379
00:22:18,222 --> 00:22:20,691
I wonder,
do you feel all right?
380
00:22:20,758 --> 00:22:22,259
[congregation] Yes!
381
00:22:22,326 --> 00:22:23,627
[C.L.] I said,
do you feel all right?
382
00:22:23,694 --> 00:22:24,927
[congregation] Yes!
383
00:22:25,763 --> 00:22:27,431
Amen.
384
00:22:28,898 --> 00:22:31,635
I'm ecstatic to be able
to report to you
385
00:22:31,702 --> 00:22:35,372
that the day before yesterday,
we filled up the jail.
386
00:22:35,439 --> 00:22:37,174
[congregation cheers]
387
00:22:37,241 --> 00:22:39,510
We have already won a victory
here in Birmingham.
388
00:22:39,576 --> 00:22:40,810
Amen!
389
00:22:41,844 --> 00:22:43,714
[C.L.] Due, in no small part,
390
00:22:43,781 --> 00:22:46,283
to the valiant work
of our leader.
391
00:22:46,350 --> 00:22:49,386
A man whom I feel
honored to call my friend.

All right! Yes, sir!
Yes, sir! Yes, sir!

Come on! Somebody!
395
00:23:13,711 --> 00:23:16,080
Some people
396
00:23:16,146 --> 00:23:19,083
think that we are crazy
397
00:23:19,149 --> 00:23:21,085
for taking on this fight.
398
00:23:21,151 --> 00:23:22,820
[congregation] Yes!
399
00:23:22,885 --> 00:23:26,023
But the forces against us
are strong,
400
00:23:26,090 --> 00:23:29,159
and they are determined
to stop us.
401
00:23:29,226 --> 00:23:33,497

as determined to go on!

with love.
405
00:23:41,405 --> 00:23:44,641
As long as it takes
to win our freedom.
406
00:23:44,708 --> 00:23:46,009
Yes!
407
00:23:47,511 --> 00:23:50,280
And Jesus is here with us
every single step of the way.
408
00:23:52,449 --> 00:23:53,650
Amen!
409
00:23:53,717 --> 00:23:54,651
Yes, sir!
410

[Aretha] Uncle Martin...
411
00:23:58,021 --> 00:24:01,325
Now don't call me
Uncle Martin anymore.
412
00:24:01,392 --> 00:24:02,826
You make me feel old,
that's the problem.
413
00:24:02,892 --> 00:24:04,294
I want to march.
414
00:24:05,529 --> 00:24:06,797
Don't look at me
like I'm still a child.
415
00:24:06,864 --> 00:24:08,031
I'm not afraid.
416
00:24:08,098 --> 00:24:09,666
- Oh, you're not?
- No.
417
00:24:09,733 --> 00:24:11,335
Well, damn.
418
00:24:11,402 --> 00:24:13,103
Then you need to be
leadin' this movement
419
00:24:13,170 --> 00:24:15,205
and teaching me how to not be
420
00:24:15,272 --> 00:24:17,374
terrified of these
crazy white folks.

- [indistinct chatter]

Why do you want to march?

After all this time
traveling with you,
424
00:24:25,282 --> 00:24:26,850
after all the horror
we've seen,
425
00:24:26,916 --> 00:24:28,419
what kind of question is that?
426
00:24:31,155 --> 00:24:33,357
Are you runnin'
from your daddy?
427
00:24:33,424 --> 00:24:34,491
No.
428
00:24:36,293 --> 00:24:39,863
So, you tell him
you wanna march?
429
00:24:39,929 --> 00:24:41,532
I don't have to.
430
00:24:41,598 --> 00:24:43,967
It's my decision.
I'm a grown woman, remember?
431
00:24:44,034 --> 00:24:48,839
[laughs] Oh, so, you ready
to orphan your kids now, hmm?
432
00:24:48,906 --> 00:24:51,041
- Are you?
- No.
433
00:24:51,108 --> 00:24:52,176
But you're doing it anyway.
434
00:24:52,242 --> 00:24:54,378
Because I have to.
435
00:24:54,445 --> 00:24:56,146
- And I don't?
- Ree...
436
00:24:56,213 --> 00:24:58,148
Singing for the movement
437
00:24:58,215 --> 00:25:00,851
and sending people
into battle with a song
438
00:25:00,918 --> 00:25:02,986
is not enough anymore.
439
00:25:03,053 --> 00:25:04,388
I need to be with them.
440
00:25:05,222 --> 00:25:06,457
You have a good talk?
441
00:25:07,724 --> 00:25:09,126
Yes.
442
00:25:14,731 --> 00:25:16,467
It was a good talk.
443
00:25:17,201 --> 00:25:19,069
Brother, come on.
444
00:25:19,136 --> 00:25:21,205
She's restless, I can tell.
445
00:25:21,271 --> 00:25:23,607
I... I... I don't know
if it's restless.
446
00:25:24,708 --> 00:25:27,010
She just wants to do more.
447
00:25:27,077 --> 00:25:28,512
What kind of more?
448
00:25:39,389 --> 00:25:40,524
I'll be there in a minute.
449
00:25:43,827 --> 00:25:45,028
Momma!

- Momma! Momma! Momma!
- My babies! My babies!

- Are you all right, baby?
- [crying]
453
00:25:55,105 --> 00:25:57,908
Clarence, you go in your room
and wait for me.
454

Come here. It's all right,
baby, it's all right.
455
00:26:00,010 --> 00:26:01,445
Come on. Come on.
456
00:26:01,512 --> 00:26:03,380
It's all right.
It's all right.
457
00:26:03,447 --> 00:26:06,049
[sighs] Every time I come
back, they want me less.
458
00:26:06,116 --> 00:26:07,584
[sighs] That's not true.

00:26:07,651 --> 00:26:09,720
They talk about you
all the time.

Every night, I show 'em
where you are on the map.

We go to Tennessee,
then to Georgia,
471
00:26:37,414 --> 00:26:40,484
then to North Carolina,
and then back to Alabama, I think.
472

Damn. Martin's tour's busier
than Daddy's.
473
00:26:42,886 --> 00:26:46,623
Erma, sometimes we hit
two states in one day.
474
00:26:46,690 --> 00:26:50,527
What was that story about
Aunt Mahalia not paying you?
475
00:26:50,594 --> 00:26:54,097
She said I would receive
my reward in Heaven.

00:26:58,635 --> 00:26:59,770
[Aretha] Oh.
478
00:27:01,939 --> 00:27:03,574
No, Ree. Uh-uh.

[Cecil]
He's got some news, Ree.
483
00:27:18,589 --> 00:27:20,290
I heard
you're cuttin' a record.
484
00:27:20,357 --> 00:27:22,292
Yeah, with Berry
over at Motown.
485
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,328
They got some
sweet sounds, Ree.
486
00:27:24,394 --> 00:27:26,296
They're signing a bunch of
folks in the neighborhood.
487
00:27:26,363 --> 00:27:28,131
Listen, we are trying
to put Detroit on the map.
488
00:27:28,198 --> 00:27:29,533
You gotta be a part of it.
489
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:31,668
- I would love that.
- Yeah?
490
00:27:31,735 --> 00:27:33,337
Cecil, let me talk
to Daddy about it.
491
00:27:33,403 --> 00:27:35,205
Don't bring it up until I say.
492
00:27:35,272 --> 00:27:37,008
You know what?
Let's let Berry talk to him.
493
00:27:37,075 --> 00:27:38,542
[Cecil] Better yet, his sister.
494
00:27:38,609 --> 00:27:40,877
She can talk ice
out of the devil's mouth.

[Smokey chuckles]
496
00:27:42,279 --> 00:27:43,747
What are you drinking?
497
00:27:44,548 --> 00:27:45,882
Iced tea.
498
00:27:47,351 --> 00:27:50,687
Just iced tea?
499
00:27:52,422 --> 00:27:55,626
- With a little bourbon.
- [chuckles]
500
00:27:56,793 --> 00:27:59,396
Yeah, you look
like a bourbon girl.
501
00:28:01,498 --> 00:28:03,034
How long are you in town for?
502
00:28:03,101 --> 00:28:04,334
[Aretha] A week.
503
00:28:04,401 --> 00:28:06,104
Then I return to Tennessee.
504
00:28:06,169 --> 00:28:07,771
Well, then,
I won't waste any time.
505
00:28:07,838 --> 00:28:09,272
[Aretha] Mm.
506
00:28:09,339 --> 00:28:11,908
- I'd like to take you out.
- Hmm.
507
00:28:11,976 --> 00:28:13,777
I'd like you to take me out.
508
00:28:14,778 --> 00:28:15,712
How about tonight?

Come and help me
set this table.

00:28:22,053 --> 00:28:25,056
Yes, to tonight.
512
00:28:25,123 --> 00:28:27,658
- Okay.
- Excuse me a moment.
513
00:28:37,267 --> 00:28:39,403
Reverend.
514
00:28:39,469 --> 00:28:42,205
I put up with you coming
to my house all these years
515
00:28:42,272 --> 00:28:44,608
'cause you were friends
with my friends.
516
00:28:44,675 --> 00:28:46,610
But I don't want you
around here anymore.
517
00:28:46,677 --> 00:28:48,812
May I give you some counsel,
Reverend?
518
00:28:50,048 --> 00:28:52,382
Ephesians 6:4 says, "Fathers,
519
00:28:52,449 --> 00:28:54,618
do not exasperate
your children.
520
00:28:54,685 --> 00:28:56,420
Instead, bring them up
in the training
521
00:28:56,486 --> 00:28:58,522
and the instruction
of the Lord."
522
00:28:58,588 --> 00:29:00,257

Lord, give me strength.

00:29:00,323 --> 00:29:01,892
Are you serious?

00:29:01,959 --> 00:29:04,628
You may wanna loosen
your grip on Aretha.

You know, every minister's
daughter I've ever known...

wanna mess with me...

- I love it.
- [Erma chuckles]

I can tell.
1593
01:24:35,725 --> 01:24:39,030
See, so, she's just
being completely honest
1594
01:24:40,164 --> 01:24:41,865
in a song about
what she feels
1595

at any given moment.
1596

And that's why
the audience relates to her.

I'm still trying
to figure out who I am.

for the Civil Rights Movement.

I ask Aretha to sing
at a fundraiser,
1606

1607

- she always answers the call.

[Jerry] All right, we don't
have to name every country.

All of Europe.

and I think we should
schedule something.

with the new album.

for the new record.

01:29:20,843 --> 01:29:21,844
So, you already
booked the tour?

It's not booked.

[Ted] No, he said
the venues was ready.

[Jerry] That's right. They were
available if we want 'em.

You have to gauge
interest early for it.

- I know how a tour works.
- [Jerry] Okay.

- No.
- No what?

01:29:31,821 --> 01:29:33,457
[Ted] No European tour dates.
1691
01:29:33,524 --> 01:29:34,525
[Jerry] Why not?
1692
01:29:34,591 --> 01:29:36,327
[Ted] Because
1693
01:29:36,393 --> 01:29:37,860
we have some TV dates
we'd like to schedule first.
1694
01:29:37,927 --> 01:29:39,563

Mike Douglas.

will be there

to expand her reach
around the world.

a rare opportunity that is?

1705
01:30:01,618 --> 01:30:02,786
I think I could.
1706
01:30:02,852 --> 01:30:04,421
Of course you could.

just bring us in here,
1709
01:30:10,094 --> 01:30:11,928
tell us where to go,
what to do,
1710
01:30:11,995 --> 01:30:13,297
and send us on our way?
1711
01:30:13,364 --> 01:30:15,032
You should know by now, Jerry,
1712
01:30:15,099 --> 01:30:17,034
that is not the way
I do business.
1713
01:30:17,101 --> 01:30:20,070
Ken, how much money
could Aretha make on the tour?
1714
01:30:20,137 --> 01:30:21,505
Quarter of a million.
1715
01:30:23,140 --> 01:30:25,242

1717
01:30:28,545 --> 01:30:32,049
We'll consider it.
With the right band.
1718
01:30:32,116 --> 01:30:34,184
[Jerry] All right.
1719
01:30:34,251 --> 01:30:35,952
Well, the Muscle Shoals guys
have started their own label.
1720
01:30:36,019 --> 01:30:37,688
King Curtis is ready to go.
1721
01:30:37,755 --> 01:30:39,690
- Curtis is rockin'.
- [Jerry] He's perfect for you.
1722
01:30:39,757 --> 01:30:42,192
Curtis is good, but I've got
some people lined up.
1723
01:30:42,259 --> 01:30:43,761
Really? Five minutes ago,
1724
01:30:43,827 --> 01:30:45,195
you didn't wanna
go on this tour.
1725
01:30:45,262 --> 01:30:46,997
Now, you've got
people lined up?
1726
01:30:47,064 --> 01:30:48,232
Check the tone, Jerry.
1727
01:30:48,298 --> 01:30:50,200
Just take it easy, Ted.
1728
01:30:50,267 --> 01:30:54,271
I'm sorry.
Forgive me for my tone.
1729
01:30:54,338 --> 01:30:56,906
What musicians
do you have lined up, Ted?
1730
01:30:57,775 --> 01:30:59,343
[Ted] George Davidson.
1731
01:30:59,410 --> 01:31:01,745
Miller Brisker.
Russell Conway.
1732
01:31:01,812 --> 01:31:04,947
All right. You can't have
the premier singer of our time
1733
01:31:05,015 --> 01:31:07,518
touring Europe with a ragtag
bunch of amateurs
1734
01:31:07,584 --> 01:31:10,421
suitable for backing
some third-rate blues singer
1735
01:31:10,487 --> 01:31:12,389
in a bucket of blood
in Loserville, Louisiana.
1736
01:31:12,456 --> 01:31:15,092
I want to use Ted's musicians,

Oh, God. Aretha, please.
1739
01:31:19,763 --> 01:31:20,964
Can we move on
1740
01:31:22,166 --> 01:31:23,300
to the next item
on the agenda, please?
1741
01:31:28,472 --> 01:31:31,442
Whatever you say,
Miss Franklin.
1742
01:31:35,379 --> 01:31:37,114
[Ken] So, they do
this funny thing in Amsterdam
1743
01:31:37,181 --> 01:31:38,715
when they really
love a performer.
1744
01:31:39,883 --> 01:31:41,452
They pelt them with flowers.
1745
01:31:41,518 --> 01:31:43,020
Pardon me.
1746
01:31:43,086 --> 01:31:44,555
I warned them not
to get too crazy with it,
1747
01:31:44,621 --> 01:31:46,390
but you might
get hit with a few.
1748
