her hardcore fans.

The message is going to

ARETHA: Angela Davis
speaking out?
224
00:10:21,871 --> 00:10:23,671
KING CURTIS: Cause the
incarceration has been unjust
225
00:10:23,665 --> 00:10:27,745
and unwarranted from jump.
226

do a concert at Folsom.
228

Johnny Cash did and B. B. King
is planning to do one.

around this concept album,

something you can get at home.

I hear something I want,

00:15:18,668 --> 00:15:20,748

input too, so does Tom.

you're calling the shots,
you're running the show,

ARETHA: Thank you.
522
00:23:59,146 --> 00:24:00,806
(crowd chatter).
523
00:24:00,814 --> 00:24:02,364
OFFICER (over speaker):
Detroit PD, step out of the car
524
00:24:02,358 --> 00:24:03,938
CL: Now, you know this
is an illegal search.
525
00:24:03,943 --> 00:24:05,323
Come on now, this is
an illegal search.
526
00:24:05,319 --> 00:24:06,739
OFFICER: You ran a stop sign.
527
00:24:06,737 --> 00:24:07,777
CL: Ya'll need to call
somebody and you ain't need to
528
00:24:07,780 --> 00:24:08,740
come here and get me.
529
00:24:08,739 --> 00:24:09,869
What did I do?
530
00:24:09,865 --> 00:24:11,365
OFFICER: Keep your
hands visible, sir.
531
00:24:11,367 --> 00:24:13,657
CL: It's because I'm, it's
because I'm CL Franklin, huh,
532
00:24:13,661 --> 00:24:15,831
Aretha Franklin's father
you going to do that to me.
533
00:24:16,372 --> 00:24:17,922
This is ridiculous.
534
00:24:17,915 --> 00:24:19,955
Oh, see now you
done planted that.
535
00:24:19,959 --> 00:24:21,379
You done planted that.
536
00:24:21,377 --> 00:24:23,957
You don't never want to
see a black person succeed.
537
00:24:23,963 --> 00:24:26,133
You're always trying
to drag us down.
538
00:24:26,131 --> 00:24:27,631
You know this ain't right.
539
00:24:27,633 --> 00:24:29,553
JERRY: I, I like your haircut.
It suits you.
540
00:24:29,551 --> 00:24:30,891
ARETHA: Thank you.
541
00:24:30,886 --> 00:24:33,006
JERRY: But you've been
AWOL for two whole months.
542
00:24:34,223 --> 00:24:35,983
ARETHA: I've been
dealing with family stuff.
543
00:24:35,975 --> 00:24:37,635
My dad was in jail,
I had to bail him out.
544
00:24:37,643 --> 00:24:39,353
JERRY: Yeah, I heard.
545
00:24:39,353 --> 00:24:40,813
ARETHA: Black people
everywhere from my,
546
00:24:40,813 --> 00:24:42,443
my father to the Soledad
Brothers are under the thumb
547
00:24:42,439 --> 00:24:44,269
of a system that's
completely rigged.
548
00:24:44,274 --> 00:24:46,614
That's what I've
been focusing on.
549
00:24:49,238 --> 00:24:51,068
JERRY: The hypocrisy
of justice,
550
00:24:51,073 --> 00:24:53,583
black folks can't
get a fair shake.
551
00:24:53,575 --> 00:24:55,365
I hear ya.
552
00:24:55,369 --> 00:24:56,999
Is your dad going
to be all right?
553
00:24:56,996 --> 00:24:58,996
ARETHA: He always
lands on his feet.
554
00:24:58,998 --> 00:25:03,458
JERRY: You know, supporting
Dr. King was one thing but
555
00:25:03,460 --> 00:25:06,840
I don't know, these
times feel more risky.
556
00:25:08,799 --> 00:25:11,639
You know, Nina recorded
"Mississippi God Damn",
557
00:25:11,635 --> 00:25:15,215
a great song, but then the
radio stations boycotted her,
558
00:25:15,222 --> 00:25:17,732
and the people went into the
record stores and they smashed
559
00:25:17,725 --> 00:25:19,935
her albums to bits.
560
00:25:20,477 --> 00:25:22,437
ARETHA: I'm not drinking.
561
00:25:25,482 --> 00:25:28,322
Look, make me a producer
on my new album.
562
00:25:28,318 --> 00:25:30,398
Let the world, everywhere,
read in the trades that
563
00:25:30,404 --> 00:25:34,074
Atlantic has named
Aretha Franklin a producer on
564
00:25:34,074 --> 00:25:36,454
Young, Gifted and Black.
565
00:25:37,745 --> 00:25:39,195
JERRY: Okay.
566
00:25:39,204 --> 00:25:40,964
I'll think about that.
567
00:25:40,956 --> 00:25:43,826
But three sessions in a
row I organized for you on
568
00:25:43,834 --> 00:25:46,344
dates that you chose,
and you missed them all.
569
00:25:47,171 --> 00:25:49,261
And last year you were
a no show in Las Vegas
570
00:25:49,256 --> 00:25:51,626
at Caesar's Palace
for crying out loud.
571
00:25:51,633 --> 00:25:54,143
And how much
did that cost you?
572
00:25:54,136 --> 00:25:56,676
100‐grand, 100‐grand.
573
00:25:57,139 --> 00:25:59,219
And Ruth says she's got
to jump through hoops to book
574
00:25:59,224 --> 00:26:01,484
you cause people say
you are a problem.
575
00:26:01,477 --> 00:26:02,847
ARETHA: People are just
bad mouthing me to try and
576
00:26:02,853 --> 00:26:04,233
keep me in my place.
577
00:26:04,229 --> 00:26:05,649
JERRY: And what are you
doing to prove them wrong?
578
00:26:05,647 --> 00:26:07,357
ARETHA: Give me a real
seat at the table and I can
579
00:26:07,357 --> 00:26:08,857
show you how I
can prove them wrong.
580
00:26:08,859 --> 00:26:11,199
JERRY: Aretha, you're out
there acting like a hot head.
581
00:26:11,195 --> 00:26:13,105
You're worrying about these
young men in jail when you
582
00:26:13,113 --> 00:26:15,243
should be worrying
about the bottom line.
583
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,580
In, in what universe
are you a producer?
584
00:26:17,576 --> 00:26:19,076
ARETHA: I do all the work.
585
00:26:19,078 --> 00:26:20,698
JERRY: You don't know
half of what I do.
586
00:26:20,704 --> 00:26:22,664
ARETHA: Well, I do know
that I deserve more credit and
587
00:26:22,664 --> 00:26:24,374
that you are standing in my way.
588
00:26:24,374 --> 00:26:27,174
JERRY: I'm standing, I'm...
589
00:26:27,753 --> 00:26:31,973
Look, I'm glad you're laying
off the sauce and I'm very
590
00:26:31,965 --> 00:26:33,545
glad you're back.
591
00:26:33,550 --> 00:26:35,840
ARETHA: But you like me better
when I'm drinking, don't you?
592
00:26:35,844 --> 00:26:38,314
JERRY: No, I don't.
And that's not fair.
593
00:26:38,305 --> 00:26:40,305
ARETHA: If I don't get
what I need from you,
594
00:26:40,307 --> 00:26:44,017
I'm going to find a
way to get it myself.
595
00:26:44,353 --> 00:26:46,563
I'm gonna do what I gotta do.

ask me that every week.
670

come you're staying there if
671
00:30:17,357 --> 00:30:18,277
you don't like it?
672

have a picnic?
676
00:30:24,114 --> 00:30:25,954

go to a ballgame!
