starting to feel like home.
866
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:31,252
ARETHA: Welcome to the family,
you sure you want to stay?
867
00:44:32,086 --> 00:44:33,462
RUTH: Look, I'm
going to come clean.
868
00:44:33,462 --> 00:44:35,506
I did not know you had
children, such lovely boys.
869
00:44:35,506 --> 00:44:36,591
Is Ted their father?
870
00:44:36,591 --> 00:44:38,050
ARETHA: No.
871
00:44:38,050 --> 00:44:41,095
We do have a son,
little Teddy.
872
00:44:41,095 --> 00:44:42,722
RUTH: And the father
of the older boy?
873
00:44:42,722 --> 00:44:44,932
ARETHA: Every family's
got their secrets.
874
00:44:44,932 --> 00:44:46,184
We don't air our
dirty laundry.
875
00:44:46,184 --> 00:44:47,768
RUTH: Understood.
876
00:44:47,768 --> 00:44:49,729
As your booking
agent and publicist,
877
00:44:49,729 --> 00:44:51,939
I'll make sure the world
only sees the Aretha Franklin
878
00:44:51,939 --> 00:44:53,316
you want them to.
879
00:44:53,316 --> 00:44:55,067
Look, you have all the
talent in the world.
880
00:44:55,067 --> 00:44:56,527
No need for you to
chase the charts,
881
00:44:56,527 --> 00:44:58,321
they should be chasing you.
882
00:44:58,321 --> 00:44:59,864
ARETHA: For the record,
883
00:44:59,864 --> 00:45:01,449
Ted and I have
a wonderful marriage.
884
00:45:01,449 --> 00:45:03,326
We are raising
three lovely boys.
885
00:45:03,326 --> 00:45:04,827
I come from a
remarkable family.
886
00:45:04,827 --> 00:45:07,496
I am a princess
in a fairytale.
887
00:45:07,496 --> 00:45:10,041
RUTH: I can take
that to the bank.
888
00:45:10,333 --> 00:45:12,168
ERMA: Well, some people would
think twice about going to work
889
00:45:12,168 --> 00:45:14,045
and leaving their kids.
890
00:45:14,045 --> 00:45:18,424
(phone ringing)
891
00:45:19,467 --> 00:45:20,843
CAROLYN: Hello?
892
00:45:20,843 --> 00:45:22,678
ARETHA: If it's Ted,
tell him I ain't home.
893
00:45:22,678 --> 00:45:24,805
CAROLYN: It's Mr. Wexler.
894
00:45:29,268 --> 00:45:31,395
ARETHA: Hello, Mr. Wexler.
895
00:45:31,395 --> 00:45:33,397
Uh‐huh.
896
00:45:34,774 --> 00:45:36,859
JERRY: Let's get you
back in the studio.
897
00:45:36,859 --> 00:45:38,986
ARETHA: I, I need to
be home right now.
898
00:45:38,986 --> 00:45:41,155
JERRY: Okay, all right.
899
00:45:41,405 --> 00:45:43,282
Oh, and I did
something, hear me out,
900
00:45:43,282 --> 00:45:44,659
with "Never Loved a Man".
901
00:45:44,659 --> 00:45:46,577
I had a dozen sides pressed;
902
00:45:46,577 --> 00:45:48,287
what do you think we
should use for the B side?
903
00:45:48,287 --> 00:45:50,164
ARETHA: We don't need one,
just send it out.
904
00:45:50,164 --> 00:45:52,625
JERRY: I already did.
905
00:45:52,625 --> 00:45:57,380
Yeah, DJs love it and now we
need "Mountain" to go with it.
906
00:45:57,380 --> 00:46:00,466
ARETHA: Uh, I want to
record in New York.
907
00:46:01,342 --> 00:46:03,261
JERRY: Great, how soon
can you and Ted get here?
908
00:46:03,261 --> 00:46:05,554
ARETHA: I'm not inviting Ted.
909
00:46:05,554 --> 00:46:07,848
Just get the rhythm
section guys up and I'll be
910
00:46:07,848 --> 00:46:09,600
down in a week.
911
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:12,561
JERRY: Better hurry because
you've got a monster hit.
912
00:46:17,608 --> 00:46:19,777
ARETHA: I got a hit.
913
00:46:19,777 --> 00:46:20,945
We got a hit.
914
00:46:20,945 --> 00:46:23,698
(laughing).
915
00:46:25,574 --> 00:46:29,370
(overlapping chatter).
916
00:46:32,415 --> 00:46:33,833
ARETHA: I need ya'll to
follow me otherwise we're
917
00:46:33,833 --> 00:46:34,959
going to get lost, okay.
918
00:46:34,959 --> 00:46:36,294
Can you give me something?
919
00:46:36,294 --> 00:46:37,837
KING CURTIS: Well,
what you got in mind?
920
00:46:37,837 --> 00:46:39,046
ARETHA: In the break I want
you to hit it like I'm beating
921
00:46:39,046 --> 00:46:41,716
someone's chest or
slapping someone's face.
922
00:46:41,716 --> 00:46:43,801
Like a,
923
00:46:43,801 --> 00:46:46,220
♪ You said
that you loved me ♪
924
00:46:46,220 --> 00:46:48,139
♪ You‐said‐that
you‐loved‐me ♪♪
925
00:46:48,389 --> 00:46:50,182
KING CURTIS: That's the rhythm?
ARETHA: Mm‐hmm.
926
00:46:50,182 --> 00:46:52,059
KING CURTIS: I
got just the thing.
927
00:46:52,059 --> 00:46:53,477
ARETHA: Uh‐huh.
928
00:46:53,477 --> 00:46:55,271
And Jimmy, can you, can
you give me a blues like a,
929
00:46:55,271 --> 00:47:00,026
like a groove like
I was out all night.
930
00:47:02,528 --> 00:47:03,946
That'll be the intro.
931
00:47:03,946 --> 00:47:05,281
JIMMY: Can do.
ARETHA: All right.
932
00:47:05,281 --> 00:47:07,575
KING CURTIS: We'll have a
tasty pocket for you.
933
00:47:07,575 --> 00:47:10,244
ARETHA: King Curtis,
you are my kind of man.
934
00:47:12,788 --> 00:47:14,915
ARETHA (over speaker): I'm
joining with everybody else.
935
00:47:14,915 --> 00:47:18,002
JERRY (over speaker): Well,
you've only got three chords?
936
00:47:19,587 --> 00:47:21,964
ARETHA (over speaker):
I will make them
sound like a million bucks.
937
00:47:23,799 --> 00:47:25,551
JERRY: All right.
938
00:47:26,052 --> 00:47:27,553
ARETHA: All right.
939
00:47:27,553 --> 00:47:29,889
Now, Mr. Oldham, I need you
to punch it for real because
940
00:47:29,889 --> 00:47:31,432
our grove is urgent.
941
00:47:31,432 --> 00:47:33,017
ODEM: Yes, ma'am.
942
00:47:33,017 --> 00:47:34,810
ARETHA: And Mr. Hawkins, this
is not a shave and a haircut,
943
00:47:34,810 --> 00:47:37,313
this is more like
a four on the floor.
944
00:47:37,897 --> 00:47:40,649
HAWKINS: You got it.
ARETHA: All right.
945
00:47:40,649 --> 00:47:43,194
(knock)
946
00:47:43,486 --> 00:47:45,988
TED: It's
Valentine's Day, right?
947
00:47:47,323 --> 00:47:48,657
You thought I forgot?
948
00:47:48,657 --> 00:47:50,576
Excuse me, brother.
949
00:47:54,330 --> 00:47:57,458
JERRY: Oh, you've got
to be kidding me, yeah.
950
00:47:57,750 --> 00:48:00,002
RUTH: Thank you.
951
00:48:01,462 --> 00:48:04,173
ARETHA: With love
from your husband.
952
00:48:12,056 --> 00:48:14,183
JERRY: Okay, let's go.
953
00:48:14,183 --> 00:48:16,519
All right.
954
00:48:16,519 --> 00:48:18,020
Give me that soul,
Ms. Franklin.
955
00:48:18,020 --> 00:48:19,980
DAVID: She writes our parts,
and she can't even write music.
956
00:48:19,980 --> 00:48:21,649
KING CURTIS:
Just like Charles Mingus.
957
00:48:22,108 --> 00:48:24,026
JERRY: Ted, Ted.
958
00:48:32,910 --> 00:48:35,621
RUTH: Nice touch.
959
00:48:35,621 --> 00:48:37,623
Flowers.
960
00:48:37,623 --> 00:48:39,625
TED: You think you can
manger her better than me?
961
00:48:39,625 --> 00:48:42,753
RUTH: We can both
manager her, Ted.
962
00:48:42,753 --> 00:48:44,630
She's going places.
963
00:48:47,967 --> 00:48:49,552

a cry for help, right,

room only out there.
1023

I don't want to be
married to you anymore, Ted.

TED: Why?
1034
00:52:16,300 --> 00:52:19,595
Because CL Franklin
told you to do it?
1035
00:52:19,595 --> 00:52:21,764
Cause the Franklin family
thinks they're too good for
1036
00:52:21,764 --> 00:52:25,601
a regular man,
a pimp like myself.
