in formal education,
547
00:32:25,778 --> 00:32:28,323

for in experience.

- Hmm.
- Sam Cooke.

557
00:33:01,731 --> 00:33:03,691

like Aretha

Yes, Mr. Hammond.

She does.

It's important that you understand
that this behavior

She wasn't raised
in a whorehouse like them.

She was raised in a proper home

descend on her.

00:45:05,162 --> 00:45:06,622
I'm sorry.
722
00:45:09,917 --> 00:45:11,960
Would you like
to take a break, Aretha?
723
00:45:12,711 --> 00:45:13,712
No.
724
00:45:13,879 --> 00:45:15,547
I'll get it right this time.

You have all my records.
728
00:46:50,225 --> 00:46:51,351
You like them?
729
00:46:51,518 --> 00:46:52,519
I bought them.
730
00:46:54,938 --> 00:46:56,482
Which one you like best?
731
00:46:58,400 --> 00:46:59,693
They've all got something.
732
00:47:01,278 --> 00:47:02,946
Is this one your favorite?
733
00:47:09,870 --> 00:47:10,996
Or this?
734
00:47:14,082 --> 00:47:15,334
What are you doing?
735
00:47:15,501 --> 00:47:16,793
Or this one?
736
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:19,213
Went to 64 on the charts.
737
00:47:21,131 --> 00:47:23,133
You didn't even open this one.
738
00:47:25,636 --> 00:47:26,637
You don't like them?
739
00:47:27,471 --> 00:47:28,472
I didn't say that.
740
00:47:28,639 --> 00:47:29,765
Then say it.
741
00:47:29,932 --> 00:47:31,517
I won't be upset.
742
00:47:31,934 --> 00:47:33,227
No one does.
743
00:47:33,852 --> 00:47:36,980
First, I've listened
to all your albums.

745
00:47:40,943 --> 00:47:42,528
More than once.
746
00:47:44,029 --> 00:47:47,032
Secondly, I love music.
747
00:47:47,199 --> 00:47:48,992
I take it seriously.
748
00:47:49,576 --> 00:47:51,411
I managed my first artist
when I was 15.

experienced yesterday,
750
00:47:55,958 --> 00:47:57,834

751
00:47:58,502 --> 00:48:01,421

every time I hear you sing.

Well, first,

00:48:11,598 --> 00:48:15,644
my apologies for putting you
through so much pain.
756
00:48:18,272 --> 00:48:20,983
- And secondly...
- Uh-huh.
757
00:48:21,066 --> 00:48:24,278
...you should have never told me
about your Achilles' heel.
758

Sweet Jesus,
are you serious?

00:49:02,649 --> 00:49:04,377
- What are you thinking?
- Please help me with Daddy.
771
00:49:04,401 --> 00:49:05,402
- No...
- Help me.
772
00:49:06,028 --> 00:49:07,321

I was coming?

you're doing here and I don't care.

Just leave. Now.
777
00:49:22,210 --> 00:49:23,587
Aretha asked me to come
778
00:49:23,754 --> 00:49:25,756
and Aretha can
ask me to leave.
779
00:49:26,923 --> 00:49:27,924
I want him to stay.

This is my house.

00:49:29,217 --> 00:49:32,471
Since when do you get to tell me
who gets to be in my house, Ree, huh?
782
00:49:32,638 --> 00:49:34,431
I want you to
get to know him.
783
00:49:34,598 --> 00:49:35,641
He's not what you think.
784
00:49:35,807 --> 00:49:36,933
Are you pregnant again?
785
00:49:37,142 --> 00:49:38,352
No!
786
00:49:39,561 --> 00:49:41,521
We just wanna be together.
787
00:49:43,065 --> 00:49:44,900
I love your daughter,
Reverend.
788
00:49:46,902 --> 00:49:48,695
And I think she loves me.
789
00:49:48,904 --> 00:49:49,905
I do.

- Ree...
- MAMA FRANKLIN: Clarence! No!

Didn't I tell you
not to mess with me or mine?
793
00:49:54,242 --> 00:49:55,345
- Didn't I tell you?
- Clarence!

Son, don't you let this man put your church
and your soul in jeopardy.

Reverend,
796
00:50:13,470 --> 00:50:14,550
we have to figure this out.
797
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:16,306
I'm not going anywhere.

You can't see
through this hustler?
799
00:50:18,517 --> 00:50:20,727
You're the greatest hustler
I ever seen.
800
00:50:21,687 --> 00:50:24,439
Every night, she picks herself
apart because of you.
801
00:50:24,606 --> 00:50:27,818
She thinks it's her hair,
her body, her voice.
802
00:50:27,984 --> 00:50:30,046
She worries about failing you,
but it's your failure.
803
00:50:30,070 --> 00:50:31,822
Get out! Just...
804
00:50:31,988 --> 00:50:34,157

how busy you are.

00:50:41,373 --> 00:50:43,625
I know about your contract
at Horizon Records.
809
00:50:43,792 --> 00:50:45,252
I was gonna tell you.
810
00:50:45,419 --> 00:50:46,878
When?
When the damn album came out?
811
00:50:47,045 --> 00:50:49,172
Nobody can tell you anything,
Ree. You're so jealous.
812
00:50:49,339 --> 00:50:50,757
Jealous? Of you two?
813
00:50:50,924 --> 00:50:52,084
You think you better than us?
814
00:50:52,134 --> 00:50:54,219
- That's exactly what she's saying.
- No!

I need a change.
819
00:51:07,566 --> 00:51:09,568
I wanna sing
what I wanna sing
820

and I wanna dress
like I want to dress.

822
00:51:16,324 --> 00:51:18,702
He's not worth the shit
at the bottom of my shoe.
823
00:51:18,869 --> 00:51:21,079
So that means that you think
I'm worth less than that.

I won't.

00:52:08,001 --> 00:52:10,462
I'm gonna say goodbye
to my children.

in her entire life.

that's part of the problem.

I say boys because
they're young like Aretha...

Like Miss Franklin,
not because they're Negroes.

These guys are the best musicians
I have ever worked with in my life,
884

and that's saying something.
I've been doing this a long time.
885
00:54:57,754 --> 00:54:59,255
They don't need
to read charts.

through the music.

gospel and so-called
secular music before her,

01:44:50,410 --> 01:44:52,204
He loved you.
1775
01:44:56,541 --> 01:44:58,877
Who's gonna lead us now?
1776
01:45:00,837 --> 01:45:02,547
They don't listen
to me anymore.
1777
01:45:02,714 --> 01:45:06,093
You still have
the biggest church in Detroit.
1778
01:45:07,094 --> 01:45:08,804
I still know
how to get 'em goin'.
1779
01:45:09,429 --> 01:45:10,806
I do.
1780
01:45:10,889 --> 01:45:11,890
CLARA: Can I join you?
1781
01:45:12,516 --> 01:45:14,893
No. I just wanna talk to Ree.
Can I do that?
1782
01:45:15,143 --> 01:45:16,621
- Can I just talk to Ree?
- Of course you can.
1783
01:45:16,645 --> 01:45:18,397
- Daddy, Daddy, Daddy.
- Of course you can.
1784
01:45:20,107 --> 01:45:22,359
I'll be right there
when you need me.
1785
01:45:24,653 --> 01:45:26,571
They need leadership, Ree.
1786
01:45:28,490 --> 01:45:30,075
You should see the way
these fools
1787
01:45:30,283 --> 01:45:33,412
are steppin' over Martin's body
to be in charge.
1788
01:45:33,704 --> 01:45:35,747
I don't want
no part of that.
1789
01:45:36,999 --> 01:45:40,627
And these young revolutionaries
out here,
1790
01:45:40,794 --> 01:45:42,546
they don't want
no part of what we built.
1791
01:45:43,922 --> 01:45:46,383
They want to free our people.
1792
01:45:46,550 --> 01:45:48,176
They all talk.
1793
01:45:48,343 --> 01:45:51,138
Not all of them.
I like Angela Davis.
1794
01:45:52,973 --> 01:45:55,100
She don't care about
public opinion
1795
01:45:55,267 --> 01:45:59,354
and she's not afraid to speak up
to those pigs or anyone else.
1796
01:45:59,604 --> 01:46:02,065
- Pigs?
- Yes, pigs.
1797
01:46:02,691 --> 01:46:04,460
You saw what they did to us
during the rebellion.
1798
01:46:04,484 --> 01:46:06,278
Riots.
1799
01:46:06,445 --> 01:46:08,363
Why shouldn't
we fight back?
1800
01:46:08,530 --> 01:46:11,158
And start a full-on war?
You think we can win that?
1801
01:46:11,324 --> 01:46:12,969
We're tired of
gettin' our heads kicked in.
1802
01:46:12,993 --> 01:46:17,873
Non-violence got us our civil rights
and our right to vote.
1803
01:46:18,415 --> 01:46:19,875
At what price?
Our souls?
1804
01:46:20,042 --> 01:46:21,418
Our dignity?
1805
01:46:22,461 --> 01:46:23,462
Hmm.
1806
01:46:26,757 --> 01:46:28,383
I've been thinking.
1807
01:46:30,886 --> 01:46:32,763
We should
hit the road again.
1808
01:46:35,474 --> 01:46:36,558
Why not?
1809
01:46:36,725 --> 01:46:38,226
A northern tour.
1810
01:46:38,393 --> 01:46:41,897
- Me preachin' and you singin'.
- Mm-mm.
1811
01:46:44,649 --> 01:46:47,194
Just think on it.
1812
01:46:47,819 --> 01:46:49,321
You don't gotta
decide tonight.
1813
01:46:49,488 --> 01:46:51,156
I'm not doing that, Daddy.
1814
01:46:52,491 --> 01:46:55,952
I know you got your very busy tourin'
and recordin' schedule.
1815
01:46:56,119 --> 01:46:58,014
This won't interfere with that.
I won't interfere with that.
1816
01:46:58,038 --> 01:46:59,289
No.
1817
01:47:00,791 --> 01:47:02,793
I'm done with that.
1818
01:47:03,460 --> 01:47:05,670
I can't go back
to headlining with you.
1819
01:47:12,094 --> 01:47:14,846
You're not walkin'
in the spirit anymore. (SNIFFS)
1820
01:47:16,556 --> 01:47:18,850
That is not true.
1821
01:47:19,017 --> 01:47:21,978
You're drinking
and you're whoring around.
1822
01:47:22,145 --> 01:47:23,230
Same as you!
1823
01:47:23,396 --> 01:47:25,249
You not too old for me
to knock you on your ass!
1824
01:47:25,273 --> 01:47:26,834
- You know that, right?
- Is everything all right?
1825
01:47:26,858 --> 01:47:29,152
Just mind your own business!
I'm talkin' to...
1826
01:47:29,319 --> 01:47:30,695
Don't talk to her like that.
1827
01:47:30,862 --> 01:47:32,948
Have you lost
your mind? Huh?
1828
01:47:33,115 --> 01:47:34,699
Maybe.
1829
01:47:35,075 --> 01:47:37,035
Maybe I found it.
1830
01:47:40,372 --> 01:47:42,290
- Come on, let's get you to bed.
- Just...
1831
01:47:43,333 --> 01:47:45,335
Just don't.
1832
01:47:56,680 --> 01:47:58,431
(SOFTLY)
I heard your conversation.
1833
01:47:59,474 --> 01:48:00,559
I'm not sorry.
1834
01:48:00,725 --> 01:48:03,311
No, you ain't got
nothin' to be sorry for.
1835
01:48:04,646 --> 01:48:06,731
Just do
your thing, Ree.
1836
01:48:07,524 --> 01:48:11,987
And you do it as big
and as loud
1837
01:48:12,195 --> 01:48:14,072
and as long as you can.
1838
01:48:58,033 --> 01:49:00,744
Please, just
listen to it again, okay?
1839
01:49:00,911 --> 01:49:02,829
I have a great feeling about
this song,
1840
01:49:03,038 --> 01:49:04,873
and The Beatles
are getting restless.
1841
01:49:05,040 --> 01:49:07,334
They said if you don't do it,
they will.
1842
01:49:07,500 --> 01:49:09,336
The song is Catholic, Jerry.
1843
01:49:09,502 --> 01:49:11,087
I'm a Baptist.
1844
01:49:11,254 --> 01:49:12,422
That's crazy.
1845
01:49:13,006 --> 01:49:14,341
They caught Angela Davis.
1846
01:49:14,507 --> 01:49:16,009
- What?
- That can't be right.
1847
01:49:16,176 --> 01:49:17,677
No, no, no.
1848
01:49:17,844 --> 01:49:20,055
NEWSREADER: Angela Davis,
a young Black militant
1849
01:49:20,222 --> 01:49:22,140
who has been hunted
for nearly two months
1850
01:49:22,224 --> 01:49:23,600
on murder
and kidnapping charges,
1851
01:49:23,808 --> 01:49:27,187
was arrested yesterday
at a hotel in midtown Manhattan
1852
01:49:27,354 --> 01:49:30,065
by agents of the Federal Bureau
of Investigation.
1853
01:49:32,442 --> 01:49:34,653
Angela Davis must go free.
1854
01:49:34,819 --> 01:49:36,988
Black people will be free.
1855
01:49:37,614 --> 01:49:39,950
My daddy says I don't know
what I'm doing.
1856
01:49:40,116 --> 01:49:44,663
I respect him, of course,
but I have to stick by my beliefs.
1857
01:49:45,038 --> 01:49:49,584
You have to disturb the peace
when you can't get no peace.
1858
01:49:55,757 --> 01:49:58,718
What the hell is this tour schedule?
Half the damn dates are gone!
1859
01:49:58,885 --> 01:50:01,489
All right, all right, we were just about
to have a talk with you about this.
1860
01:50:01,513 --> 01:50:02,722
We?
1861
01:50:02,889 --> 01:50:04,599
We're not having
a family barbecue?
1862
01:50:05,600 --> 01:50:06,827
This is one of these
Ken hippie talks?
1863
01:50:06,851 --> 01:50:08,353
I told you
this wasn't gonna work.
1864
01:50:08,436 --> 01:50:09,437
Just breathe.
1865
01:50:09,604 --> 01:50:10,689
Put the damn dates back.
1866
01:50:10,772 --> 01:50:11,916
Don't do it, Cecil.
Listen, Ree...
1867
01:50:11,940 --> 01:50:12,941
You work for me, Cecil.
1868
01:50:13,024 --> 01:50:14,192
CECIL: You overbook.
1869
01:50:14,276 --> 01:50:17,171
You don't show up for half the dates,
then I have to deal with the fallout.
1870
01:50:17,195 --> 01:50:18,280
It's your damn job!
1871
01:50:18,363 --> 01:50:19,548
ERMA: We're trying
to help you.
1872
01:50:19,572 --> 01:50:21,116
Aretha, you need
to slow down.
1873
01:50:21,199 --> 01:50:23,285
You stop for five minutes,
they forget all about you.
1874
01:50:23,368 --> 01:50:24,577
That's ridiculous.
1875
01:50:24,661 --> 01:50:26,871
How would you know, Erma?
You barely have one hit.
1876
01:50:27,038 --> 01:50:28,581
KEN: Ree, you haven't
slept in months.
1877
01:50:28,748 --> 01:50:30,333
CAROLYN: And you look like it.
1878
01:50:30,500 --> 01:50:32,603
You don't want me to tell you
what you look like, Carolyn.
1879
01:50:32,627 --> 01:50:34,921
Well, next time
you have a breakdown,
1880
01:50:35,255 --> 01:50:36,589
don't call us, all right?
1881
01:50:39,676 --> 01:50:40,677
I won't.
1882
01:50:41,886 --> 01:50:43,197
Come on, let's go outside.
Come on.
1883
01:50:43,221 --> 01:50:45,807
ARETHA: And don't call me
when you need a gig
1884
01:50:45,974 --> 01:50:49,769
or you want me to write liner notes
in your jive-ass album
1885
01:50:49,978 --> 01:50:52,439
or introduce you
to some producers,
1886
01:50:52,605 --> 01:50:55,984
or just borrow some cash
that your ass never pay back.
1887
01:50:56,151 --> 01:50:58,611
If I don't work,
y'all don't eat.
1888
01:50:59,946 --> 01:51:01,156
Right.
1889
01:51:01,323 --> 01:51:02,991
Put the damn dates
back, Cecil.
1890
01:51:05,410 --> 01:51:10,123
Three venues in three states
in three days.
1891
01:51:10,457 --> 01:51:12,334
- Happy now?
- Yes, I am.
1892
01:51:13,084 --> 01:51:15,420
And don't ever pull that
bullshit with me again.
1893
01:51:15,587 --> 01:51:17,422
I know how to run
my damn business.
1894
01:51:18,173 --> 01:51:19,758
You asked me.
1895
01:51:20,383 --> 01:51:21,801
Y'all just wanna
take my crown.
1896
01:51:21,968 --> 01:51:23,678
- Oh, God.
- Please.
1897
01:51:23,970 --> 01:51:26,931
Ree, think about our son.
This isn't good for him.
1898
01:51:27,098 --> 01:51:28,767
Don't tell me
I'm a bad mother.
1899
01:51:28,933 --> 01:51:30,494
- Here comes the paranoia.
- KEN: I never said that!
1900
01:51:30,518 --> 01:51:32,812
Olga, bring Miss Franklin
a fruit juice.
1901
01:51:32,979 --> 01:51:34,606
Don't you dare.
1902
01:51:36,232 --> 01:51:38,777
What you staring at?
Go get my lunch.
1903
01:51:39,069 --> 01:51:40,487
Yes, ma'am.
1904
01:51:42,405 --> 01:51:44,032
Tell me y'all don't want
what I got.
1905
01:51:44,199 --> 01:51:45,319
CECIL: All right, forget it!
1906
01:51:45,450 --> 01:51:47,619
I can't talk to you
when that demon takes hold.
1907
01:51:48,912 --> 01:51:50,580
You don't know
what I go through.
1908
01:51:50,705 --> 01:51:52,707
Y'all don't know
what I've been through!
1909
01:51:52,791 --> 01:51:53,792
We love you, Ree.
1910
01:51:53,875 --> 01:51:55,627
Why can't you
see that, Ree?
1911
01:51:56,086 --> 01:51:57,837
Get the hell out of my house.
1912
01:51:58,004 --> 01:51:59,899
No, don't move.
We're going to deal with this, Ree.
1913
01:51:59,923 --> 01:52:01,174
Out!
1914
01:52:02,759 --> 01:52:03,760
Out!
1915
01:52:05,637 --> 01:52:06,638
Out!
1916
01:52:09,974 --> 01:52:11,559
Come on, baby, please...
1917
01:52:14,062 --> 01:52:17,148
Ree, listen to me.
They're here to help you.
1918
01:52:17,232 --> 01:52:18,525
(PIANO PLAYING)
1919
01:52:18,608 --> 01:52:19,609
Please.
1920
01:52:23,071 --> 01:52:24,114
It's your family.
1921
01:52:24,280 --> 01:52:27,325
Teddy! Calf!
Come help your momma sing now.
1922
01:52:32,705 --> 01:52:35,500
(SINGING) To be young
Gifted, and Black
1923
01:52:36,084 --> 01:52:39,295
Oh, what a
lovely precious thing
1924
01:52:41,256 --> 01:52:44,509
BOY:
Young, gifted, and Black
1925
01:52:44,634 --> 01:52:48,680
Oh, what a
lovely precious thing
1926
01:52:48,763 --> 01:52:49,764
Say it again.
1927
01:52:49,931 --> 01:52:53,685
To be young
Gifted, and Black
1928
01:52:53,852 --> 01:52:57,897
Open your heart
to what I mean
1929
01:52:59,065 --> 01:53:02,569
When you're young
Gifted, and Black
1930
01:53:03,403 --> 01:53:05,113
Your soul's intact
1931
01:53:06,114 --> 01:53:09,451
I'm gonna take the kids
back to Detroit with me.
1932
01:53:10,869 --> 01:53:12,996
I think that's best.
1933
01:53:18,251 --> 01:53:19,691
KEN: What are you
thinking right now?
1934
01:53:19,836 --> 01:53:21,337
Just things.
1935
01:53:27,135 --> 01:53:28,178
What things?
1936
01:53:28,386 --> 01:53:29,971
Private things.
1937
01:53:30,638 --> 01:53:33,516
After all this time,
you're still keepin' stuff from me?
1938
01:53:35,685 --> 01:53:37,353
You don't keep stuff from me?
1939
01:53:37,645 --> 01:53:38,688
No.
1940
01:53:39,814 --> 01:53:40,982
You should.
1941
01:53:41,149 --> 01:53:43,276
Why? I trust you.
1942
01:53:43,985 --> 01:53:45,570
Don't you trust me?
1943
01:53:46,237 --> 01:53:47,655

Ree, the spirit

It moves when it moves.

Behave like Episcopalians?

Now what's
really bothering you?
2130
02:08:26,784 --> 02:08:28,827
You told me once

02:08:30,412 --> 02:08:33,332
that music
would save my life.
2132
02:08:34,666 --> 02:08:35,834
I did.

What if it doesn't?
2134

There never was.

Just the pain you've been
runnin' from your whole life.
2138
02:08:51,809 --> 02:08:54,311
But you gotta let it go, Ree.
2139
02:08:55,938 --> 02:08:58,065
Give it to God.
2140
02:09:00,067 --> 02:09:01,276

It's good to see you.
2152
02:10:25,527 --> 02:10:30,616
We were in California, and we heard
that you were singing gospel, and...
2153

Clara dragged me here.
2154
02:10:34,495 --> 02:10:36,455
Clara can't make you
do anything.
2155
02:10:36,622 --> 02:10:38,749
She's got pretty feisty
since you last saw her.
2156
02:10:39,833 --> 02:10:40,918
Glad you came.
2157
02:10:41,627 --> 02:10:45,631
That surprises me, 'cause we haven't
been getting on as of late.
2158
02:10:47,216 --> 02:10:49,510
You told me
I wasn't walking in the spirit.
2159
02:10:49,801 --> 02:10:51,011
I was angry.
2160
02:10:51,762 --> 02:10:53,096
You were with God.
2161
02:10:53,555 --> 02:10:55,182
You have always
been with God.
2162
02:10:56,683 --> 02:10:58,227
He was with me.
2163
02:10:58,810 --> 02:11:01,522
I tried to run from Him,
but He brought me back.

2166
02:11:09,071 --> 02:11:11,740
You taught me every song
I'm singing today.
2167

I did my best.
2168
02:11:19,957 --> 02:11:22,918
But you have exceeded
all of my expectations, Ree.

what you're gonna do next.

Because you can
do anything, Ree.
