We talked about a slot for
Aretha Franklin, you remember?
344
00:16:12,180 --> 00:16:13,389
Yeah.
345
00:16:13,389 --> 00:16:15,641
She's more than ready,
what have you got open?
346
00:16:17,602 --> 00:16:19,896
Yes, that'll work.
347
00:16:19,896 --> 00:16:21,439
No, let's book it.
348
00:16:21,439 --> 00:16:24,317
Oh, she's going to be
a great draw for you guys.
349
00:16:24,859 --> 00:16:27,153
Thanks. Yeah, you too.
350

appearance, booked.
351

ARETHA: Thank you, Mr. Hammond.
352
00:16:35,870 --> 00:16:39,290
MR. HAMMOND: Now,
about your next album.
353
00:16:40,583 --> 00:16:46,005
(orchestral jazz)
354
00:16:54,472 --> 00:16:56,974
ARETHA: It sounds a lot
like my last record.
355
00:16:56,974 --> 00:16:58,392
All jazz.
356
00:16:58,392 --> 00:17:00,937
MR. HAMMOND: You have an
orchestra inside of you and
357
00:17:00,937 --> 00:17:04,357
we want to compliment that
to surround you with sound.
358
00:17:04,357 --> 00:17:05,441
ARETHA: I want more than that.
359
00:17:05,441 --> 00:17:06,609
TED: Look at Elvis.
360
00:17:06,609 --> 00:17:09,278
He's got gospel hits
and rockabilly hits.
361
00:17:09,278 --> 00:17:10,863
I mean Aretha's
as good as Elvis.
362
00:17:10,863 --> 00:17:12,573
Hell, she's better.
363
00:17:12,573 --> 00:17:14,867
ARETHA: I can't be a
throwback, times are changing.
364
00:17:14,867 --> 00:17:17,787
MR. HAMMOND: Sounds like
you want to keep trying
a little bit of everything.
365
00:17:17,787 --> 00:17:21,082
I mean the last time it
was tender, moving, swinging.
366
00:17:21,082 --> 00:17:24,001
TED: Why can't she try different
things to see what sticks?
367
00:17:24,001 --> 00:17:26,087
MR. HAMMOND: Because
nothing seems to stick.
368
00:17:26,087 --> 00:17:27,380
ARETHA: It didn't
chart the way we hoped.
369
00:17:27,380 --> 00:17:28,965
MR. HAMMOND: Because
you're all over the place.
370
00:17:28,965 --> 00:17:31,300
You gotta let me establish
you in a particular vein.
371
00:17:31,300 --> 00:17:33,386
You are a jazz singer.
372
00:17:33,386 --> 00:17:37,682
ARETHA: Mr. Hammond, there's
got to be more for me than
just another jazz record.
373
00:17:37,682 --> 00:17:39,433
What about Sam Cooke?
374
00:17:39,433 --> 00:17:40,810
He brings down the house.
375
00:17:40,810 --> 00:17:42,562
His music is for the
lovers and the fighters.
376
00:17:42,562 --> 00:17:43,729
He can sing anything.
377
00:17:43,729 --> 00:17:46,524
I can do that; I know I can.
378
00:17:46,524 --> 00:17:49,151
How about I give you
my version of Foggy Day?
379
00:17:49,151 --> 00:17:50,987
MR. HAMMOND: It sounds
to me like you want
to be Judy Garland.
380
00:17:50,987 --> 00:17:54,949
ARETHA: No. But why not?
Come on, Mr. Hammond.
381
00:17:54,949 --> 00:17:57,743
You and I both know that I'm
going places and so I deserve
382
00:17:57,743 --> 00:17:59,537
to be compared to the best.
383
00:17:59,537 --> 00:18:02,498
I want gold records
and I need songs that I,
384
00:18:02,498 --> 00:18:04,333
I can make a killing with.
385
00:18:04,333 --> 00:18:06,210
MR. HAMMOND: You want a hit
record and I know a thing or
386
00:18:06,210 --> 00:18:07,837
two about what works.
387
00:18:07,837 --> 00:18:10,756
ARETHA: I want
to be on that wall.
388
00:18:14,343 --> 00:18:19,473
MR. HAMMOND: Okay. Okay. Fine.
389
00:18:19,849 --> 00:18:23,311
If you want
to be Judy Garland,
let's try it.
390
00:18:23,311 --> 00:18:25,938
And if we
can't sell records,
391

back to recording gospel.

Thing Comes Along
511
00:24:27,883 --> 00:24:30,844
the seductive new
single from jazz vocalist
Miss Aretha Franklin
512
00:24:31,512 --> 00:24:33,097
who is live with
us in the studio.
513
00:24:33,097 --> 00:24:34,473
ARETHA: Well, thank
you so much, Uncle Terry.
514
00:24:34,473 --> 00:24:35,933
It's a pleasure to be here.
515
00:24:35,933 --> 00:24:37,810
UNCLE TERRY: Ms. Franklin,
why don't you help our listeners
516
00:24:37,810 --> 00:24:39,228
get to know you a bit.
517
00:24:39,228 --> 00:24:41,855
What was life like before
you came to the Big Apple?
518
00:24:41,855 --> 00:24:43,899
ARETHA: Well, I grew up
singing on the Gospel Circuit
519
00:24:43,899 --> 00:24:45,275
all over the south.
520
00:24:45,275 --> 00:24:47,569
My daddy was a
preacher and my biggest hero.
521
00:24:47,569 --> 00:24:49,571
UNCLE TERRY: That's a lot
of traveling for a little girl.
522
00:24:49,571 --> 00:24:51,115
ARETHA: Well, I
think it was a blessing.
523
00:24:51,115 --> 00:24:53,450
I got the chance to sing to a
lot of different folk and I got
524
00:24:53,450 --> 00:24:56,954
the opportunity to practice
being on stage which is a lot
525
00:24:56,954 --> 00:24:58,372
harder than it looks.
526
00:24:58,372 --> 00:25:00,040
It was a great
way to cut my teeth.
527
00:25:00,416 --> 00:25:01,959
UNCLE TERRY: What
have you got coming up?
528
00:25:01,959 --> 00:25:03,711
ARETHA: Next Friday, I, I'm
going to be doing the midnight
529
00:25:03,711 --> 00:25:05,254
gig at the Hudson Gate.
530
00:25:05,254 --> 00:25:07,715
UNCLE TERRY: Following
in the footsteps of Lena Horne
531
00:25:07,715 --> 00:25:09,174
and Billie Holiday.
532
00:25:09,174 --> 00:25:10,843
ARETHA: It does feel very
special to be singing on the
533
00:25:10,843 --> 00:25:12,261
stage where they started out.
534
00:25:12,261 --> 00:25:13,637
I'm really excited about it.
535
00:25:13,637 --> 00:25:16,140
UNCLE TERRY: Now, I've
heard a secret about you.
536
00:25:16,140 --> 00:25:17,975
You've booked
your next TV gig.
537
00:25:17,975 --> 00:25:20,019
ARETHA: Well,
yes, that's right.
538
00:25:20,019 --> 00:25:22,604
I'm going to be on
The Steve Allen Show.
539
00:25:22,604 --> 00:25:24,565
UNCLE TERRY: And a little
birdy told me your new album
540
00:25:24,565 --> 00:25:26,608
is going to be a
little bit of everything,
541
00:25:26,608 --> 00:25:28,402
some show tunes, some jazz.
542
00:25:28,402 --> 00:25:32,281
Have you decided which version
of Aretha gets to sing on TV?
543
00:25:33,699 --> 00:25:36,160
ARETHA: Well, there's
only one Aretha and
544
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,871
she gets to
sing what she wants.
545
00:25:46,420 --> 00:25:49,423
(waltz)
546
00:25:50,549 --> 00:25:52,968
INSTRUCTOR: Now, the waltz is
the first step that's going to

548
00:25:57,681 --> 00:26:00,309
Let's take it from the top.

It's okay, stay with me.

ARETHA: This dress that
we shot this in, I, I love.
557
00:26:21,330 --> 00:26:23,749
I thought I would need to
get something off the rack but
558
00:26:23,749 --> 00:26:25,876
then I decided I had to
have something custom made.
559

if you're going to go out there,

needs to be and until then we

00:26:47,815 --> 00:26:49,733
going to look good,
we going to feel good.
570
00:26:49,733 --> 00:26:50,651
CAROLYN: Yes, we are.
571
00:26:50,651 --> 00:26:52,778

572
00:26:52,778 --> 00:26:56,949
CAROLYN: Oh, Re, you know,
sometimes I look at you, girl,
573
00:26:57,324 --> 00:26:59,827
you are recording for Columbia.
574
00:26:59,827 --> 00:27:02,955
And it's like do
I even have a chance?
575
00:27:02,955 --> 00:27:04,957
ARETHA: Sometimes I look at
you and you're recording at Epic
576
00:27:04,957 --> 00:27:09,461
and I think the same thing.
577
00:27:10,129 --> 00:27:13,799
CAROLYN: All right,
Re, you've got that
TV gig coming up, right?
578
00:27:15,050 --> 00:27:18,595
So, how about you come home
to prepare and then you could
help Daddy with the march.
579
00:27:18,887 --> 00:27:20,514
ARETHA: I'm not
coming to the march.
580

I, I got to work and I'm
trying to set myself up here.
583

Reverend CL Franklin...
681
00:34:09,297 --> 00:34:11,132
CAROLYN: Girl, you still
got rollers in your hair?
682
00:34:11,132 --> 00:34:13,551
Daddy's got 1,000
people at the house getting
ready for the march.
683
00:34:13,551 --> 00:34:14,761
Get dressed.
684
00:34:14,761 --> 00:34:15,762
Cecil's going to pick
us up from the airport.
685
00:34:15,762 --> 00:34:17,138
ARETHA: I told
you I'm not going.
686
00:34:17,138 --> 00:34:18,098
There's going to be
plenty of people at the march.
687
00:34:18,098 --> 00:34:19,683
Daddy won't even
notice I'm gone.
688
00:34:19,683 --> 00:34:21,685
CAROLYN: Oh,
of course he will.
689
00:34:21,685 --> 00:34:24,104
And he'll miss his
favorite daughter.
690
00:34:24,104 --> 00:34:26,189
ARETHA: Daddy stopped
sending money so I'm
twisting in the wind.
691
00:34:30,527 --> 00:34:31,945
CAROLYN: Oh, girl, you
ain't twisting in the wind.
692
00:34:31,945 --> 00:34:34,364
You got Ted.
693
00:34:34,364 --> 00:34:37,325
ARETHA: Daddy can have
his march without me.
694
00:34:43,498 --> 00:34:45,417
CAROLYN: Don't cut him off.
695
00:34:45,417 --> 00:34:49,671
This is an important event not
just for him but for all of us.
696
00:34:49,671 --> 00:34:51,840
And he's your father.
697
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:55,051
ARETHA: Daddy cut
me off because I didn't
want him to run my life.
698
00:34:55,051 --> 00:34:56,469
CAROLYN: Girl, come
on and get dressed.
699
00:34:56,469 --> 00:34:58,305
ARETHA: I'm not going!
CAROLYN: Re, get dressed!

00:34:58,305 --> 00:34:59,806
ARETHA: All right, okay.
701
00:34:59,806 --> 00:35:03,518
You know what you need to leave
before you miss your flight.
702
00:35:07,272 --> 00:35:10,609
Go on now.
I'm staying right here.

TED: I told the stage manager
he need to turn down the AC.
712
00:35:36,092 --> 00:35:37,844
I know you don't like
it too cold when you sing.
713
00:35:37,844 --> 00:35:39,262
You nervous?
714
00:35:39,262 --> 00:35:42,182

Is my daddy out there?

ARETHA: My daddy showing up even
though I didn't go to his march,
722
00:36:00,784 --> 00:36:01,993
you think he's still mad at me?
723

TED: Look, you are
going to be great.

729
00:36:14,881 --> 00:36:17,008
MR. HAMMOND: I'm
treating your daughter well.
730
00:36:17,008 --> 00:36:19,386
I hope there are
no hard feelings.
731
00:36:19,386 --> 00:36:21,221
CL: Water under the bridge.
732
00:36:22,055 --> 00:36:26,267
I appreciate she's still
under contract at Columbia.

00:38:43,530 --> 00:38:46,282
Son.

00:38:57,585 --> 00:39:00,880

her to stay home.
772
00:39:07,804 --> 00:39:09,472
You insisted.
773
00:39:09,472 --> 00:39:12,350
She's too young
to be out there.
774
00:39:12,350 --> 00:39:16,479
All these children
are living without a mother
775
00:39:16,813 --> 00:39:20,358
and the first time that I
let that precious child out of
776
00:39:20,358 --> 00:39:22,569
my sight this happens?
777
00:39:23,695 --> 00:39:26,322
You weren't watching her.
778
00:39:26,322 --> 00:39:29,409
You let her fall
pray to God knows what.

CL: I did keep my eye on
her, Momma, as best I could.

boy who did this must

chase after worldly justice or

she sings what she wants.

One minute insisting

she is doing a jazz number.

I can't reason with her.

796
00:41:32,991 --> 00:41:35,827

CL: No, baby.
801
00:41:45,878 --> 00:41:49,882
And this is not going
to stop you from singing
802
00:41:49,882 --> 00:41:51,843
or from going to school.
803
00:41:51,843 --> 00:41:54,846
Isn't that right, Momma?
804
00:41:54,846 --> 00:41:57,765
BIG MOMMA: We're all
going to pitch in,
805
00:41:57,765 --> 00:42:01,519
and this baby will
be the family's baby.
806
00:42:02,020 --> 00:42:03,563
CL: That's right.
807
00:42:03,563 --> 00:42:08,609
This is not going to stop you
from what you were meant to do.
808
00:42:12,071 --> 00:42:15,491
Meant to do.
809
00:42:25,793 --> 00:42:28,504
MR. HAMMOND: That was
a wonderful performance.
810
00:42:28,504 --> 00:42:29,589
I wish I could stay.
811
00:42:29,589 --> 00:42:30,840
ARETHA: I think
I sang really well.
812
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:32,842
MR. HAMMOND:
You always sing well.
813
00:42:32,842 --> 00:42:35,261
But we haven't
found it yet, have we?
814
00:42:35,261 --> 00:42:36,637
ARETHA: Not from
lack of trying.
815
00:42:36,637 --> 00:42:38,598
MR. HAMMOND: So, let's
get you back into the studio
816
00:42:38,598 --> 00:42:40,224
and put our heads together.
817
00:42:40,224 --> 00:42:41,684
TED: Hammond.
MR. HAMMOND: Ted.
818
00:42:41,684 --> 00:42:44,520
Listen, I, I wish I could
linger but I have another event.
819
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:45,396
Congratulations.
820
00:42:45,396 --> 00:42:47,774
ARETHA: Glad you could make it.
821
00:42:49,692 --> 00:42:52,403
TED: On your birthday
last year, you remember
what you wished for?
822
00:42:53,529 --> 00:42:55,531
ARETHA: Have you
seen my father?
823
00:42:55,531 --> 00:42:57,366
TED: You said you wanted
to be on The Steve Allen Show
824
00:42:57,366 --> 00:42:59,077
and what did I say to you?
825
00:42:59,077 --> 00:43:01,537
I said I was going to
make your dreams come true.
826
00:43:01,537 --> 00:43:03,039
And now look at where we are.
827
00:43:03,039 --> 00:43:04,916
ARETHA: He made it all this
way, stayed for the show,
828
00:43:04,916 --> 00:43:07,001
and didn't stay for the party
which means he was either still
829
00:43:07,001 --> 00:43:09,170
mad at me or he thought
my performance was bad.
830
00:43:09,170 --> 00:43:10,338
Was it?
831
00:43:10,338 --> 00:43:12,632
TED: No, baby, baby,
baby, baby, no, come on.
832
00:43:13,299 --> 00:43:15,009
ARETHA: Mr. Wexler?
833
00:43:16,677 --> 00:43:18,179
JERRY: I'm a big fan, Aretha.
834
00:43:18,179 --> 00:43:19,388
ARETHA: Ms. Franklin.
835
00:43:19,388 --> 00:43:21,808
JERRY: Excuse me, Ms. Franklin.
836
00:43:21,808 --> 00:43:24,811
You know I've
launched a few careers,
837
00:43:24,811 --> 00:43:26,479
Atlantic Records and me.
838
00:43:26,479 --> 00:43:28,648
We roll up our
sleeves and we dig deep.
839
00:43:28,648 --> 00:43:31,025
TED: This contract
with Columbia is almost up.
840
00:43:31,025 --> 00:43:33,486
What she does after
that, that's her call.
841
00:43:33,778 --> 00:43:35,321
JERRY:
Columbia's had a good run.
842
00:43:35,321 --> 00:43:37,573
But music is changing,
you've got to stay ahead of it
843
00:43:37,573 --> 00:43:39,450
or you're going
to get left behind.
844
00:43:39,450 --> 00:43:41,119
Can I be honest?
845
00:43:41,119 --> 00:43:42,954
ARETHA: Yeah, please.
846
00:43:42,954 --> 00:43:46,707
JERRY: Tonight, I wanted
to be wowed but I wasn't.
847
00:43:47,125 --> 00:43:48,584
And I don't think
