Now, you keep watch, okay? We're supposed to be in Bible class.

I will. You better get in there. They're waiting for you. Now, you know what to

do in case you see any one of our dad.

Remember the signal?

All

right,

guys.

Finally.

Get in place, please.

Time is money. I don't have much of either.

All right, let's roll.

Cloud from the top, just like rehearsal.

Lonely is the cloud.

Mama,

you got that music in you. That's right, baby.

And I'm giving it to your daughter.

I got your favorite for the table.

Oh, thank you.

They sure light up the room.

Remember, Naima, music is the greatest evidence of God's presence.

It leaves behind something lasting.

Right. Yeah.

Y 'all mind if I join y 'all? Yeah, come on in. We're going to do this together.

You did it, Gammy.

I'm in your old haunts.

I just wish you were here to show me around.

I'll be right with you, darling. Thank you.

Coffee? Yes, please. Black.

You at Vanderbilt? No, Tennessee Central. I'm getting my doctorate there.

Ooh, aren't you fancy.

Yeah, but I'm also interning at the National Museum of African American

for no pay, so fancy is a bit of a stretch.

Well, you're going to be a regular here. They all are. What you studying over

there?

Ethnomusicology.

Now, say that ten times fast. I know. I know. It sounds pretentious. But

basically, I'm focusing on mid -20th century urban music.

Ah, back in my day, we called it R &B, soul, and jazz.

Yes, that also worked.

I'm trying to narrow down a topic for my dissertation, but it's just so hard to

choose one thing.

Oh, you're asking the wrong person around here. We love everything about

it. Me too.

So. What does one do with that kind of schooling?

Well, no one ever became rich with this kind of degree, but I can teach, I can

write, I can spend all my time around music.

Mm -hmm.

Well, money isn't everything, baby.

If it was, I would have got rid of this place a long time ago and got me a rich

husband. Instead, I got this one.

I heard that. I wanted you to.

I'm going to get you some of my famous sweet potato pie, seeing as you're a

regular now.

This is why we're in trouble, Livvy.

Always giving away the goods for free. What good is having if you can't share

with others, Dad?

I was going to pay him.

I appreciate that.

But she won't let you. When my wife gets her mind on something, it's... Check

out the jukebox if you want it.

That's free, too.

This is amazing.

What section is this?

The Rivers of Rhythm Corridor.

This is my favorite section. Here, visitors can learn about the growth of

African -American music. From the golden age of gospel to the black influence in

ragtime. My grandmother would have loved this.

She was a music commentator, too.

Oh, yeah. She raised me on all of it. Ray Charles, James Brown, Etta James,

of course, absolute faves, the Loving Cups.

My mom died when I was a baby.

And my grandmother lived with us. Well, she had impeccable taste, your

grandmother. I think I really would have liked her. Yeah, everybody did.

Oh, Reggie, this is Naima.

Naima liked the cold train song. I was named after it. She's going to be

interning for us for school credit while she's getting her doctorate at TCU.

Well, welcome to the family, Naima. You're going to love it here so much,

going to forget you're not getting paid.

I already have.

Can I borrow you for a second? Sure.

Have a look around, and I'll come find you in a bit and show you to your desk.

Thank you. You're welcome.

Okay, so this right here is one of my favorite artists.

It's Charlie Barker.

Does anyone know Charlie Parker's nickname?

Anyone?

Sophie?

China, you know?

Enzi? Anyone want to take a stab at it?

Uh, Trumpet Guy?

Trumpet Guy?

You said take a stab at it.

I did. It was Yardbird.

Well, at least in his childhood, anyway. And then later shortened to Bird. Wow,

looks like we got a late addition to our group.

And guess what?

The young lady is correct.

Gold star.

Before Charlie became rich and famous, he used to play with tons of bands.

He had a great relationship with Miles Davis, who was our legendary trumpeter.

They developed a new sound in the avant -garde late nights of Harlem, New York

City. Sorry.

Gotta correct you there.

So, the Harlem jam sessions actually started with Dizzy Gillespie. Really?

then Miles Davis replaced Gillespie later on in his career.

Wow.

I mean, Cohen, she definitely sounds confident.

But are you sure?

I may have written a paper on Miles Davis once.

And I may have a photographic memory.

Is that so?

I said I may have.

Okay, you know what? We'll settle this little thing right here with my group.

You guys have been with me all morning. You guys know who the smartest one is.

And who is it, me or her?

Definitely her.

Are y 'all for real?

Come on, y 'all. After all I taught y 'all?

Okay, you know what? This is how we're going to settle it, all right? I'm going

to place $5 on the table that it's Miles Davis first, Dizzy Gillespie second.

Okay. You know, my grandmother always said, if you want to double your money,

you should fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

But how about this?

Loser has put their money in the museum donation box.

Okay, smart, beautiful, and kind.

You see, I say kind because it's going to be your $5 in that donation box, and

I'll take that bet. Okay.

Ooh, earn.

She got you good.

So she did.

So she did. But it's all good. Well, listen up. The video is going to be

starting in the exhibit down here on the right. Follow your teachers right in

there, and I'm going to see you guys after. I'm going to talk to our new

student.

I'm very sorry about that. Sometimes I just can't help myself. No, it's okay. I

mean, I can admit when I'm wrong. I was wrong.

It's not often.

So what was it? Was it a dollar we bet?

Five dollars. Five dollars.

Thank you. You're welcome.

Wait a minute. Who are you?

Patron? Benefactor? Ringer?

Um, Damien. Hey, Bianca. I see you've met Naima, our new intern.

Hello, Naima. Hi.

Damien just so happens to be one of the dedicated volunteers.

Okay, yeah. I can tell that you're passionate about what you do.

Yes, I am.

Come. I will show you where you will be working.

Great. Bye, Damien. Bye, Bianca.

Naima, if I have any questions about jazz, I know who to ask.

This... It's the reason we are so happy to have you with us.

When the museum opened two years ago, the donated items piled up so fast that

couldn't catalog everything.

Much of it turns out to be worthless, but I have found a few gems to put in

exhibit. I love this sort of thing.

It's like, what treasure are we going to find in here?

I will be bringing on another curatorial intern soon, but it has been so hard to

find someone like you with such a vast knowledge of music history.

So, in the meantime, I will be helping you out as much as my time allows.

Great!

Why Nashville, of all places, for your doctorate?

My grandmother was from here. They moved to Mobile when my dad was little, but

she would always talk about the growing black music industry and watching it

develop.

She really wanted to be a singer, like everyone else in this town.

Right?

You know, that might be an interesting topic for my dissertation.

Like, why do some artists make it and others don't?

If you ask me, it's only 10 % talent and 90 % luck.

Those hard luck stories are on every street corner.

But you can find some feel -good ones, too.

Yeah. The history here, you can feel it.

It's like... All the independent labels started.

Savoy, Sun, Berry Hall Records.

And they went on to become household names.

Now you are going to fit right in.

Franklin Berry Hall is actually one of the biggest supporters of this museum.

In fact, he's going to be at the fundraiser next Friday.

Franklin Berry Hall? Uh -huh. Is going to be here?

Yes. In this building?

Yes.

Wait, am I going to be there?

Interns are invited to the fundraisers, yes.

We need all hands on deck.

You have a formal dress?

With what you're not paying me?

I'll get one.

Great. Well, I'll be back to check on you.

It's like somebody's lost.

You.

What are you doing here? I'm an alum.

I mentor the students here.

Oh, wow. A real philanthropist.

Donating his time all over town.

Yeah. I mean, isn't that what people with good hearts do?

Some even say I'm a great guy.

I'm sure they would.

You don't believe me? I have no reason not to believe you, Mr. Great Guy.

Are you going to be at the museum for the auction next week?

I work there, so yes.

Maybe I can get your number.

Maybe not.

What? No, what you mean?

You heard me.

I have to check you out first.

You know, ask around the museum, see what I'm doing.

Don't want to end up on a true crime episode.

Yeah, I can dig it. We've got ourselves an academic and a researcher.

Or maybe I just know that it's better to go slowly in the right direction rather

than quickly in the wrong one.

She speaks from experience. She does.

Did your zero to 60 relationship not end well?

It did not.

Okay.

Well, for me, when I see something that I want, I go after it.

And what exactly do you want?

What I want is for you to save a dance for me.

Is that slow and steady enough for you?

Mm -hmm.

See you Friday. I'll see you Friday.

Oh, wait.

Right.

Get your number.

Now, can you show me where the music building is?

I would love to.

This way.

It's right over here.

The purpose of your dissertation is to ask a targeted question, then research

your own answer. My office hours are posted on the board. I want to hear

potential topics within the next few weeks.

Now, let me be clear.

It's important that you find something that speaks to you.

So ask yourself this.

What stirs you within your very soul?

Okay, there you go.

Worst list.

If you win some, you lose some.

What do you do with the rejects? I give them to charity, thrift stores.

I even got to keep a flute once. You play?

I never learned. But one day.

For now, it just sits in the corner, taunting me.

Oh, look what I found.

Oh. They're gorgeous.

Yeah. And there's two of them. One for each night of the weekend. Or maybe a

duo?

Maybe it was Tina Turner's. They always had extras for the road, and she grew up

in Tennessee.

Yeah.

They're two different sizes, though.

There's no information in there.

No deed of gift. No tag.

Do we know who donated it?

Not a clue if nothing is in that bag.

You know what? A lot of that stuff came from old studios on Music Row that

closed when technology took over.

Well,

I bet it has a story to tell.

Take a picture and upload it and do a reverse image search and see what comes

up. If there's history behind it, you'll find it.

And if not, I think you just found your outfit to the auction.

What's in there? Oh, these are auction items. I need you to write the catalog

and label descriptions for them.

Documentation verifying the history and authenticity is attached.

Why would the museum part with them?

Most of them are duplicates. If we can make a few bucks, all the better.

Wow.

Charlie Patton?

I feel like I'm holding history. The man who would play the guitar behind his

head or with his teeth.

He was quite the showman. That one is going to fetch us one pretty penny.

My grandmother had this.

Where are her albums now?

Well, there are people in the world who think that valuables are junk, and junk

are valuables.

I'm in the former group, and you have a huge pile of the latter downstairs.

Look at you.

Big day?

Nothing like that.

The auction at the museum tonight?

Just figured I'd come here first, get a quick bite. You know they have food at

those things.

Yeah, but those finger foods, they don't compare to y 'all's cooking.

Well, you're gonna fit right in in that outfit.

Thank you.

You look beautiful.

Where'd you get that dress?

Um, it's vintage.

Donated to the museum. I looked high and low for any historical significance.

Couldn't find anything.

Why? No reason. I just, um, you just look so pretty in it. You're going to

all the men's breath away tonight.

Thank you. Oh, Olivia.

Yes. My dad said he and my grandmother may have come here when he was little.

Millie and Thomas Williams.

No, that doesn't ring a bell.

But you know, baby, a lot of people have come through those doors over the

years. You just let me know when you're ready to order.

Olivia, I heard what you said to her.

You've got to tell her the truth.

That's Millie's granddaughter.

Sweetheart, we have enough to deal with right now. We're going to work all of

that out.

We're not going to lose this play.

But, Olivia... Dex!

The past is a place to learn from, not a place to live in.

Excuse me, baby.

You clean up nice tonight, like the Coltrane song. Thank you, Reggie. You

like you can be in Martha and the Vandellas, the Loving Cups, or the

They were something back in the day. There's still something now.

I think we put too much focus on the Marvin Gays and Stevie Wonders of the

world. But if you ask me, the old girl groups, they really shaped the music of

the 60s. They deserve more credit.

Maybe you can shine a light on that once you become a doctor.

Maybe. Hey, do you know... Olivia from the diner down the street? Oh, yeah.

Best sweet potato pie round.

Oh, it sure is. So what's her story?

Same as everyone else, I suppose. Another day, another dollar, trying to

Okay. I'm going to go look around.

Hey, maybe you can include the daffodil girls once you start shining your light

in all the girl groups, Dr. Naima. The daffodil girls?

Oh, yeah.

I knew them when.

There's a story there. Look it up.

Lonely as a cloud.

But that's The Leaven Cups, which is a great song. It's my grandmother's

favorite. It's a great story, too.

Oh, yeah.

That's a hot item.

It's actually the coolest record in here, but it has zero bids. I don't get

It's probably not shoddy enough.

Yeah, probably not.

So did you do the background check on him? I haven't had a chance yet.

You know, some of us have school and work and other things.

No offense.

No offense taken.

You know what I noticed?

Nobody's dancing, but... Oh, my gosh.

What? Is that Franklin Berry Hall?

Yes, ma 'am.

The man, the legend, the myth.

You don't seem very impressed.

I see him every day.

I do a little work at the record label.

Wow!

To be there every day? If those walls could talk?

Yeah, they say time is money. Now you need to get back to work.

I grew up listening to every record that Barry Hall produced.

Yeah, me personally, I think the label could use a facelift.

That's just me.

Well, here's your dress to Tom.

Nah, you don't want to hear that from me.

I think I'm going to introduce myself to him.

Do you think that...

presumptuous or dumb, annoying?

Nah. Nah. I mean, you know, I hear he really appreciates someone who's not

intimidated by him. Oh, I'm very intimidated by him.

But I wouldn't forgive myself if I didn't meet him.

Okay. I'm gonna do it. Wish me luck. Yeah, get him.

Sorry to bother you, Mr. Berryhall.

Yes. My name is Naima. I'm an intern here. And it is such an honor to meet

sir. Naima?

I'm a huge Coltrane fan.

So were my parents.

You a musician?

No, sir. I'm in academia.

I want to write and teach. I'm getting my doctorate in ethnomusicology.

An admirable aspiration.

Well, if my company can ever be of any assistance, please don't hesitate to

reach out.

Really? Really.

Excuse me, Naima. I need to borrow Mr. Berry Hall for a few announcements.

Announcement? Oh, yeah. We're announcing that we're displaying a retrospective

in honor of the 60th anniversary of Nashville's own Berry Hall Records.

Very nice to meet you. It's my pleasure.

Hey. Why are you standing over here by yourself?

Waiting for my ride.

No. You're leaving?

Yeah.

Can't leave the night still young.

I got an idea.

You like sweet potato pie?

Mm -hmm.

I can tell you're real passionate about what you do.

I mean, yeah.

Like, how lucky are we that we get to live our dreams?

This doesn't happen for everyone. My grandmother, she really wanted to be a

singer. And it just didn't work out for her.

How about your parents?

Well, my mom died when I was a year old.

And my dad has worked at the same printing company for 33 years.

Yeah, he's been super busy just trying to make ends meet so that I can make my

mark. Well, sounds like an exceptional man.

Yeah. No, he's a really great guy. And in a few years, he's going to retire.

I'm going to take care of him. See? I knew you were good people.

So, what about you?

Well, my parents divorced a few years ago.

It was for the best, though, you know?

Like, they're both happy now. My dad's been married.

My dad is a tough love type.

You know, prides himself on being self -made.

So anything I ever wanted when I was growing up to now, I had to go get it

myself.

My dad didn't give me nothing.

And are you?

Am I what?

Making it yourself.

Oh, yeah.

Mm -hmm. I'm getting after it, man. I got an artist. I can't wait for people

see him. Yeah, so I'm doing music on the side.

To take to Mr. Berry Hall?

Uh, maybe. I don't know. I'm thinking about it.

Let me tell you something about Franklin Marriott.

He is a man who knows what he wants.

Okay? He doesn't bend.

Okay. So, by a general secret, though, he's not the only game in town.

No, he's not.

And like you said, he's stuck in the past, but you are forging the future.

that's exactly what I'm doing.

Um, have you ever heard of a girl group, 1960s, called the Daffodil Girls from

right here in town?

I don't think so. Are they a Berry Hall group?

I'm not sure. But Reggie from the museum, he mentioned them tonight. So

a story there.

No, I don't know. But I'll tell you who she asked. She asked Dexter. He knows

everybody.

Dex, you got a second?

Have you ever heard of a girl group called the Daffodil Girls?

The Daffodils? Yeah.

I think they were.

backup singers or something.

Never mattered to anything.

That, uh... Yeah. Nothing there. Okay.

That was weird.

That was weird.

Yeah.

Hi, Professor Dohler.

I'm Naima Williams.

I'm one of your students. Of course. What can I do for you? So I wanted to

to you about my dissertation.

I'm thinking about doing it on African -American girl groups from A to Z.

And what exactly does A to Z mean from a narrative perspective?

Well, I'm not entirely sure yet, but maybe it's the known and the lesser

why some made it and others didn't. Well, that's a start. But if you're

there, go deeper. Like what went on behind the scenes?

You know, the stories that wouldn't be featured on Behind the Music.

What do you know about the song Lonely as a Cloud?

By the Loving Cups.

One of the many one -hit wonder groups from back in the day.

Well, a guy I know mentioned that there might be a story behind that song.

Yeah, I think it was based on an old Wordsworth poem.

That's it, as far as I'm aware.

He also brought up an old girl group, the Daffodil Girls.

No. That doesn't ring a bell, but there were a lot of groups back in the day who

never went anywhere.

I'm not sure how they relate to each other.

I just have this feeling that there's something people aren't saying about

Then keep scratching beneath the surface, because that is where the truth

And maybe you found a lead for your dissertation.

Thanks. Will do.

Hey, Naima.

Hey.

So I literally can't find any digital footprint on this girl group, the

Girls. Have you heard of them? Are they new?

Apparently, they were backup singers who may have released a few songs in the

60s. But several people have acted very strange at the mention of their name.

Like, so cryptic and weird.

You can check our digital archives, but I've never heard of them. Yeah, you

already did.

It didn't sell?

Oh, it did for $5 ,000.

$5 ,000?

Yes, this has been one of the most successful auctions yet.

And it has been requested by the winner that it be hand -delivered.

By you? By me? Mm -hmm.

Why? Who is the highest bidder? That would be one Mr. Barry Hall at Barry

Records. Looks like someone made quite an impression.

And that always helps the museum look good when that happens.

Good job, Naima.

Hi,

I'm Naima Williams. I have a delivery for Mr. Berryhall.

Hey, Naima. Hey.

Thanks for coming.

You're welcome.

I've got a package for Mr. Berryhall.

Is he here?

He most definitely is here.

Do I leave this here with you or should I go look for him?

Oh, I see what's going on. You saw the name Berryhall and you were expecting my

father. I'm sorry, your father?

Yeah. That's the same reaction I always get.

I'm sorry to disappoint you.

No, I'm actually just processing.

You had no urge the other night while I was fangirling over him to say Franklin

Barry Hall is your father?

I didn't think it was appropriate in the moment.

I understand what's going on here.

You're one of those rich, entitled guys. You like to play games, used to getting

anything you want.

I am absolutely not that guy.

I've dealt with your type before.

And I'm flattered, but it's a no for me.

Goodbye, Damien.

No, hey, wait. Naima, hold on a second.

Naima. Naima, wait. Will you stop?

I'm sorry.

But no matter what you think, that's not who I am.

Oh, it's not?

No, it's not.

I get treated differently at the museum from the volunteers because of my dad.

The fact that you saw me as Damien and not Mr. Berryhill's son felt good, you

know?

Yeah, I get them.

How about we hang the record right here?

This wall is all Barry Hall artists.

And Patton wasn't on Barry Hall.

Good point.

Record that special pride belongs in the sanctuary anyway.

There's a church here?

Why don't I show you?

It's gorgeous.

Right? This is one of the few clubs that allow black artists to perform.

I mean, all the greats played here.

Then eventually it went out of business, then my dad bought it.

Turned into a recording studio.

So why do they call it The Sanctuary?

Because when they played here, they fell asleep.

I thought big recording studios like this were becoming obsolete, now in the

digital age.

Well, somewhat.

You see, producers and artists learn there's one thing that digital can't

replace.

That's the vibe of the room.

You see, there's an energy here.

It's inspiring.

You see this mic?

It's beautiful.

This is the same exact microphone that recorded Lonely as a Cloud.

What's the story with that song?

What? That is the song that put this record label on the map.

You know, my dad said if it wasn't for those three girls in the...

In the neighborhood, he'd still be repairing TVs in my grandfather's

And that's it?

I mean, yeah. I mean, they recorded a few songs and they went their separate

ways. And you can still use this mic?

Oh, yeah.

I'm a firm believer in lightning striking twice.

Yeah, I have a feeling it will, too.

I don't believe it.

What's up?

That's my dress.

And that looks like Olivia standing in front of the Loving Cups.

Wow. Yeah, they're not good.

Their performance is way off.

Ladies and gentlemen, that was the Loving Cup performing their

new hit single, Lonely as a Cloud.

That was a great performance.

Say, Wanda, now, is it true that the inspiration for the song came from that

famous poem by Wordsworth?

Who?

Wordsworth. Olivia's definitely not one of the loving cubs. Well, I guess you

could say that, yes.

Yeah, but there's something going on. If you saw the way she looked at me in

that dress... Okay, fine.

We'll talk to her tomorrow.

Tonight we have plans.

Oh, is that so?

We have plans?

Okay, let me rephrase.

Naeem, I would like to take you out tonight if you'd be willing to give me a

chance.

What do you have in mind?

Some good old Nashville, Tennessee fun.

Man, it's a good thing

Man,

it's a good thing

That kid is the future.

And we're working on a song right now that is so good. Wait, are you going to

take it to your father?

Every time I bring it up to my dad, he's just like, it's not as strict as what

we know.

But it was fun and energetic and innovative.

That's what I'm saying.

I'm surprised that he doesn't like it.

I try to tell him. I don't know. I mean, my dad's old school.

And when I bring it to him, anything. He just, I don't know, he just refuses to

listen. So.

Tell me about Zero to Sixty Guy.

Oh, my gosh. He was persistent.

And maybe two dates in, it was love.

Oh, wow. Two dates, huh?

Yeah. And then it just wasn't.

At least for him, anyway.

It's funny. It's like you can be so sure about somebody and then so wrong about

them all at the exact same time. I was just saying this. Okay, so...

Oh, my ex -girlfriend? She was a singer. She tried to pretend like she didn't

know who my dad was.

What? Yes.

And then it finally came out. She was like, what?

I didn't know your dad was a super producer.

But, I mean, it's whatever.

I ignored the red flags, and I made a promise to myself that I will never let

that happen again.

So, I lived my life with eyes wide open.

Yeah.

Same. So.

Aren't you going to ask me why I was so persistent with you?

Oh, I thought it was my smarts and my beauty and my kindness. Is that what you

said? I mean, amongst other things. Okay. You remember.

But, you know, sometimes people ignore the signs, right?

When you are in tune with yourself, your faith, universe, like the

possibilities are out there just begging to be seen.

Sometimes, we just got to open our eyes.

Wow.

Together we make a palindrome?

Yeah. It's dope, right? I mean, what are the chances?

I'd have to say the chances are pretty slim.

When I first saw you, you so eloquently put me in my place.

And it was, I don't know, it was just something cool about you.

It's like I got hit by a proverbial lightning bolt.

And then I noticed this.

Like something drew you to Nashville.

The same way something drew me to work at the museum that day.

This can't be random.

We were always told in church that nothing is random.

Right? Well, maybe our guardian angels are leading us to the truth.

You have to give people a chance to see who you are.

That's the truth.

Maybe you're right.

Maybe that's the approach you can take with your father, too.

Enough about my father.

It's right here.

You and me.

This is too powerful for us to ignore.

It would feel like a slap in the face if we did.

And who will be to tempt fate?

I certainly wouldn't want to disappoint the gods.

Neither would I.

Could I run the same page?

Me too.

Hey, pretty lady.

Oh, look what the cat dragged in, and together, too.

How you doing, Miss Olivia?

I'm good, how you? Good. Y 'all here for breakfast, lunch, or dessert?

I actually just want to ask you something.

Anything, baby, what?

So, I'm doing research for my dissertation on African American girl

and...

Cut this.

Where'd you get that?

That's been on the walls of the studio for years. Like, I never noticed it, but

she saw it.

That's you, right?

Standing in front of the Loving Cup, wearing the dress that I was wearing the

other night? You're making a mountain out of a molehill, baby.

Yeah, but it is you, right? You knew the Loving Cups?

You know...

You should never wake sleeping dogs from their slumber.

What does that mean?

That means I'm done talking about this.

Okay, I don't understand.

If she knew them, why wouldn't she say something?

I don't know.

Maybe it was one of those situations where she got kicked out of the group,

know? And then you bringing it up, I don't upset her.

Hey, you know what this is, guy?

Who has a record store in town?

I mean, maybe, you know.

Yeah. Because there's definitely something she's not saying.

Excuse

me?

Are you Tubby?

It's not what my mama named me, but it's what I got.

I was told that you might be able to help me find a first edition copy of the

Loving Cups album.

I need to see the original liner notes. What do you think you're going to find

on those old liner notes?

Someone I know may have worked with them back in the day, but it's all a bit of

a mystery.

Yeah, there's a lot of secrecy surrounding that group.

Yeah, there is.

Why?

Probably on account of all the rumors.

What rumors?

Well, there's a legend that says the Loving Cups didn't actually sing Lonely

a Cloud. What are you talking about?

Of course they did. Again, still rumors. Showed by a clip of those girls on the

old TV show America's Top Hits.

They stumbled their way through that one and never performed live again.

I saw a video of that performance.

They were definitely off that day.

More than off.

Stranger than the $3 bill.

But people also say the moon landing was fake, so there you go.

Okay, but wait.

If they weren't the ones singing, then who was, according to the rumors?

You care about this so much.

You're a reporter or something.

I'm a doctoral student working on a project.

But Lonely as a Cloud?

That's the music of my childhood.

And if there is a story there, then I'd love to bring it to light.

There was a guitar player back in the day, Scoots McGee.

Session guy, he liked to spin a tall tale.

But he swore up and down that he played on that song.

And these three backup singers, they have their talent behind it. Not those

three girls on TV show.

Backup singers?

Yeah, there were a lot of them back in the 60s.

Buying their time behind the headliner until they hit it big.

But unfortunately, most of them didn't.

There was Sheila Shake, Walter Lilly,

the Soul Sisters, the Daffodil Girls.

Wait. The Daffodil Girls.

I've been trying to find information about them. I can't find anything.

Well, that's probably by design.

In the early days before the Internet, it was easy to erase people.

Why would anybody want to erase them?

I don't know. But if Scoots was right, maybe it's because they were the ones

behind Lonely as a Cloud. Why wouldn't they just put their own name on the

thong? I mean, everybody's looking for a hit. And this is where my information

ends. Like I said.

Scoot wasn't the most reliable source.

Also liked his drink, so take it with a grain of salt.

I really need to find out who they are.

Is there anything else you can tell me about them?

According to Scoot, they sang backup for Chuck Berry in the early days.

But unfortunately, that's all the information I have.

No, this has been incredibly helpful.

Thank you, Tubby.

Olivia? They were a back -up thing?

And you don't need to.

Hey, baby.

Naima, what's wrong?

You knew her.

You knew my grandmother.

And you didn't tell me when I asked you.

I saw a picture of you two.

At one of Chuck Berry's recording sessions.

I can't talk about it.

Yes, you can.

She didn't just want to be a singer. She was a singer.

And if she had left her mark on the world, then... Did I need you to tell

Were the two of you in the daffodil girls?

I can't. Why not?

I suggest you talk to Damien's daddy about this.

Franklin Barry Hall?

He knew my grandmother?

That's all I'm going to say about this baby.

Sorry. Wait, Olivia.

Only as a cloud.

The daffodils.

Okay, and listen to this. In vacant or in pensive mood, they flash upon that

inward eye, which is the bliss of solitude. And then my heart with

fills and dances with the daffodils.

This is the poem that inspired that song. The one that Wanda from the Loving

Cups looked like a deer in headlights when they asked her about it on TV?

I don't know, Naima.

This sounds crazy.

Yeah, but the poem, it mentions daffodils. And it would certainly

reaction when we mentioned them. Okay, all I know is the Loving Cups are the

Loving Cups.

And they didn't steal a song or anything from these daffodil girls.

I mean, come on.

I mean, like, what are we talking about?

I don't know. But I just know when I asked Olivia, she said to talk to your

father about it.

No, there's no way that anyone else sang the song. No way.

I mean, I'd know.

I mean, everybody would know.

I mean, it's my father's signature song.

It's not about my dissertation at this point.

It is about my family.

And I need to know the truth.

That picture on the wall.

Tubby. My grandmother. This book.

Remember when you told me about signs?

Well, they are staring at me.

And I cannot close my eyes to them. I just, I won't. Okay.

I'll give my dad a call and I'll see what I can find out for you.

Thank you.

Good morning, Naima.

Morning, Reggie.

I have a question for you.

Ask away.

You pointed me in the direction of the Daffodil girl.

I'm curious.

Why? Did I?

Yes, Reggie. You did.

Well, sounds like you learned a little something about those old guys.

I'm still in the information gathering state. Ah, so there's information to be

gathered. Uh, yeah. It would seem that way. Look, Naima from the Coltrane song.

I want those girls to get their due just as much as anyone.

But this is a small community.

It's best to exercise some discretion.

What are you talking about?

What girls?

Just be careful who you talk to about it. There's some powerful people in this

town. Some even attached to this museum.

They won't take too kindly to a PR nightmare.

You have a good day.

Hey. Hey, hi.

Hi.

I didn't expect to see you today.

Yeah, I just came by to see Dad.

Wasn't at the office today. He decided to work from home. He's in the study.

Oh, okay.

How you doing? Good?

Fabulous.

You were coming to Friday night dinner, right?

Yeah, of course.

Great.

So, when are you going to let us meet the new girls you've been seeing?

What are you talking about?

I have eyes.

Everywhere. Are you spying on me?

Oh, no, I wouldn't dare.

But I can't speak for your father. Oh, my gosh, tell me about it. But, you

it's new.

Besides, I don't want you guys to scare away.

Oh, we wouldn't do that.

Besides, I haven't seen this twinkle in your eyes in a while.

We just met.

You should invite her to dinner.

I don't know, maybe.

Damien? Okay, fine.

Good. Thanks. Good. All right, I'll see you.

Hey, son.

Hey, hey. This is unexpected.

How you doing?

Good, good.

You know, I just came in to check on you.

Hey, Dad.

Yes?

What's the story behind different groups singing Lonely as a Cloud?

Those are just ugly rumors that resurface every now and then.

Lonely as a Cloud was sung by the Loving Cubs.

Tommy, Jenny, and Wanda.

It's just three friends from the neighborhood.

That's it.

That's it.

Okay.

I bet you guys filmed tons of sessions back in the day.

You know, I'd love to, uh, check them out with you one day when you're free.

Well, it wasn't like we could just whip out a phone and create a, create a, a

tic -tac.

Tick -tock.

Whatever. Look, boy, that was, that was...

Back in the 60s.

I don't even think there was a video of it.

Back then, during early sessions, we just recorded on audio.

So you don't remember a group called the Daffodil Girls?

I think Miss Olivia at the time, I think she might have been one.

No, Damien, I don't.

And you want to know why?

Because if they were anything special, I would have signed on the very hall, and

you would have already heard of them.

Now, sign.

There's no there there.

Okay. Those are just a bunch of ugly rumors that I swear are going to plague

to the day that I die.

Now, is that really what you came here to see me about, or are you here to talk

to me about your music again?

Uh, I mean... I am working with this

new artist.

Really? Yeah, but I believe he's going to be the next big thing, Dad.

Even on CD.

Old school, it's like you like it. Tell you what.

I will give this CD a listen.

Really?

Really.

But I need you to get back to work.

And I'll see you on Friday.

Thanks.

Hey. Yeah?

I love you, boy.

Love you too, Dad.

Hey, listen, Naeem, I spoke to my dad about what we talked about, and there's

nothing to it. It turned out to be rumors.

He didn't even know who the Daffodil girls were.

So, sorry, it's like there's no there there.

Oh, okay.

Um, thanks for asking.

I gotta get to class, okay?

Sorry.

Hey, Daddy, I've got about ten minutes between classes, okay?

And I got about ten minutes before work.

I cannot wait till you never have to work another shift again.

Yeah, you and me are my feet on the same page.

I got your message about Gammy.

Okay, so she never mentioned anything to you about her musical path?

I'm just as shocked as you are.

Thinking back up for Chuck Berry?

Man,

all she ever said was she had dreams, but they weren't meant to be.

Daddy?

I think that Gammy and Olivia and this other woman were the actual singers of

Lonely as a Cloud and not the Loving Cups. I mean, what else would explain

connection to that song?

I mean, it's a nice song. Maybe that's all it is. No, but the poem and the book

and her favorite flower was the daffodil.

It's just, it's too much of a coincidence.

If Gammy had done something spectacular in her life, then the world needs to

know we owe that to her.

Baby. We don't all get to leave our footprints on the moon. Yeah, but this

her legacy.

I know this is hard for you to hear, but we don't all get to matter, Naima.

I just... I think we get to do more than that.

If she wanted us to know about any of this, she had a million opportunities to

tell us. But maybe she couldn't.

How do you mean?

That's what Olivia said.

Maybe they were scared or it was a legal issue or something.

I think I should talk to Franklin Barry Hall myself.

And I think you need to think long and hard about what you're doing.

What you could be sacrificing.

Yeah. Some things are worth the risk.

Thanks for seeing me, Professor.

I'm a little stuck.

What is the overarching question you're answering with your dissertation?

I'm still trying to figure that out.

I guess I want to... No.

I need to shine a light on the inequities of the early days. Okay. So

more on the groups of the 50s and 60s.

Maybe.

Yeah, you know the Shirelles were the first girl group to have a number one

Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?

Everyone wanted to recreate that magic.

But yet, they were paid pathetically low session fees and cheated out of their

royalties. They took whatever opportunity was presented to them, no

meager, and just said, thank you.

Here they were, these women.

Influencing the trends of this male -dominated industry.

But behind the glitz and the glam and the amazing music were real people

who were being taken advantage of.

Okay. So find me some concrete examples of that and get me your research by the

end of the quarter.

Okay. I will. Thank you. You're welcome.

love go.

Now that I've found you. Now that I've found you baby.

Said I'm never, never, never gonna let love go. Oh

baby.

That's what I'm talking about.

Ruben, ladies, you guys sounded great. It just keeps getting better every time.

Thank you, man.

Ruben, I'm going to send you the mixes in a few days, and then we'll go from

there. All right?

Thanks, D. See you later, man.

That was really good.

And I hope you're paying the background singers well, too.

It's a different time.

I know.

I just...

Want to make sure that the artists are being treated fairly. Okay.

I know my dad can be a lot of things, but he's not the monster you made him

to be in your mind. I'm just trying to get to the truth.

That's all.

And what if a lot of people get hurt in the process?

Like, he's not just my father, Naima. He has hundreds of employees worldwide

that rely on him.

I know.

And I don't want to put you in an awkward position. I really don't. I just

this is bigger than both of us.

You're right.

You're right.

Matter of fact, you talk to him, and then he can tell you what he told me. Do

you really think that?

Yeah. I have no reason to believe my dad would lie to me.

We can go to my parents' house, we can have dinner, and he can tell you

And once you hear that, we can put it all behind us and move on.

Cool? Cool.

All right.

Did you really like it?

I loved it.

Hey Naima, here are some more Berry Hall items. Can you write up the description

for the exhibit?

Yeah, of course.

Oh, and a bunch of us are getting takeout from Olivia's while we still

Do you want something?

What do you mean while we still can?

What's going on?

You haven't heard?

No, I haven't been over there in a while. Their landlord raised the rent

they haven't been able to make the payments.

You know how things go in Nashville nowadays.

All the institutions getting pushed out by big business.

So what are they going to do?

Nothing they can do. They're closing down at the end of the month.

I'm so sorry to hear that.

I know. Me too.

Can we order you anything?

No, nothing for me. I'm having dinner at Damien's parents' house tonight.

Is that right?

Look, I understand that you have been searching for something that could

Mr. Barry Hall and his business in a pretty big way.

How did you hear about that?

This music community is small, Naima.

The walls have ears.

I'm not trying to hurt him, Bianca.

I just want to know what role my grandmother played in the industry all

years ago.

And I think he knows. Listen, we are having the Berry Hall exhibit open up in

few weeks.

And he is a big benefactor for us.

So I'm going to put this delicately.

This is not a bear you want to poke just as we're about to honor him.

Get what I'm saying?

This is your parents' house?

Yep. This is it.

That's when a man doesn't come from much and then becomes self -made, goes and

buys the biggest house around because he can.

There's no need to get nervous. My family's cool.

They're going to like you.

Okay. Just don't leave me alone. I don't have a GPS for this house.

I won't.

Naima, you look amazing.

Thank you. You're welcome.

Ready? I'm ready. All right, let's go.

Well, down there goes to the kitchen, and right here is the backyard.

Watch it now.

Okay.

So, I didn't realize when you said dinner with your parents, you meant your

entire family.

Yeah, I mean, we go big. It's the very old way.

It's actually really nice.

There they are.

Oh, hey, now.

Hello. Hi, Phyllis. Good to see you.

Something smells good in there. What are you cooking? Mm -hmm. You'll just have

to wait and see. You stay out of my kitchen.

And this is Naima. Naima, it is so nice to meet you. Thank you for having me,

Miss Berryhall. Oh, no, none of that. Not in this house. Call me Phyllis. I

insist. Okay?

Phyllis.

So, hey, where's Dad?

Oh, he's right down there.

Exactly. Bang. Got that.

Oh, okay. I'm going to introduce Dad to Nightingale. Good.

You ready?

Sure.

Wait, wait.

My back, my back. Get back.

Boo!

Boy, you can't hurt steel.

Hey, son.

Hey, Dad.

Miss Naima.

Good to see you again.

Welcome to our home.

Thank you for having me.

And you better hide, son. The kids are looking for you.

They're going to recruit you. Oh, too late.

Big Damo has always been one of the favorites of the kids.

It's probably because he's just a big kid himself.

As are we all.

I guess we are.

So I hear you want to discuss something with me.

Damien told you?

Let's go to my study.

Talk about it. Shall we?

Wow.

This collection?

Yeah. You know, they used to say that you can tell a great deal about a

From his record collection.

So, what does mine tell you about me?

That you're a man of impeccable taste.

And clearly you are a woman of impeccable judgment.

So, how do you like our fair city?

It's exactly as my grandmother described it.

Just with a few more superstars than when she lived here.

Millie Williams?

That was her name. Did you...

Happened to know her back in the day.

So, why don't you ask me what you don't want to ask me?

Was it the daffodil girl singing on Lonely as a Cloud and not the Loving

Think about what you're saying here and what the repercussions would be for a

great number of people if that were true.

All I can think of is the repercussions for three girls who didn't get a chance

to shine.

Allegedly. Allegedly.

I'm sure you're aware that I've launched the careers of dozens of artists. Men,

women, both black and white.

Not to mention engineers, producers, publishers, secretaries, even session

musicians. And we even established the very first publishing company for

-American songwriters right here in Nashville.

Your contribution has been vast, and I'm not trying to diminish it.

Well, Ms. Naeba, sometimes things aren't what they seem. Sometimes they're

exactly as they seem.

Millie Williams was a part of a trio of backup singers from right here in town.

It consisted of her, Olivia from the diner, and another lady, and they called

themselves the Daffodil Girls.

Well, there were never any Daffodil Girls on my label.

So I'm sorry, but I can't help you with that.

You know, my grandmother was the only mother I ever knew.

My mom died when I was one.

I'm sorry to hear that.

She would sing me to sleep every night.

And just before we'd go to bed, she would say, Every morning you have two

choices.

You can continue to sleep with your dreams, or you can wake up and chase

I never understood why she pushed that on me so hard.

All I can say is as a parent, you want what's best for your children.

She didn't get to live her dream.

And I think you took it from her.

Like I said, sometimes things aren't what they seem.

I just want to know the truth, Mr. Barry Hall.

Why would Olivia tell me I should ask you? I don't know.

Maybe.

Just maybe.

You should stop poking around in matters that...

don't really concern you.

Yeah, Jackie, I'll get you in the studio, man. I'll see y 'all.

Thank you for driving me home. I just didn't want to stay for dinner. I hope

your stepmom isn't insulted.

Nah, she's a sweetheart.

I just couldn't sit there and pretend like nothing was wrong. Hey, Naima, wait

minute.

Maybe it's time to end this.

What are you talking about?

This mission.

You know?

I mean, nobody's telling you anything.

You have asked everyone.

There's got to be a reason for that.

I can't just let this go.

You're talking about my family here. And I'm talking about my family.

Okay.

Damien? Yeah?

There's a vault at Berry Hall.

Right?

With the session tapes.

What are you asking me, Naima?

I just want to see the tapes for Lonely as a Cloud.

They're probably just audio.

Probably?

You don't want to know?

Damien, please.

This is the last thing. I swear. And if there's nothing there, I'll let it go.

I promise.

Welcome to the vault.

500 square feet of climate control chaos.

If those recordings still exist, this is where they'd be.

To see the names on these tapes, this is like the soundtrack to my life.

To see this, to touch this.

I somehow don't feel worthy.

Oh, you're definitely worthy.

Because I wouldn't risk this for just anyone.

I know.

And I hate that I'm putting you in this position.

But you're kind of doing it anyway.

So, over here is where we keep the really old stuff.

Okay.

I feel like I'm back at work.

1974.

1988? Not even close to the correct year.

Wait a minute.

I think I got something.

You found it?

It was a video.

He had everything transferred to VHS.

It's empty.

Yeah, this one is too.

Someone must have taken it.

Someone who wants to hide the truth.

So I take it you're not letting this one go?

I have to go and see Olivia again.

Hey, hey, Miss Olivia.

Hey, you two.

I'm really sorry about the restaurant.

I really wish there was something I could do. You and me both.

But we had a good run.

Yeah. So I went to see Franklin.

And now I just have more questions.

Is that right?

All he said was, sometimes things aren't the way they seem.

Whatever that means. Well, it means what it means, baby.

Nothing else matters.

But my grandmother's life mattered.

I know that.

Hmm.

I guess no one can run me out of town if I'm already leaving.

Leaving? What are you talking about?

Have a seat.

So we were just kids, May, Millie, and me.

We grew up singing in your great -granddaddy's church.

He was a pastor.

Big, powerful man.

Filler of society.

Yeah. He died before I was born, but I've seen pictures of him.

Well, we sang our hearts out every Sunday. We had a gift.

And he would come to us and say, y 'all saved that singing for the Lord.

So one day May came to us and told us that she was picking up some extra cash

singing for the record companies.

Session work.

And me and Millie, we liked the sound of that because we didn't have any money

for ourselves.

So we teamed up and started getting booked.

We sang gospel first and then a little R &B.

Before long, it was rock and roll, blues, all of it.

Now, all this was done on the fly because we knew that our fathers were

going to be happy with their daughters running around singing the devil's

secular music.

We had to be careful.

So everything was done after school, our Bible study.

Then Mae started seeing this boy, a guitar player named Scoots McGee.

He thought he was an ex -Chuck Berry.

He was no Chuck Berry.

But he was doing some session work for a man who was starting his own label in

his daddy's basement.

My father? Mm -hmm.

It is well.

It is well.

With my son.

for all the rage you see and franklin took a shine up and we started working

a few songs oh yes it's a song one day while millie

and i were bored in english class came across this poem and that said

in motion that's gonna be our name so we brought the song to franklin and he

loved it and we recorded it He bought us dresses and everything. He was going to

make us stars.

Look out, Shirelles.

The daffodil girls are in town.

But we never got a chance to perform in those dresses.

Why? We couldn't.

One of the deacons in your great -granddaddy's congregation saw us going

that basement one day.

And it didn't take long for Millie's daddy to track us down.

That was great. That was great.

This is a hit.

Let's go for take two.

What's going on down here?

Daddy, what are you doing here?

I'm sorry, Dad.

I'm sorry.

So here Franklin has a song that can launch his career.

And a very angry pastor.

Threatening him for corrupting young girls. And you never told anyone about

this? It was actually you singing? Who's going to believe a couple of teenagers?

Besides, girls like us, we don't get to be big stars.

Yeah, but the Loving Cups did.

And they didn't even have the talent to back it up. Baby, we did what we were

told. We told the lines that our daddy said.

We signed some papers that we didn't even understand.

And we promised under the fear of God to never speak about it again.

And then your daddy gave us $500 each.

And that felt like a small fortune back then.

And every time you heard the song?

Hmm. Sometimes it made me smile.

But nobody knows it was you.

Well, we knew.

And believe me, it hurt.

But what sense would it have made for us to bring down the Loving Cups because

we didn't get a chance to have our moment? At least our music was heard.

I even went to see them perform once last.

That's the picture you found on the wall.

But everyone can know the truth now, Olivia. There are tapes.

You saw them? No.

But we know they exist.

Look, if you come forward with me, you can finally get your due.

We can do an unveiling at the Berry Hall exhibit.

Baby, I don't need that.

I've made a great life for myself. I have decks, I have four beautiful

and nine grandchildren and no regrets.

You deserve more credit.

You, my grandmother, May.

May's gone too. I'm the only one left. And I do not want to go to war with

Hall Records.

I get it.

It's your family.

And you gotta do what you gotta do.

You know, it means a lot to you.

But if very hard records goes down, it affects everyone.

Past, present, and future.

I mean, it's my dad.

I can't be involved in taking down my family.

And everyone involved in that, there's a legacy to that.

I know.

Is this about her or you? She deserved more.

They all did.

Yes, they did.

This was their legacy.

We can't focus on what we had.

We gotta focus on what we're building.

You're our legacy now, Naima.

You're doing something special on behalf of this family.

And I couldn't be more proud of you.

The small things matter, too.

Dancing to that record.

You got to sharing this with her.

You just didn't know it at the time.

What do I do?

You follow your heart, sweetheart.

And it'll never lead you wrong.

All right, all this is going to be good.

Hey, son, you just in time.

I'm making one of my famous Berry Hall sandwiches.

You want one?

No, not tonight, Dad.

Are you sure?

All right, you're not going to get it in your mind when I finish.

I know everything.

Dad. Huh.

That's quite a statement, son.

Nobody knows everything about the daffodil girls, Dad.

The Loving Cups, The Wings of Cloud.

Yeah, I know.

But I know why you did it.

You knew that song was going to be a hit, huh?

There's no way you could have let that song go.

Even when they threaten you about it.

That's how you build all of this.

That's why you are who you are.

And I'm sorry if it seemed that I was accusing you of something underhanded.

I have no right to tell you how to run your business.

Can you forgive me?

I'll see you at work tomorrow.

Yeah.

See you at work.

Yeah. Love you, Dad.

Yes. I'm sorry, we're closed.

Hey, Frankie.

Livvy.

Dexter.

Long time.

Yeah.

It's been too long.

I need to talk to you.

I need to talk to both of you, actually.

If you don't mind.

Naima?

What are you doing here?

Franklin asked us to come.

Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention, please?

Looking around here is quite the walk through memory lane for me.

Literally every corner in this exhibit brings back a special moment in my life.

And for that, I am grateful.

And I want to thank you all for sharing it with me.

But there is one, one thing that's missing.

One very pivotal thing that's missing.

You please turn your attention to the screen.

I'm sure a lot of you have heard the rumors have been plaguing me for years

about this song.

Lonely as a cloud.

Well, I'm here to tell you that those rumors are true. So

I'm not a perfect man.

I've made some mistakes.

The real artists singing this song are Millie Williams,

May Friedling, and Miss Olivia Brown.

And I'm going to throw in a little something extra.

I know I'm more than just a face in the crowd. So pure with joy I found.
