Speaker 1: to help you replenish what's been depleted in your body.

39

Speaker 1: speak a lot more aggressively and a lot more knowledgeable

41
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: on this subject. But just giving you a just a

42
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: brief overview of mind standing up now, if you've been

43
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 1: living your life for a while, supplements are necessary for

44
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 1: most of us now. Also, if you've been living your

45
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: life for a while spiritually, you may need some supplements

46
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: because you've just been at it for a while. You

47
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: didn't got woll down a little bit, You're tied some

48
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 1: people around you ain't changing some people around your draining.

49
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 1: It's just life just keeps on coming. Life don't ever

50
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 1: get no easier. It's just you become more knowledgeable about

51
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 1: how to handle it. It does not get any either easier.

52
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 1: You continue to lose love ones, you continue to have

53
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: to confront the challenges. It's just that over course of

54
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: time you become experienced and you can handle them better.

55
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: But life don't get no easier. But spiritually you get

56
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: a little bit worn down. Well, you need some spiritual

57
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 1: supplements too. And I'm just gonna flat out tell you,

58
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: the more God that you can replenish yourself with, the

59
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: higher the dosage of God that you are willing to

60
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 1: put into your spiritual self, the possibilities then become limitless.

61
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: You actually have the ability to make a conscious decision

62
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: to supplement your body, and you have a conscious decision

63
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: to supplement your spirit. You can do both. So what

64
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: I did was, I could just tell you what I did.

65
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: I was taking all these supplements. I started taking supplements

66
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 1: when I was about forty five. I think that's when

67
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 1: I begin I I was thinking about one day and

68
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,479
Speaker 1: I just went wild. Man. I started talking to some

69
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 1: knowledgeable people. I found out I needed these things. But

70
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,799
Speaker 1: then spiritually, man, I started supplementing myself too. I started

71
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: praying some more. I started trying to gain a little

72
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: bit more knowledge and wisdom and understanding from scriptures and

73
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: just try to make makes sense of all of it,

74
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: you know, just just make a little bit more sense

75
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: out of my life, make sure that I was on

76
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: the right path. A matter of fact, get on the

77
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: right path, find out my real purpose and my mission

78
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: in life. And nobody can do that for you. That's

79
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 1: something that you have to want to do. But I

80
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: started supplementing my spiritual side of my life and supplementing

81
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: my body. Now I happened to be right now about

82
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: in the best shape I've ever been in. Technically, I

83
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: can assure you though I am in the best shape

84
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: spiritually I have ever been in. Now my body has

85
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: looked better, It really has. I mean, come on now,

86
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: at who I am in life, at the stage with

87
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: the years I've been walking this earth. Man, I'm cool,

88
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: but spiritually I'm in the best shape I've ever been in.

89
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: And what has done for me, y'all is it gave

90
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: me a piece and a calmness. You know it used

91
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: to be, man, I used to fight so hard against

92
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: people who attack. Now, man, it ain't. It ain't that

93
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: serious to me because now I have a full understanding

94
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: that if I come under attack, that God is with me,

95
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: because that's a promise he made. That's Isaiah fifty four seventeen.

96
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: That's that's the that's Any weapon formed against you, any

97
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: weapon formed against you shall not prosper. You can't. You

98
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: can't come and get me. It's isn't. I'm not here

99
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: for you to take down because you didn't put me here.

100
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: So why would I feel a person bringing me down

101
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 1: when they're not the reason that I'm here. So when

102
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: you attack me, you have to be careful because I

103
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: ain't ever by myself. I formed a relationship with the

104
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: most High that I can rely on for protection, for coverage,

105
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: and for peace. A lot of times when things used

106
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 1: to stress me out, how to run this, how to

107
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: handle this, how to deal with that? You know, famous

108
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: rough Man. And then you put that together with some business,

109
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: and you put that together with your family. You got

110
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff you're trying to tend to. I

111
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 1: have a piece of mind about it now because I

112
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:55,479
Speaker 1: have someone who provides me with a sense of understanding

113
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: and calmness that lets me know that this tool shall pass.

114
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: That it ain't just so saying that. I heard old

115
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: people say that. It ain't just something my mama used

116
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: to tell me. It's something that can really happen. Once

117
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: you get an understanding, this tools your pass. This is

118
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: just another piece of life that you are now better

119
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: equipped to handle. I'm telling you what it's done for me.

120
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: A millions of people out there hear me. Man has

121
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,559
Speaker 1: done the same thing for them. I'm I'm I'm telling

122
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: it new to some people, but there's some people that

123
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,839
Speaker 1: show enough understand what I'm saying. And then if you

124
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 1: if you have known this but kind of forgot it,

125
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: it's time for some supplements. So when you get like that,

126
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 1: and and now you find yourself in a situation with

127
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: a disease or something. You gotta do something. Nah, you

128
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: gotta start juicing all your greens. You gotta start detoxing

129
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: your body. You gotta start purifying the system. See, the

130
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:57,079
Speaker 1: human body has always had a way to repair itself

131
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: if you just give it a chance. Your mind has

132
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: always had a chance to repair itself if you give

133
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: it a chance. And your spirit always has a chance

134
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 1: to repair itself if you give it a chance. It's

135
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 1: the only way I can maintain at this level, and

136
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: it's the only way I have any chance of going further.

137
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 1: I have to increase my dosage or spiritual supplements. I

138
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: gotta talk to God a little bit more. I got

139
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:32,559
Speaker 1: to pray a little bit more. I got to understand

140
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: his word a little bit more. That's all I'm telling you. Man,

141
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: If you do that, if you just pray more, if

142
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: you just studied a little bit more, Man, just try

143
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 1: to get an understand and ask him to help you understand.

00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:49,239
Speaker 1: sing anymore, and she tracked. She contacted me, and um,

307
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: told me that. She said, I've been thinking about you.

308
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 1: She said, we're auditionally from my life story, and she said,

309
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 1: I want you in my life store. And she said

310
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,080
Speaker 1: I know true talent when I hear it, and and

311
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 1: she she was telling me she believes in me, and

312
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,239
Speaker 1: she was just she encouraged me during the time when

313
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: I felt like giving up. And I just there's another

314
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 1: story I want to tell you. I was just I

315
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 1: was in Detroit during the show a couple of years ago,

316
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: and I had to promote the show at the news

317
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 1: station down there, and she called down to the news

318
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: station after she saw me perform on the show, and

319
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 1: everyone thought it was a prank call, and they said,

320
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 1: someone saying there with the Franklin, but we're not not

321
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 1: sure if this is really her. And I said, well,

322
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 1: I do know her, so it could possibly be her.

323
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 1: So I got on the phone and it was Miss Franklin,

324
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 1: and she told me again. She said, I didn't think

325
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 1: I didn't forget about you were still doing my Life

326
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: Story and she said I would love you to play

327
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 1: my sister. And I don't know if that's going to

328
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 1: manifest or not, but just to hear her say those

329
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 1: words to me and just she was always so encouraging

330
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 1: to me, and I said something that I can forever

331
00:29:56,200 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 1: hold onto because I have wonderful memories. We've had wonderful

332
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 1: conversations over the years, and she will never be for guy. Never.

411
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:16,840
Speaker 1: It's a brutal it's relentless, it's unforgiving, and it takes

412
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 1: so much from those we love and from the families

413
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:23,719

421
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 1: President Trump has poorly informed the Congress he's canceling the

422
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:52,239
Speaker 1: pay raises due in January for most civilian federal employees.

423
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 1: He's citing budget constraints as the reason. Quan to a

424
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:58,840
Speaker 1: recent nationwide pope, President Trump is disliked the most in

425
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:02,399
Speaker 1: the state of Massachusetts. Researches for The Morning Consult pole

426
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:05,520

427
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:09,000
Speaker 1: those in Massachusetts disapproved of Trump's job performance, which works

428
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 1: out to a negative twenty net approval rate. Looks like

429
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,320
Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick's collusion case against the NFL is going to

430
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 1: be going to trial. That's right, the gifted yet unemployed

431
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 1: quarterback accusing the National Football League owners of conspiring to

432
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:23,360
Speaker 1: keep him out of work over his kneeling during the

433
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 1: playing of the national anthem. Is well that an arbiter

434
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:30,320
Speaker 1: to a judge, rather that that is going to court.

435
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:33,320
Speaker 1: That's that merits a trial. Uh, the NFL tried to

436
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 1: get a thrown out put you know, unsuccessfully. Finally, funeral

510
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 1: about her, I've been following her for a while. I

511
00:40:56,120 --> 00:41:00,120
Speaker 1: got to meet her at the Borgata. She came to

512
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 1: see me perform. Almost lost my mind. I couldn't believe

513
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 1: that in the audience and she was she was like

514
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:11,279
Speaker 1: four rows. And I actually said in the audience, I

515
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 1: mean I want to get really ex rated, guys, but

516
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:16,759
Speaker 1: you know, miss Franklin to the audience and she was like,

517
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:20,400
Speaker 1: go ahead, so do what you have to do. She

518
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 1: was like going ahead, you know. She her hands were

519
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,959
Speaker 1: up and she was like the thing, say what you want,

520
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:29,719
Speaker 1: you know, and we got a chance to talk backstage,

521
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:33,240
Speaker 1: we took photos. She was like, baby, your eyes are tired,

522
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 1: are you okay? And I mean it's just for me.

523
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 1: It was the beginning of a friendship and a connection

524
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 1: that I never thought would ever come my way. I mean,

525
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:46,759
Speaker 1: I don't know. I've been listening to her because I

526
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 1: was born. I know pretty much every song. So it

527
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 1: three days ago when everyone got news about you know

528
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:56,320
Speaker 1: that she was. She was kind of in a critical state.

529
00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 1: You know. All I did was player records over and

530
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:03,839
Speaker 1: over again, prayer for every meal. She was always there,

531
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 1: um and you know, to wake up today. It's crazy

532
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:14,360
Speaker 1: because I really I actually have her phone number frame

533
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:16,919
Speaker 1: when she gave it to me, you know, she wrote

534
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 1: re Re which was definitely was her nickname, and it hanging.

535
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 1: But the first black and white photo I've ever gotten,

536
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 1: I was gifted by my manager and best friend. John D.

537
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:29,680
Speaker 1: Was the grandson of John D. Hammond, who signed her

538
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 1: to Columbia and also signed Billie Holiday. So that's like

539
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:36,799
Speaker 1: the first piece of art I've ever had, photographic that's

540
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:40,879
Speaker 1: on and frame. Everything is in the studio And when

541
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:42,879
Speaker 1: I got the news, I walked in and up looking

542
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:46,279
Speaker 1: at that photo. Right next to that photo was her

543
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 1: signature and her phone number, you know, and it was

544
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:51,919
Speaker 1: like written on an envelope. I'm hard figured it out,

545
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like this is like precious

546
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:57,640
Speaker 1: thing and it's just you know, the last time I

547
00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:00,279
Speaker 1: saw her was I saw her last before him as

548
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:04,719
Speaker 1: at Elton John's fiftieth anniversary for his foundation trade I

549
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 1: V and I watched him play the piano and sing

550
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:13,600
Speaker 1: like there was no tomorrow. And h who would have

551
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:15,960
Speaker 1: known that a few months later that that would be

552
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 1: the case. So, I mean, we all would be so

553
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:23,320
Speaker 1: lucky to even do one fourth or one twelfth of

554
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:26,760
Speaker 1: what she's done for for the world through her voice

555
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 1: and through her music. And He's great for that God

556
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 1: game in the opportunity to actually need her and to

557

615
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:11,600
Speaker 1: I wanted to share with you as we all celebrate

616
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 1: the life of Areta Franklin. That UH a reason. Franklin

617
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:20,960
Speaker 1: was not only the ultimate UH singer and vocalist of

618
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:25,759
Speaker 1: all times, she was a real civil rights activist. She

619
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:29,960
Speaker 1: used to tell me about how her father, Reverend Cel Franklin,

620
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:34,160
Speaker 1: was the partners with Dr King and Martin Luther King

621
00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:37,800
Speaker 1: Marks in Detroit and first did I have a dream

622
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:42,040
Speaker 1: speech in Detroit in Junior nineteen sixty three before going

623
00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:46,120
Speaker 1: to Washington doing it at the nineteen sixty three March

624
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:50,240
Speaker 1: on Washington, and she telled me ramal and sixty seven

625
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:54,160
Speaker 1: Dr Team. Last year he couldn't make payroll a lot

626
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:57,239
Speaker 1: because a lot of donors had stopped giving money to

627
00:49:57,320 --> 00:50:00,279
Speaker 1: his organization because he had come out of gainst the

628
00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:02,960
Speaker 1: war Vietnam. And I went on the road and did

629
00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:07,640
Speaker 1: eleven cities with Harry Bella Frante to raise money to

630
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:10,399
Speaker 1: cover Dr King's payroll when I was a young aunt,

631
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:13,800
Speaker 1: and then from there all the way through her career.

632
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:17,480
Speaker 1: He was the Freemandela movement. Stevie wanted to give him

633
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:21,080
Speaker 1: the Dr King Holiday. She would always meant a present.

634
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:24,360
Speaker 1: And then when I started becoming known, she knew me

635
00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:27,920
Speaker 1: when I was a boy preacher. She was about thirteen

636
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:30,919
Speaker 1: fourteen years old of me, but her father's come preach

637
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:33,440
Speaker 1: at the church. So as I grew she said, you know,

638
00:50:33,560 --> 00:50:35,440
Speaker 1: I know who you are and I'm gonna help you.

639
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:39,080
Speaker 1: And she would she come to my event. She would

640
00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:42,480
Speaker 1: send us checks. I remember one time she uh sent

641
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:45,880
Speaker 1: me a check to Nashanks Network and I saw a

642
00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:48,360
Speaker 1: few months later, I said, you know, miss Franklin, I

643
00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:51,440
Speaker 1: was so taken aback. Then you're sending the check out

644
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:53,600
Speaker 1: framed it. She's a boy. You better put there in

645
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:55,760
Speaker 1: the bank for I move all the money at that account.

646
00:50:56,080 --> 00:50:57,879
Speaker 1: She said, you have he a copy of the check

647
00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:01,279
Speaker 1: frame the copy I mean. She was like that. But

648
00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:06,880
Speaker 1: her legacy was that she never was disconnected from her community.

649
00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:12,760
Speaker 1: She was never one that lost her authenticity. No starting

650
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:16,320
Speaker 1: made her too big for her not to stay grounded.

651
00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:20,320
Speaker 1: You could be the tallest tree in the music forest

652
00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:23,520
Speaker 1: as long as you were connected to your roots, that

653
00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:27,240
Speaker 1: besides your height. And I learned that from her. She'd

654
00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:30,360
Speaker 1: liked the cook. She laughed and talked. I would always

655
00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:33,400
Speaker 1: go to a birthday part. She was all the way

656
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:37,680
Speaker 1: real and regal at the same time. She was real

657
00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:42,560
Speaker 1: and she was regal, and she appreciated people that never

658
00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 1: forgot their roots and would take a stand when she

659
00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:49,759
Speaker 1: has Sel Franklin's daughter took a stand and started singing

660
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:53,400
Speaker 1: R and B. Some of the critipos criticized then in

661
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:56,680
Speaker 1: the Rhythm and Blues where they criticized because she'd always

662
00:51:56,760 --> 00:52:02,160
Speaker 1: put a Gopfel song in her show. She never uh

663
00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:06,600
Speaker 1: in any way waver. She had this internal strength that

664
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:09,239
Speaker 1: she would do things because she felt it was right.

665
00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:13,520
Speaker 1: So we've lost the greatest female vocals of all time,

666
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:17,200
Speaker 1: but also a great freedom fighter. And I've lost a

667
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:21,680
Speaker 1: dear friend. The world will never have another Aretha Franklin.

668
00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:25,799
Speaker 1: And I know she stood for what's right. And let

669
00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:28,680
Speaker 1: me say that, Steve, there's a lot of that in you.

670
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:31,920
Speaker 1: That's why I wanted to call you this morning, because

671
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:35,280
Speaker 1: sometimes you gotta have people that are standing for something

672
00:52:35,719 --> 00:52:39,319
Speaker 1: rather than fall for anything. I thank you God, bless

673
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:42,919
Speaker 1: your Queen, the soul and the entire Franklin family. Since

Speaker 1: you got the money, will come out there without the money.

680
00:53:01,880 --> 00:53:04,520
Speaker 1: I said, what are you doing? Mr? Read Frankler came

681

Speaker 1: out there with this gigantic purse with her money and

682
00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:12,319
Speaker 1: set it on that stool and started slaying. And I said, wow, yes,

683
00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 1: you know, the old school, old school artists are still

684
00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:18,919
Speaker 1: that way. Look we're celebrating the life of the Queen

685
00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:21,320
Speaker 1: of Soul. I just remember um one time when I

Speaker 1: we got a chance to go up and meet Aretha Franklin.

690
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:40,120
Speaker 1: Oh my god, you had to walk up these stairs.

691
00:53:40,760 --> 00:53:42,760
Speaker 1: You had to wait. You talk about waiting in line

01:19:51,200 --> 01:19:56,040
Speaker 1: am overwhelmed, number one. Um. I've been trying to find

869
01:19:56,120 --> 01:19:59,639
Speaker 1: the words to describe how I feel right now, knowing

870
01:19:59,800 --> 01:20:03,839
Speaker 1: that at we won't have the beautiful Miss Areta Franklin

871
01:20:03,920 --> 01:20:09,040
Speaker 1: with us any longer. To me, she was a great mentor.

872
01:20:09,880 --> 01:20:13,080
Speaker 1: She taught me so many things about the business, what

873
01:20:13,280 --> 01:20:16,400
Speaker 1: to do, what not to do, and she was one

874
01:20:16,439 --> 01:20:18,680
Speaker 1: of the most giving women I know. You know, she

875
01:20:18,880 --> 01:20:22,120
Speaker 1: always would send flowers just on g P. You know

876
01:20:22,240 --> 01:20:25,960
Speaker 1: I told somebody that already. You know, you get home

877
01:20:26,160 --> 01:20:29,360
Speaker 1: from a trip or whatever, and you see these beautiful flowers,

878
01:20:29,400 --> 01:20:31,160
Speaker 1: and you know it has to be from one of

879
01:20:31,680 --> 01:20:35,920
Speaker 1: two people, Tyler Perry or Area Franklin. And you know

880
01:20:36,280 --> 01:20:38,960
Speaker 1: she was just to me, to just the epitome of

881
01:20:39,640 --> 01:20:42,160
Speaker 1: a queen. And that is why she's called the Queen

882
01:20:42,240 --> 01:20:43,640
Speaker 1: of soul. And I know you have a whole lot

883
01:20:43,720 --> 01:20:47,920
Speaker 1: more people to talk to, but she embodied the excellence

884
01:20:48,040 --> 01:20:51,800
Speaker 1: of combining all music genres. She could sing gospell, she

885
01:20:51,840 --> 01:20:53,800
Speaker 1: could sing R and B, she could sing pop, she

886
01:20:53,880 --> 01:20:56,960
Speaker 1: can sing opera, country and Western, you name it, she

887
01:20:57,080 --> 01:20:59,519
Speaker 1: could do it. And so we're really gonna miss her.

888
01:21:00,120 --> 01:21:02,400
Speaker 1: I loved her so much, still love her. We've been

939
01:27:10,760 --> 01:27:14,040
Speaker 1: of your thoughts. Man, Good morning, Steve. Yeah, man, um

940
01:27:15,000 --> 01:27:18,519
Speaker 1: Aretha was a big influence on my music. H just

941
01:27:18,640 --> 01:27:21,240
Speaker 1: her delivery and the passion she had. I remember one

942
01:27:21,280 --> 01:27:23,519
Speaker 1: time I was supposed to have done a tribute to her,

943
01:27:23,680 --> 01:27:27,559
Speaker 1: singing her song, and she requested that not only I sing,

944
01:27:27,960 --> 01:27:30,280
Speaker 1: but that I sing my own music. She wanted me

945
01:27:30,320 --> 01:27:33,439
Speaker 1: to sing Charlene and Can't Let Go, and I was like, wow, here,

946
01:27:33,439 --> 01:27:35,880
Speaker 1: it is a tribute for her, but she understands the

947
01:27:35,960 --> 01:27:38,840
Speaker 1: importance of an artists being an artists and delivering their

948
01:27:38,880 --> 01:27:41,800
Speaker 1: own songs. So it was really touching to know that

949
01:27:41,880 --> 01:27:44,479
Speaker 1: she wanted that. And uh, you know, back when I

950
01:27:44,600 --> 01:27:47,439
Speaker 1: was like really young, about seven and eight, I'm so

951
01:27:47,720 --> 01:27:51,320
Speaker 1: used to hearing just gospel, and you know, my family

952
01:27:51,439 --> 01:27:54,880
Speaker 1: was playing this music that felt like gospel. But I

953
01:27:55,080 --> 01:27:58,599
Speaker 1: heard the lyrics You make me feel like a natural woman,

954
01:27:58,720 --> 01:28:00,599
Speaker 1: and I was blown away. I was just like, how

955
01:28:00,680 --> 01:28:02,920
Speaker 1: could it not be godful if it makes me feel

956
01:28:03,000 --> 01:28:05,160
Speaker 1: like that? And from then on, I was just really

957
01:28:05,280 --> 01:28:08,519
Speaker 1: drawn to learn more, to feel more, and they experience

958
01:28:08,600 --> 01:28:11,800
Speaker 1: more of that sound and a Wretha had it consistently.

959
01:28:12,080 --> 01:28:13,920
Speaker 1: It's a big miss, but that can see a live

960
01:28:14,000 --> 01:28:17,120
Speaker 1: on through my kids. You know, I'll play her and

961
01:28:17,360 --> 01:28:22,320
Speaker 1: just her legacy, the legendary Aretha Franklin will always be around.

962
01:28:22,600 --> 01:28:24,519
Speaker 1: We got more of the Queen of Soul tribute on

972
01:28:58,520 --> 01:29:01,320
Speaker 1: here we go? Hey, who is this? Hey? Steve Tyler,

973
01:29:01,360 --> 01:29:04,000
Speaker 1: Perry here man. I wish I was calling on a

974
01:29:04,080 --> 01:29:07,240
Speaker 1: better occasion, but you know, just celebrating Areta. I gotta

975
01:29:07,280 --> 01:29:09,840
Speaker 1: tell you, I was at one of the last performances

976
01:29:10,000 --> 01:29:12,720
Speaker 1: that she did at the Kennedy Center Islands. I was

977
01:29:12,760 --> 01:29:14,840
Speaker 1: there honoring Rita Franklin. I was sitting up in the

978
01:29:14,880 --> 01:29:18,240
Speaker 1: balcony with Barack Obama and Michelle, and he turned to

979
01:29:18,360 --> 01:29:22,040
Speaker 1: me and he after she finishing Natural Woman and bringing

980
01:29:22,080 --> 01:29:24,519
Speaker 1: the house down, he turned to me and said, that's

981
01:29:24,560 --> 01:29:26,559
Speaker 1: why she's the Queen of soul. And I never forgot

982
01:29:26,680 --> 01:29:28,960
Speaker 1: that and the reason she's the Queen of souls because

983
01:29:28,960 --> 01:29:30,760
Speaker 1: not only she had this incredible voice, but she knows

984
01:29:30,800 --> 01:29:32,680
Speaker 1: that she knew how to use it. She knew how

985
01:29:32,760 --> 01:29:35,080
Speaker 1: to use it to make us feel good, to let

986
01:29:35,120 --> 01:29:37,320
Speaker 1: me have us make babies, to take us the church.

987
01:29:37,479 --> 01:29:41,560
Speaker 1: I mean, she sung us through assassinations and celebrations. So

988
01:29:42,320 --> 01:29:45,400
Speaker 1: Areta is going to be missed, man. And I posted

989
01:29:45,439 --> 01:29:49,120
Speaker 1: this thing yesterday. Uh, the Prince, the Princess, the King,

990
01:29:49,200 --> 01:29:53,759
Speaker 1: and the Queen, Prince, Whitney, Michael, and Areta all gone.

991
01:29:54,000 --> 01:29:56,479
Speaker 1: So I don't know where music is headed now, man,

992
01:29:56,560 --> 01:29:59,280
Speaker 1: but but I'm glad they left us with such incredible

993
01:30:00,400 --> 01:30:04,160
Speaker 1: direction and such an incredible blueprint on what and how

994
01:30:04,240 --> 01:30:06,559
Speaker 1: to do. And I'm just hoping that more singers take

995
01:30:06,600 --> 01:30:09,040
Speaker 1: a listen to these legends and bring us to that

996
01:30:09,240 --> 01:30:11,679
Speaker 1: kind of music, because that's what we missed. So God

997
01:30:11,720 --> 01:30:13,760
Speaker 1: bless her in her family. I want to thank her

998
01:30:13,800 --> 01:30:15,639
Speaker 1: for being a close friend to me and just every

999
01:30:15,680 --> 01:30:19,040
Speaker 1: time she saw me. She loved talking. We love talking.

1000
01:30:19,160 --> 01:30:21,680
Speaker 1: She loved talking about the halves and half nots, and

1001
01:30:21,760 --> 01:30:24,560
Speaker 1: how much she loved she loved Medea and just I

1002
01:30:24,600 --> 01:30:26,320
Speaker 1: mean it was just really really great. And I got

1003
01:30:26,320 --> 01:30:28,000
Speaker 1: a chance to talk to her, you know, when I

1004
01:30:28,080 --> 01:30:29,720
Speaker 1: found out she was ill, and they had her in

1005
01:30:29,760 --> 01:30:32,080
Speaker 1: good spirits, laughing and so and so forth. So my

01:33:08,000 --> 01:33:11,679
Speaker 1: your thoughts. Yeah, I'm sad the loss of my friend

1025
01:33:11,920 --> 01:33:16,920
Speaker 1: Aretha Franklin. I was just in communication with her. Her

1026
01:33:17,000 --> 01:33:20,200
Speaker 1: spirits were up so much so that she wanted to

1027
01:33:20,360 --> 01:33:23,920
Speaker 1: vacation and I knew that, you know, she could not

1028
01:33:24,200 --> 01:33:27,120
Speaker 1: do so. And she said, let's go on another trip, Greg,

1029
01:33:27,640 --> 01:33:30,960
Speaker 1: and I said, sure, the three And of course we know.

1030
01:33:31,360 --> 01:33:34,360
Speaker 1: But one of the things that many people did not

1031
01:33:34,600 --> 01:33:38,360
Speaker 1: know about is that she played a significant role and

1032
01:33:38,520 --> 01:33:43,880
Speaker 1: continues to in changing America. Um her father raised her

1033
01:33:43,960 --> 01:33:47,559
Speaker 1: in the civil rights movement. In fact, C. L. Franklin

1034
01:33:47,840 --> 01:33:50,639
Speaker 1: a towering figure in the civil rights movement. In fact,

1035
01:33:51,120 --> 01:33:55,160
Speaker 1: she traveled with Dr King um Ar Luther King in

1036
01:33:55,680 --> 01:33:59,439
Speaker 1: concerts that benefited the f E. L C And the

1037
01:33:59,600 --> 01:34:03,000
Speaker 1: Silver Ice movement. Indeed, they did a tour of eleven

1038
01:34:03,120 --> 01:34:06,720
Speaker 1: cities to raise money. And also I was fairly to

1039
01:34:06,760 --> 01:34:09,800
Speaker 1: work with her in Detroit and the city. We're both

1040
01:34:09,920 --> 01:34:13,439
Speaker 1: from we've worked in the community there together for some

1041
01:34:13,920 --> 01:34:17,719
Speaker 1: twenty years or more. And she was a great woman

1042
01:34:17,960 --> 01:34:21,519
Speaker 1: more than just the greatest vocalists of all times, which

1043
01:34:21,600 --> 01:34:24,960
Speaker 1: she was, but she was also dedicated to her community

1044
01:34:25,080 --> 01:34:27,639
Speaker 1: and helped change the world with her efforts and civil

1045
01:34:27,800 --> 01:34:30,519
Speaker 1: rights and social justice. And one of the other things

1046
01:34:30,680 --> 01:34:33,080
Speaker 1: that I think people should know is that she was

1047
01:34:33,320 --> 01:34:39,280
Speaker 1: very cultivated and very intelligent and aware of all current affairs.

1048
01:34:39,840 --> 01:34:43,040
Speaker 1: We sit and talk about the political affairs of the day,

1049
01:34:43,560 --> 01:34:48,519
Speaker 1: we would disagree on many of them, uh, And I

1050
01:34:48,680 --> 01:34:53,080
Speaker 1: found it very impressive that she kept up on many

1051
01:34:53,160 --> 01:34:56,720
Speaker 1: of the issues very few entertainers might be informed on

1052
01:34:57,080 --> 01:35:00,920
Speaker 1: or might seek to involve themselves. As you know, she

1053
01:35:01,280 --> 01:35:05,120
Speaker 1: introduced one of the greatest or she brought to us

1054
01:35:05,560 --> 01:35:11,160
Speaker 1: one of the greatest performances of any White House inauguration.

1055
01:35:11,840 --> 01:35:14,599
Speaker 1: And we've been blessed and will continue to be blessed

1056
01:35:14,640 --> 01:35:18,960
Speaker 1: for years and with that performance and with the symbolism

1057
01:35:19,080 --> 01:35:22,680
Speaker 1: that goes along with that. And she was just a

1058
01:35:22,760 --> 01:35:25,560
Speaker 1: great woman, the greatest vocalists of all times, and a

1059
01:35:25,720 --> 01:35:29,760
Speaker 1: great humanitarian who helped change America. Detroit and the rest

Speaker 1: know Aretha Franklin. She was our queen. I know she

1064
01:35:44,720 --> 01:35:47,080
Speaker 1: was everybody's queen, but when it came to the city

1065
01:35:47,120 --> 01:35:52,559
Speaker 1: of Detroit, Aretha was Detroit. Um. I remember my mom's

1066
01:35:52,680 --> 01:35:56,600
Speaker 1: and everybody listening to her. She was always active in

1067
01:35:56,680 --> 01:35:59,240
Speaker 1: the church and her dad's church. We would go to

1068
01:35:59,360 --> 01:36:02,360
Speaker 1: her dad her would hear her seeing and she was

1069
01:36:02,439 --> 01:36:06,679
Speaker 1: just a joy. Um. Even though she's gone, we still

1070
01:36:06,840 --> 01:36:11,280
Speaker 1: have her music, especially her gospel music. And that's the

1071
01:36:11,400 --> 01:36:14,000
Speaker 1: influence that I will always have. That's the vision of

1072
01:36:14,080 --> 01:36:16,680
Speaker 1: her that I will always have. And I just want

1073
01:36:16,720 --> 01:36:19,160
Speaker 1: to say I love you, Aresa. Thank you so much

1074

1081
01:36:48,240 --> 01:36:51,600
Speaker 1: we were just talking about Aresa the other day and

1082
01:36:51,960 --> 01:36:53,960
Speaker 1: and you know I found it interesting. You crossed my

1083
01:36:54,040 --> 01:36:56,519
Speaker 1: mind when you said the other day that God's will

1084
01:36:56,600 --> 01:36:58,840
Speaker 1: will be done. What a legacy we're all gonna make

1085
01:36:58,880 --> 01:37:01,040
Speaker 1: our transition, Steve. You know, we've got a birthdate and

1086
01:37:01,080 --> 01:37:04,000
Speaker 1: a death date and in that middle there there is

1087
01:37:04,120 --> 01:37:08,799
Speaker 1: that dash. What a life to rehash of Aretha Franklin.

1088
01:37:08,880 --> 01:37:11,160
Speaker 1: You know, she could have lived anywhere on the globe,

1089
01:37:11,360 --> 01:37:14,479
Speaker 1: and she chose to continue to live here in the

1090
01:37:14,560 --> 01:37:17,559
Speaker 1: city of Detroit. And of course our hearts are heavy.

1091
01:37:18,320 --> 01:37:22,320
Speaker 1: We pray for her family, um. And nothing like losing

1092
01:37:22,360 --> 01:37:24,960
Speaker 1: a parent and to lose you know, your mom, So

1093
01:37:25,120 --> 01:37:27,800
Speaker 1: we pray for her children, uh and her family and

1094
01:37:27,880 --> 01:37:30,280
Speaker 1: extended family. She is the queen of soul. But Steve,

1095
01:37:30,680 --> 01:37:32,080
Speaker 1: you know I would share with you as well that

1096
01:37:32,160 --> 01:37:34,200
Speaker 1: not only was she the queen of soul, but the

1097
01:37:34,280 --> 01:37:37,960
Speaker 1: work that her father C. L. Franklin did on behalf

1098
01:37:38,040 --> 01:37:40,880
Speaker 1: of not only the citizens of the City of truth Detroit,

1099
01:37:40,960 --> 01:37:43,639
Speaker 1: but around the world and working with Dr King and others,

1100
01:37:44,000 --> 01:37:46,519
Speaker 1: she too was a part of that civil rights movement.

1101
01:37:46,600 --> 01:37:49,800
Speaker 1: Now that we think about her life to rehash we

1102
01:37:50,000 --> 01:37:53,599
Speaker 1: think about who a Wretha Franklin really was not only

1103
01:37:53,680 --> 01:37:56,680
Speaker 1: the queen of soul. And I said the other day, Um,

1104
01:37:57,080 --> 01:37:59,040
Speaker 1: she's the Queen of soul to the world, but she's

1105
01:37:59,080 --> 01:38:03,559
Speaker 1: also family, um to us. You know, she will be missed,

1106
01:38:03,640 --> 01:38:09,160
Speaker 1: but she has left just a huge example of what

1107
01:38:09,280 --> 01:38:12,800
Speaker 1: our young artists should be, how they could tap into

1108
01:38:12,920 --> 01:38:17,679
Speaker 1: her greatness um and of course her her her legacy

1109
01:38:17,760 --> 01:38:20,320
Speaker 1: that she leaves uh here in the city of Detroit.

1110
01:38:20,400 --> 01:38:23,680
Speaker 1: And you know what, Steve, thank you as well. Everybody's

1111
01:38:23,720 --> 01:38:27,840
Speaker 1: talking about her passing, but just the way that you're doing, um,

1112
01:38:28,439 --> 01:38:32,640
Speaker 1: what you're doing and celebrating her life, her loves and

1113

Speaker 1: her legacy. So you know, on behalf of the city.
