:24,179
? Just a closer
walk with Thee ??
937
00:44:24,203 --> 00:44:26,539
CL: Yes sir, yes sir, yes sir.
938
00:44:26,956 --> 00:44:29,667
(cheering).
939
00:44:33,212 --> 00:44:38,426
? Grant it, Jesus, ?
940
00:44:41,387 --> 00:44:43,532
? Is my plea ??
941
00:44:43,556 --> 00:44:47,643
WOMAN: Oh yes, oh Lord. Jesus.
942
00:44:49,020 --> 00:44:50,688
CL: Call his name.
943
00:44:51,564 --> 00:44:56,652
? Daily walking ?
944
00:44:59,822 --> 00:45:03,659
? Close to Thee ?
945
00:45:09,790 --> 00:45:12,001
? Let it be ?
946
00:45:13,961 --> 00:45:17,131
? Dear Lord ?
947
00:45:18,299 --> 00:45:21,010
? Let it be ??
948
00:45:21,761 --> 00:45:24,013
MAN: Come on, come on. Come on.
949
00:45:24,555 --> 00:45:26,974
? Let it be ?
950
00:45:30,269 --> 00:45:33,397
? I am weak but
Thou art strong ??
951
00:45:34,774 --> 00:45:35,918
CL: That's right.
952
00:45:35,942 --> 00:45:39,237
? Jesus keep me from all wrong ?
953
00:45:40,738 --> 00:45:45,284
? I'll be satisfied as long ?
954
00:45:45,785 --> 00:45:47,221
? As I walk ?
955
00:45:47,245 --> 00:45:48,472
? Let me walk ?
956
00:45:48,496 --> 00:45:51,207
? Close to Thee ?
957
00:45:51,916 --> 00:45:55,294
? When my feeble life is o'er ??
958
00:45:56,170 --> 00:45:57,147
CL: Sing it, girl.
959
00:45:57,171 --> 00:46:00,633

960
00:46:01,926 --> 00:46:04,905

00:46:07,265 --> 00:46:09,576
? To Thy kingdom's shore ?
963
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:11,936
? To Thy shore ?
964
00:46:13,104 --> 00:46:16,148
? Just a closer walk with Thee
965
00:46:18,276 --> 00:46:19,461
? Grant it ?
966
00:46:19,485 --> 00:46:22,172

967
00:46:22,196 --> 00:46:23,632
CL: Yes, sir.
968
00:46:23,656 --> 00:46:28,244
? Daily walking
close with Thee ?
969
00:46:28,744 --> 00:46:30,830
? Let it be ?
970
00:46:31,789 --> 00:46:34,458
? Dear Lord ?
971
00:46:36,502 --> 00:46:41,382
? Let it be ??
972
00:46:42,883 --> 00:46:45,219
(applause and cheering).
973
00:46:45,469 --> 00:46:48,764
CL: Yes, sir! That's right!
974
00:46:51,309 --> 00:46:55,146
(applause and cheering).
975
00:46:55,771 --> 00:46:57,291
KENNEDY (over TV):
Martin Luther King was shot
976
00:46:57,315 --> 00:46:59,710
and was killed tonight in Memphis,
Tennessee.
977
00:46:59,734 --> 00:47:01,360
(crowd gasps)
978
00:47:05,865 --> 00:47:08,385
In this difficult day,
979
00:47:08,409 --> 00:47:11,805
in this difficult time
for the United States,
980
00:47:11,829 --> 00:47:14,182
it is perhaps well to
ask what kind of a nation
981
00:47:14,206 --> 00:47:17,585
we are and what direction
we want to move in.
982
00:47:19,337 --> 00:47:24,091
For those of you who are
black considering the evidence
983
00:47:24,633 --> 00:47:27,446
there evidently is that
there were white people
984
00:47:27,470 --> 00:47:33,118
who were responsible,
you can be filled with bitterness,
985
00:47:33,142 --> 00:47:36,812
and with hatred,
and a desire for revenge.
986
00:47:39,482 --> 00:47:42,627
We can move in that
direction as a country,
987
00:47:42,651 --> 00:47:45,946
and greater polarization,
988
00:47:46,781 --> 00:47:50,719
or we can make an effort
as Martin Luther King did,
989
00:47:50,743 --> 00:47:54,246
to understand and to comprehend,
990
00:47:54,955 --> 00:47:57,809
and replace that violence,
991
00:47:57,833 --> 00:48:02,213
that stain of bloodshed that
has spread across our land
992
00:48:04,423 --> 00:48:10,429
with an effort to understand
compassion and love.
993
00:48:12,098 --> 00:48:16,477
I had a member of my family killed
but he was killed by a white man.
994
00:48:18,938 --> 00:48:22,274
But we have to make an
effort in the United States.
995
00:48:22,650 --> 00:48:25,861
We have to make an
effort to understand,
996
00:48:26,237 --> 00:48:29,824
to get beyond or go beyond
these rather difficult times.
997
00:48:30,616 --> 00:48:34,620
My favorite poem,
my favorite poet was Aeschylus.
998
00:48:35,830 --> 00:48:38,707
He once wrote
999
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:44,564
"Even in our sleep,
pain which cannot forget,
1000
00:48:44,588 --> 00:48:49,677
falls drop by drop upon the heart until,
in our own despair
1001
00:48:51,095 --> 00:48:56,475
against our will, comes wisdom
through the awful grace of God.
1002
00:48:57,726 --> 00:49:02,124
What we need in the
United States is not division.
1003
00:49:02,148 --> 00:49:05,252
What we need in the
United States is not hatred.
1004
00:49:05,276 --> 00:49:08,004
What we need in the
United States is not violence
1005
00:49:08,028 --> 00:49:10,006
and lawlessness.
1006
00:49:10,030 --> 00:49:13,784
But love and wisdom,
and compassion toward one another,
1007
00:49:15,411 --> 00:49:19,015
and a feeling of justice
toward those who still suffer
1008
00:49:19,039 --> 00:49:21,435
within our country,
1009
00:49:21,459 --> 00:49:24,253
whether they be white
or whether they be black.
1010
00:49:26,172 --> 00:49:31,969
