You don't never want to
see a black person succeed.
538
00:24:23,780 --> 00:24:25,949
You're always trying to drag us down.
539

542
00:24:30,700 --> 00:24:32,930
JERRY: But you've been
AWOL for two whole months.
543
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:35,789
ARETHA: I've been
dealing with family stuff.
544
00:24:35,790 --> 00:24:37,459
My dad was in jail,
I had to bail him out.
545

JERRY: Yeah, I heard.
546
00:24:39,170 --> 00:24:40,629
ARETHA: Black people everywhere from my,
547
00:24:40,630 --> 00:24:42,259
my father to the Soledad
Brothers are under the thumb
548
00:24:42,260 --> 00:24:44,089
of a system that's completely rigged.
549
00:24:44,090 --> 00:24:46,530
That's what I've been focusing on.
550
00:24:49,050 --> 00:24:50,889
JERRY: The hypocrisy of justice,
551
00:24:50,890 --> 00:24:53,389
black folks can't get a fair shake.
552
00:24:53,390 --> 00:24:55,189
I hear ya.
553
00:24:55,190 --> 00:24:56,809

ARETHA: He always lands on his feet.
555
00:24:58,810 --> 00:25:03,279

Dr. King was one thing but
556

times feel more risky.
557
00:25:08,620 --> 00:25:11,449
You know, Nina recorded
"Mississippi God Damn",
558
00:25:11,450 --> 00:25:15,039
a great song, but then the
radio stations boycotted her,
559
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,539
and the people went into the
record stores and they smashed
560
00:25:17,540 --> 00:25:19,850
her albums to bits.
561
00:25:20,290 --> 00:25:22,350
ARETHA: I'm not drinking.
562
00:25:25,300 --> 00:25:28,129
Look, make me a producer
on my new album.
563
00:25:28,130 --> 00:25:30,219
Let the world, everywhere,
read in the trades that
564
00:25:30,220 --> 00:25:33,889
Atlantic has named
Aretha Franklin a producer on
565
00:25:33,890 --> 00:25:36,370
Young, Gifted and Black.
566
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,019
JERRY: Okay.
567
00:25:39,020 --> 00:25:40,769
I'll think about that.
568
00:25:40,770 --> 00:25:43,649
But three sessions in a
row I organized for you on
569
00:25:43,650 --> 00:25:46,250
dates that you chose,
and you missed them all.
570
00:25:46,990 --> 00:25:49,069
And last year you were
a no show in Las Vegas
571
00:25:49,070 --> 00:25:51,449
at Caesar's Palace for crying out loud.
572
00:25:51,450 --> 00:25:53,949
And how much did that cost you?
573
00:25:53,950 --> 00:25:56,600
100-grand, 100-grand.
574
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,039
And Ruth says she's got
to jump through hoops to book
575
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,289
you cause people say you are a problem.
576
00:26:01,290 --> 00:26:02,669
ARETHA: People are just
bad mouthing me to try and
577
00:26:02,670 --> 00:26:04,049
keep me in my place.
578
00:26:04,050 --> 00:26:05,459
JERRY: And what are you
doing to prove them wrong?
579
00:26:05,460 --> 00:26:07,169
ARETHA: Give me a real
seat at the table and I can
580
00:26:07,170 --> 00:26:08,679
show you how I can prove them wrong.
581
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,009
JERRY: Aretha, you're out
there acting like a hot head.
582
00:26:11,010 --> 00:26:12,929
You're worrying about these
young men in jail when you
583
00:26:12,930 --> 00:26:15,059
should be worrying
about the bottom line.
584
00:26:15,060 --> 00:26:17,389
In, in what universe are you a producer?
585
00:26:17,390 --> 00:26:18,889
ARETHA: I do all the work.
586
00:26:18,890 --> 00:26:20,519
JERRY: You don't know half of what I do.
587
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,479
ARETHA: Well, I do know
that I deserve more credit and
588
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,189
that you are standing in my way.
589
00:26:24,190 --> 00:26:27,090
JERRY: I'm standing, I'm...
590
00:26:27,570 --> 00:26:31,779
Look, I'm glad you're laying
off the sauce and I'm very
591
00:26:31,780 --> 00:26:33,369
glad you're back.
592
00:26:33,370 --> 00:26:35,659
ARETHA: But you like me better
when I'm drinking, don't you?
593
00:26:35,660 --> 00:26:38,119
JERRY: No, I don't. And that's not fair.
594
00:26:38,120 --> 00:26:40,119
ARETHA: If I don't get
what I need from you,
595
00:26:40,120 --> 00:26:43,940
I'm going to find a
way to get it myself.
