14
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: just coming off vacation, I was really had some time

15
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: to sit out and and you know, just recharge myself

16
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,519
Speaker 1: and and just think about a lot of things and

17
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: and and really spend some time with my wife and

18
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 1: her and I, you know, just recommitted ourselves and and

19
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: and just went over a lot of things. Just had

20
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:49,119
Speaker 1: a lot of long talks. You know. Communication is the key,

21
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: you know. And I'm a guy and I suffered with

22
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: that as to do a lot of guys. I think

23
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 1: a lot of women, uh say that they have a

24
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 1: communication problem with the men. I'm no different. You know,

25
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 1: I can write a book all day, but I still

26
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: I am a man. I'm wired a certain way. It's

27
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: not making excuses, it's just it's certain things that we

28
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 1: have to pay attention to, especially when it comes to women,

29
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: because of the way we're wired. And we were just

30
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: sitting out there talking and having some conversations, and one

31
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: of the things that I wanted to mention today to

32
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: you as one of the principles of success being grateful

33
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: at all times. It's difficult to do. Being grateful at

34
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: all times. It's very difficult to do. I I find

35
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: that to be true with myself. Now there are others

36
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: that might be able to do it, but just just

37
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: from talking and listening and and and and living and learning,

38
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: being grateful at all times is difficult to do. But

39
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: it's necessary because us. It's it's it's such an act

40
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: of faith in knowing that no matter what's going on,

41
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: it's going to be all right. And it's hard to

42
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: see that when things are not going in your favor,

43
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: when things have turned so dramatically the other way, and

44
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: it seems as though you're the only one in the

45
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: situation where you're involved with other people, or someone got

46
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: an accusation against you falsely, or somebody trying to do

47
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: something to you unjustifiably, whatever the case may be. When

48
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: it's happening to you, it does appear to you that, oh,

49
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: my goodness, man, this is horribly one sided. So it

50
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: is difficult. It's hard to do to be grateful at

51
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 1: all times, but it's so necessary and I just I

52
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 1: just want to point out a couple of things to you.

53
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: First of all, the difficulty in being grateful in the

54
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: hard times is that number one, the present circumstances. Oftentimes

55
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: it's just so pressing and so overwhelming that a lot

56
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: of your energy is devoted to trying to come up

57
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: with the solution for that, or trying to muster the

58
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 1: strength to whether the storm, or trying to just brace

59
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: yourself to try to get through it, and in doing that,

60
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: you don't It's hard to be grateful. It's hard to

61
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: be grateful in pain, and I know it is. But

62
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 1: but here is the trick for me, this is what

63
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 1: I've had to learn how to do, and I I

64
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,919
Speaker 1: guess it takes practice to get here. It's not nothing

65
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: you can just start doing right away. You got to

66
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 1: practice it in small increments to really get it. What

67
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: I've always had to say to myself and what I've

68
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: learned to say to myself is this is happening to

69
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 1: me because God is working me through something. This is

70
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 1: happening to me because there's some form of tests that

71
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: I have to pass in order to graduate to the

72
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 1: next grade, and that in order to be allowed to

73
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: move to the next level. This is happening to me

74
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: because there's something I need to purge my life, of

75
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: my body, of my spirit, of something's purging in me.

76
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: And when you purge something, it's it's painful. You know,

77
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: it's like a person getting off drugs. The withdrawal is agonizing.

78
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 1: I've been told and every documentary I've ever watched it

79
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 1: it's an agonizing process to go cold turkey, to withdraw,

80
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 1: to pull away after you've been doing something so long.

81
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: And so I know that this process is tough when

82
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: you're going through some pain, But when you're purging your system,

83
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: when you when you're when you're having to pass a test,

84
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 1: when you're about to make when when you're being made

85
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: ready for the next level, that moment right in there,

86
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,559
Speaker 1: in realizing that that's what's happening, that's where you find

87
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: the gratitude. That's where I found the gratitude. I hope

88
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: I'm explaining this correctly. I'm gonna keep trying until I

89
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: get it. But that's where you find the gratitude. The

90
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: second part of it is is that God has never

91
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: left me and all the things I've done, in all

92
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: the mistakes I've made, all the lies I've told, all

93
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: the situations I've gotten myself into from being greedy and

94
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: wanting too much for me at the expense sometimes of

95
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: other people, not doing it deliberately or in a vindictive way,

96
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: because I've never had that spirit. I'm not a vindictive

97
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: or mean person, but sometimes in my life, in wanting

98
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: to do what I wanted to do, I didn't totally

99
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: weigh out the cause and effect of the other person.

100
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: I mean, can't just be real with you with that.

101
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: I mean, how many times we had all done that. Look,

102
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: don't don't make you a bad person. You know, good

103
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: people do bad things all the time. I just happened

104
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: to have come to the realization that unknowingly and and

105
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: and not and not with malice intent towards a person.

106
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: I've I've heard people looking at something I wanted to

107
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: do without really looking at what the cause and effect

108
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: would be on the other person. So in doing some

109
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 1: of these things, I've created situations for myself. But God,

110
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: through his grace and mercy, has allowed me to even

111
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: get beyond that. So what I'm saying that God has

112
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: never left me in spite of myself. He's always gotten

113
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: me through. So that's the other part of it, to

114
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: see that no matter what you're going through, you've got

115
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: to understand that God has always gotten you through it, now,

116
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,439
Speaker 1: hasn't it. Now that may not be the way you

117
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: wanted or the way you liked, But guess what, you

118
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: can't do wrong and not pay for that. Now that

119
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,079
Speaker 1: that's not how this works, that's never going to be

120
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: the case. But the great thing about God is he

121
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: fires warning shots at us all the time. He gives

122
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: us an opportunity to stop. You know, He don't fully

123
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: punish us right away every time we do something wrong.

124
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: Now does it? You know eventually you're going to get

125
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: caught doing whatever it is you're doing you do understand that,

126
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,599
Speaker 1: don't you. But the first time, that close call, that

127
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,559
Speaker 1: was a warning shot for you to stop. Look, I

128
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: know you're not perfect. I know we all sent us

129
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,559
Speaker 1: down here, so I know you're gonna make mistakes. One time.

130
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 1: I know you was looking at her when you wasn't

131
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: supposed to. I know you said something to him when

132
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: you wasn't supposed you. I know you got with her

133
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: when you know you wasn't supposed to. And I know

134
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: you got with him when you know you wasn't supposed to.

135
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:07,959
Speaker 1: So I'll tell you what I'm gonna do. I'm a

136
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 1: fire warning shot, and maybe you'll slow your roll this time.

137
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: But we keep on, don't see. See See that's what happens.

138
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,719
Speaker 1: See we just keep on and then the next thing,

139
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 1: you know, we get caught. Now, old Lord, have mercy,

140
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 1: I won't out of this. Yeah, well see you didn't

141
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: dug this hole pretty deep, and he gonna get you out.

142
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 1: But there's some things that's got to go down now

143
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: because you didn't pay attention to the warning shot. See,

144
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 1: had you stopped the first time, you felt bad about

145
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: it and said you wasn't gonna do it no more.

146
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: The situation wouldn't be as critical, but because we don't stop,

147
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: and we go again. But God always for gils. He

148
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: always allows us to get back up again. He always

149
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: gives us mercy. He always gives us his grace. He

150
00:10:55,440 --> 00:11:04,439
Speaker 1: always does that. I love music. I just take to

151
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: it like conductor Water. I love music. Ladies and gentlemen, uh,

152
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: I have your attention. Please. Today we are paying tribute

153
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: to the Queen, the Queen of Soul, the Great Aretha Franklin.

424
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:00,320
Speaker 1: she thought it was bigger than hers. So you know,

425
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 1: we used to laugh about that. So if if she

426
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 1: knew I was gonna have a ring that was bigger,

427
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 1: she would bring it. She would wear I think the ring.

428
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 1: So but it was she you couldn't outdo her periods.

507
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:53,080
Speaker 1: you as we all celebrate the life of Aretha Franklin,

508
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:58,759
Speaker 1: that h Aretha Franklin was not only the ultimate UH

509
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:03,759
Speaker 1: singa and vocalist of all times, she was a real

510
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:07,920
Speaker 1: civil rights activist. She used to tell me about how

511
00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:13,120
Speaker 1: her father, Reverend Cel Franklin, who was the preeminent preacher

512
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:18,600
Speaker 1: of his generation, was the partners with Dr King and

513
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:22,960
Speaker 1: Martin Luther King Market in Detroit. And first did that

514
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:26,360
Speaker 1: I have a dream speech in Detroit in June nineteen

515
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:30,680
Speaker 1: sixty three before going to Washington doing it at the

516
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:34,840
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty three March on Washington. And she telled me

517
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:39,960
Speaker 1: ramal and sixty seven. Dr King last year, Uh, he

518
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 1: couldn't make payroll a lot because a lot of donors

519
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:47,600
Speaker 1: had stopped giving money to his organization because he had

520
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:50,279
Speaker 1: come out against the war in Vietnam. And I went

521
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:54,360
Speaker 1: on the road and did eleven cities with Hart Bellafonte

522
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:58,400
Speaker 1: to raise money to cover Dr King's payroll when I

523
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:02,200
Speaker 1: was a young artist. And then from there all the

524
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:06,760
Speaker 1: way through her career. He was the Mandela Free Mandela movement.

525
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 1: Stevie wanted to getting the doctor King holiday. She would

526
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 1: always mend a presence. And then when I started becoming known.

527
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:18,120
Speaker 1: She knew me when I was a boy preacher. She

528
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:21,840
Speaker 1: was about thirteen fourteen years older me, but her father's

529
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:24,799
Speaker 1: come freach at the church. So as I grew she said,

530
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:26,560
Speaker 1: you know, I know who you are, and I'm gonna

531
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:29,920
Speaker 1: help you. And she would she come to my events.

532
00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:33,560
Speaker 1: She would send us check. I remember one time she

533
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:38,000
Speaker 1: uh sent me a check to NASHNAS network and I saw,

534
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:39,400
Speaker 1: if you want to say that, I said, you know,

535
00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 1: miss Franklin, I was so uh taken aback that you

536
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:45,560
Speaker 1: send me the check. I framed it. She's a boy

537
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:47,319
Speaker 1: even put there in the bank for I moved all

538
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:49,480
Speaker 1: the money out that account. She said, you have a

539
00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 1: copy of the check, framed the copy. I mean she

540
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 1: was like that. But legacy was that she never was

541
00:47:57,320 --> 00:48:02,800
Speaker 1: disconnected from her community. She was never one that lost

542
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:07,120
Speaker 1: her authenticity no start and made her too big for

543
00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:10,880
Speaker 1: her not to stay grounded. You could be the tallest

544
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:14,759
Speaker 1: tree in the music forest as long as you were

545
00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 1: connected to your roots. That besides your height. And I

546
00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:21,040
Speaker 1: learned that from her she'd liked to cook, and she'd

547
00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:24,080
Speaker 1: laughed and talked. I would always go to birthday part

548
00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:28,680
Speaker 1: She was all the way real and regal at the

549
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:32,480
Speaker 1: same time. She was real and she was regal, and

550
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:37,200
Speaker 1: she appreciated people that never forgot their roots and would

551
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:40,600
Speaker 1: take a stand when she had sel Franklin's daughter took

552
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:43,640
Speaker 1: a stand and started singing R and B. Some of

553
00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:47,359
Speaker 1: the trick folks criticized then in the Rhythm and Bruce

554
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:50,479
Speaker 1: where they criticized because she'd always put a gospel song

555
00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:56,400
Speaker 1: in her show. She never uh in any way wavered.

556
00:48:56,920 --> 00:49:00,479
Speaker 1: She had this internal strength that she would do things

557
00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:03,600
Speaker 1: because you felt it was right. So we've lost the

558
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:07,640
Speaker 1: greatest female vocals of all time, but also a great

559
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:11,840
Speaker 1: freedom fighter. And I've lost a dear friend. The world

560
00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:16,320
Speaker 1: will never have another Reatha Franklin. And I know she

561
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:19,480
Speaker 1: stood for what's right. And let me say this, Steve,

562
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:23,000
Speaker 1: there's a lot of that in you. Uh here we go, Hey,

563
00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:26,920
Speaker 1: who is this? Hey, Steves Keith Sweat? Uh My condoles

564
00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:29,880
Speaker 1: is definitely goes out to the family of Mississia Franklin.

565
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:37,240
Speaker 1: She was definitely a pioneer open doors for so many people,

566
00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:42,440
Speaker 1: I mean musically, and just really was. It was definitely

567
00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:46,080
Speaker 1: a class that. I mean, I remember readA back in

568
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:48,239
Speaker 1: the day with I used to walk down it, you know,

569
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:51,000
Speaker 1: being from Harlem, I used to walk down the streets

570
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:53,759
Speaker 1: for Harleman look on the power sign and it would

571
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:57,319
Speaker 1: say I read the Franklin performance tonight. Huh and uh

572
00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:01,360
Speaker 1: Ily the line all the way around the corner, you know,

573
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:03,880
Speaker 1: seventh Favenue landing that you know, it would go as

574
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:08,200
Speaker 1: far back as that. So for me, I know, we've

575
00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:12,200
Speaker 1: lost someone that you know, it has been a inspiration too,

576
00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:15,360
Speaker 1: and and and someone who has opened many doors for

577
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:19,160
Speaker 1: people like Mary J. Blige to be honestly of the world,

578
00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:21,520
Speaker 1: and just the list goes on and on and on,

579
00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:25,160
Speaker 1: and she would be truly truly missed. Uh. She was

580
00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:30,000
Speaker 1: definitely one who said standards for so many people today

581
00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:32,720
Speaker 1: in this R and B game and this music game period.

582
00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:35,640
Speaker 1: And you know that was at the time whether the

583
00:50:35,719 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 1: pop music was R and B music. So I mean,

584
00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:44,560
Speaker 1: just her legacy expands from generations upon generations, so you know,

585
00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:47,000
Speaker 1: she would be truly truly mess man. I just remember

586
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:48,919
Speaker 1: um one time when I met her, I was working

587
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:52,880
Speaker 1: at w g C I in Chicago. Yes, and she

588
00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:55,600
Speaker 1: she she gave a concert and the radio show radio

589
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:58,959
Speaker 1: station hosted the concert, and afterwards we got a chance

590
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 1: to go up and meet a Aretha Franklin. Oh my god,

Speaker 1: you up. You had to walk up these stairs, You

592
00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:09,839
Speaker 1: had to wait. You talk about waiting in line here

Speaker 1: at the Gucci store, Steve off the air, You talked

594
00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:14,560

595
00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:17,600
Speaker 1: care how long the line was to wait to see Aretha.

596
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:21,200
Speaker 1: And when when when it finally came to be my turn,

597
00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:24,080
Speaker 1: they opened the door. I took a deep breath and

598
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:27,440
Speaker 1: there she was sitting there like the queen that she is,

599
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:32,000
Speaker 1: And it was really like meeting the Queen. I mean really,

600
00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:35,320
Speaker 1: I felt I did everything but Curtsey, I did everything.

601
00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:38,320
Speaker 1: I did everything but that. We're gonna go to the phone.

Speaker 1: big injoint on my music, just her delivery and the

604
00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:47,680

606
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:54,080

608
00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:59,239
Speaker 1: you can't let go, and Uh, I was like, wow,

609
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:02,520
Speaker 1: here it is for her, but she understands the importance

610
00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:05,640
Speaker 1: of an artist being an artists and delivering their own songs.

611
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:08,520
Speaker 1: So it was really touching to know that she wanted that.

612
00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:11,600
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, back when I was like really young,

613
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:15,080
Speaker 1: about seven and eight, I'm so used to hearing just gospel,

614
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:19,160
Speaker 1: and my family was playing this music that felt like gospel.

615
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:22,440
Speaker 1: But I heard the lyrics you make me feel like

616
00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:24,600
Speaker 1: a natural woman, and I was blown away. I was

617
00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:26,920
Speaker 1: just like, how could it not be gospel if it

618
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:29,239
Speaker 1: makes me feel like that? And from then on, I

619
00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:32,359
Speaker 1: was just really drawn to learn more, to feel more,

620
00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:35,640
Speaker 1: and they experienced more of that sound and Areta had

621
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:38,279
Speaker 1: it consistently. It's a big miss, but Hers, I can

670
00:58:23,600 --> 00:58:26,640

671
00:58:27,480 --> 00:58:29,920
Speaker 1: that in the audience, you know, she was she was

672
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:33,960
Speaker 1: like four rows. And I actually said in the audience,

673
00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:36,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I want to get really X rated, guys,

674
00:58:36,640 --> 00:58:39,120
Speaker 1: but you know, Miss Franklin's in the audience, and she

675
00:58:39,240 --> 00:58:41,760
Speaker 1: was like, go ahead, so do what you got to do.

676
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:45,480
Speaker 1: She was like going ahead, you know. She her hands

Speaker 1: you want, you know, and we got a chance to

679
00:58:50,760 --> 00:58:54,600
Speaker 1: talk backstage, we took photos. She was like, baby, your

680
00:58:54,640 --> 00:58:57,120
Speaker 1: eyes are tired of you, okay, And I mean it's

681
00:58:57,160 --> 00:58:59,880
Speaker 1: just for me. It was the beginning of a friendship

682
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:03,440
Speaker 1: and a connection that I never thought would ever come

683
00:59:03,520 --> 00:59:06,640
Speaker 1: my way. I mean, I've been listening to her because

684
00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:09,160
Speaker 1: I was born. I know pretty much every song. So

685
00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:12,440
Speaker 1: it's three days ago when everyone got news about you

686
00:59:12,520 --> 00:59:15,360
Speaker 1: know that that she was. She was kind of in

687
00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:18,200
Speaker 1: a critical state. You know. All I did was player

688
00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:21,560
Speaker 1: records over and over again, each prayer, for every meal.

689
00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:26,000
Speaker 1: She was always there and you know, to wake up today.

690
00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:30,680
Speaker 1: It's crazy because I really I actually have her phone

691
00:59:30,760 --> 00:59:33,600
Speaker 1: number frames when she gave it to me. You know,

692
00:59:33,720 --> 00:59:36,440
Speaker 1: she wrote re Re, which was definitely was her nickname,

693
00:59:36,720 --> 00:59:38,920
Speaker 1: and it's hanging about. The first black and white photo

694
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:42,520
Speaker 1: I've ever gotten. I was gifted by my manager and

695
00:59:42,640 --> 00:59:46,080
Speaker 1: best friend, John D. Was the grandson of John D. Hammond,

696
00:59:46,120 --> 00:59:49,440
Speaker 1: who signed her to Columbia and also signed Billie Holiday.

697
00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:52,439
Speaker 1: So that's like the first piece of art I've ever had,

698
00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:57,120
Speaker 1: photographic that's on a frame. Everything. It's in the studio.

699
00:59:57,760 --> 00:59:59,400
Speaker 1: And when I got the news, I walked in and

700
00:59:59,480 --> 01:00:02,480
Speaker 1: up in at that photo. Right next to that photo

701
01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:05,040
Speaker 1: was her signature and her phone number, you know, and

702
01:00:05,080 --> 01:00:08,200
Speaker 1: it was like written on a envelope. I'm hard figured

703
01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:10,040
Speaker 1: it out, you know what I mean, Like this is

704
01:00:10,120 --> 01:00:14,040
Speaker 1: like precious thing and it's just you know, the last

705
01:00:14,040 --> 01:00:16,800
Speaker 1: time I saw her was I saw her last performance

706
01:00:16,840 --> 01:00:21,439
Speaker 1: at Elton John's fiftieth anniversary for his Foundation for HIV,

707
01:00:22,360 --> 01:00:25,880
Speaker 1: and I watched him play the piano and sing like

708
01:00:26,600 --> 01:00:29,720
Speaker 1: there would no tomorrow. And who would have known that

709
01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:32,840
Speaker 1: a few months later that that would be the case. So,

710
01:00:34,080 --> 01:00:36,720
Speaker 1: I mean, we all would be so lucky to even

711
01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:40,240
Speaker 1: do one fourth or one twelfth of what she's done

712
01:00:40,320 --> 01:00:43,280
Speaker 1: for the world through her voice and through her music.

713
01:00:43,640 --> 01:00:46,680
Speaker 1: And he was grateful that God gave me the opportunity

714
01:00:46,720 --> 01:00:49,920
Speaker 1: to actually need her and to celebrate her and to

715
01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:52,560
Speaker 1: tell her just just what an impact she has not

716
01:00:52,720 --> 01:00:56,560
Speaker 1: only on me, but on everyone that's her song. Thank

733
01:01:57,480 --> 01:02:01,840
Speaker 1: artists I think that personified night a certain style of

Speaker 1: celebrities and singers love and of course respect the Queen

737
01:02:15,080 --> 01:02:18,479
Speaker 1: of Soul. Here's Smoky Robinson telling us about the first

738
01:02:18,520 --> 01:02:21,680
Speaker 1: time he heard a Wreatha Franklin sing. The first time

739
01:02:21,680 --> 01:02:23,080
Speaker 1: I heard to read the thing. She was probably about

740
01:02:23,120 --> 01:02:24,920
Speaker 1: six years old. Her brother, Cecil, was one of my

741
01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:27,280
Speaker 1: closest friends, and he had taken me to their house

742
01:02:27,440 --> 01:02:29,440
Speaker 1: for the first time when they moved into the neighborhood.

743
01:02:29,560 --> 01:02:31,200
Speaker 1: We go in and I hear somebody in the next

744
01:02:31,280 --> 01:02:34,000
Speaker 1: room playing the piano and singing. And I know it's

745
01:02:34,080 --> 01:02:35,960
Speaker 1: a kid singing because I can tell by the way

746
01:02:36,040 --> 01:02:38,600
Speaker 1: the boy sounds. But the kid is singing, singing, And

747
01:02:38,720 --> 01:02:40,320
Speaker 1: I go in there and its Areatha. She's playing the

748
01:02:40,320 --> 01:02:42,440
Speaker 1: piano and singing. And the only difference in what she

749
01:02:42,600 --> 01:02:44,600
Speaker 1: was doing and what she does know is that she

750
01:02:44,760 --> 01:02:48,840
Speaker 1: was smaller. That's it. Also country music star Faith Hill

751
01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:51,440
Speaker 1: love the Queen of Soul. A couple of years later,

752
01:02:51,520 --> 01:02:54,000
Speaker 1: back at the Grammys, just came off of my performance.

753
01:02:54,040 --> 01:02:56,480
Speaker 1: I'm in my dressing room changing and my tour manager

754
01:02:56,600 --> 01:02:58,160
Speaker 1: comes in. He goes, hey, come to the door and

755
01:02:58,160 --> 01:03:00,440
Speaker 1: there's somebody I want you to meet, and she standing

756
01:03:00,480 --> 01:03:04,200
Speaker 1: there at the door. I started crying. I couldn't stop

757
01:03:04,280 --> 01:03:09,040
Speaker 1: touching her. It was the weird she was talking to

758
01:03:09,160 --> 01:03:11,160
Speaker 1: me as if she were my child I was. I

759
01:03:11,280 --> 01:03:13,600
Speaker 1: was just rubbing her face, and I was rubbing her shoulder,

760
01:03:15,880 --> 01:03:19,480
Speaker 1: and I was crying, and it was totally out of control. Um.

761
01:03:19,600 --> 01:03:22,800
Speaker 1: Here's Shaka Khan on Aretha Franklin. Take a listen. If

762
01:03:22,840 --> 01:03:25,080
Speaker 1: it weren't for Aretha, none of us should be happening,

763
01:03:25,160 --> 01:03:26,720
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. In a way, she liberated

764
01:03:26,760 --> 01:03:30,640
Speaker 1: black women to speak their minds. Donnie McClerkin loved the

765
01:03:30,800 --> 01:03:34,440
Speaker 1: Queen of Soul. He talked about the Aretha Franklin's influence

766
01:03:34,520 --> 01:03:37,360
Speaker 1: on the church. I feel that soul music, or so

767
01:03:37,720 --> 01:03:41,200
Speaker 1: artists like Aretha Franklin and Donnie Hathaway to be in

768
01:03:41,360 --> 01:03:44,600
Speaker 1: particular the reason why there's music sounded the way it

769
01:03:44,800 --> 01:03:47,480
Speaker 1: is because of that influence. I believe that's really all

770
01:03:47,560 --> 01:03:49,680
Speaker 1: that I am. It's really all that I know. My

771
01:03:49,800 --> 01:03:53,240
Speaker 1: adult life kind of is the paint, you know, the

772
01:03:53,320 --> 01:03:56,480
Speaker 1: finishing touches, But most of the house and the foundation

773
01:03:56,640 --> 01:04:00,200
Speaker 1: is is church period. Now here's something unlikely legendary group

774
01:04:00,320 --> 01:04:05,160

776
01:04:09,680 --> 01:04:12,439
Speaker 1: of all times. It's one of the greatest of all time.

01:04:16,640 --> 01:04:19,120
Speaker 1: can get. She's got a great set of pipes. There's

779
01:04:19,120 --> 01:04:21,000

01:14:12,640 --> 01:14:16,280

851
01:14:16,360 --> 01:14:21,920
Speaker 1: know you know who I am, and I am overwhelmed

852
01:14:22,080 --> 01:14:25,679
Speaker 1: number one. Um. I've been trying to find the words

853
01:14:25,840 --> 01:14:29,800
Speaker 1: to describe how I feel right now, knowing that we

854
01:14:29,920 --> 01:14:33,920
Speaker 1: won't have the beautiful Miss Areta Franklin with us, uh

855
01:14:34,040 --> 01:14:39,000
Speaker 1: any longer. To me, she was a great mentor. She

856
01:14:39,439 --> 01:14:42,640
Speaker 1: taught me so many things about the business, what to do,

857
01:14:42,880 --> 01:14:45,640
Speaker 1: what not to do, and she was one of the

858
01:14:45,720 --> 01:14:48,880
Speaker 1: most giving women I know. You know, she always would

859
01:14:48,920 --> 01:14:51,800
Speaker 1: send flowers just on g P. You know, I told

860
01:14:52,080 --> 01:14:55,519
Speaker 1: somebody that already. You know, you get home from a

861
01:14:55,640 --> 01:14:58,519
Speaker 1: trip or whatever, and you see these beautiful flowers, and

862
01:14:58,600 --> 01:15:01,360
Speaker 1: you know it has to be from one of two people,

863
01:15:01,479 --> 01:15:05,400
Speaker 1: Tyler Perry or read the Franklin. And you know, she

864
01:15:05,640 --> 01:15:10,000
Speaker 1: was just to me, she's just the epitome of a queen.

865
01:15:10,400 --> 01:15:12,280
Speaker 1: And that is why she's called the Queen of soul.

866
01:15:12,360 --> 01:15:13,880
Speaker 1: And I know you have a whole lot more people

867
01:15:13,960 --> 01:15:18,880
Speaker 1: to talk to, but she embodied to me the excellence

868
01:15:19,000 --> 01:15:23,080
Speaker 1: of combining all music genres. She could sing gospel, she

869
01:15:23,120 --> 01:15:25,080
Speaker 1: could sing R and B, she could sing pop, she

870
01:15:25,160 --> 01:15:28,519
Speaker 1: can sing opera, country and western, you name it, she

871
01:15:28,680 --> 01:15:31,120
Speaker 1: could do it. And so we're really gonna miss her.

872
01:15:31,680 --> 01:15:34,000
Speaker 1: I loved her so much, still love her. We've been

873
01:15:34,040 --> 01:15:36,599
Speaker 1: praying for the family, been in touch with the family,

874
01:15:36,840 --> 01:15:39,400
Speaker 1: and uh it's pretty hard on them right now, So

01:15:39,600 --> 01:15:42,360

973
01:27:31,920 --> 01:27:34,280
Speaker 1: I was at one of the last performances that she

974
01:27:34,439 --> 01:27:37,280
Speaker 1: did at the Kennedy Center Islands. I was there honoring

975
01:27:37,520 --> 01:27:39,400
Speaker 1: Rich Franklin. I was sitting up in the balcony with

976
01:27:39,560 --> 01:27:42,600
Speaker 1: Barack Obama and Michelle, and he turned to me and

977
01:27:42,680 --> 01:27:46,160
Speaker 1: he after she finishing in Natural Woman and bringing the

978
01:27:46,200 --> 01:27:48,720
Speaker 1: house down, he turns to me and said, that's why

979
01:27:48,840 --> 01:27:50,720
Speaker 1: she's the Queen of soul. And I never forgot that

980
01:27:51,280 --> 01:27:53,040
Speaker 1: and the reason she's the Queen of souls because not

981
01:27:53,080 --> 01:27:54,840
Speaker 1: only she had this incredible voice, but she knows that

982
01:27:54,960 --> 01:27:56,800
Speaker 1: she knew how to use it. She knew how to

983
01:27:56,920 --> 01:27:59,599
Speaker 1: use it to make us feel good, to have us

984
01:27:59,720 --> 01:28:01,960
Speaker 1: make abies, to take us to church. I mean, she

985
01:28:02,520 --> 01:28:07,360
Speaker 1: sung us through assassinations and celebration. So Areta is gonna

986
01:28:07,400 --> 01:28:10,640

988
01:28:16,120 --> 01:28:19,639

01:28:19,760 --> 01:28:21,920
Speaker 1: is headed now, man, but but I'm glad they left

990

Speaker 1: us with such incredible uh direction, and then such an

991
01:28:25,720 --> 01:28:29,200
Speaker 1: incredible blueprint on what and how to do. And I'm

992
01:28:29,240 --> 01:28:31,360
Speaker 1: just hoping that more thingers take a listen to these

993
01:28:31,520 --> 01:28:34,280
Speaker 1: legends and bring us that kind of music, because that's

994
01:28:34,280 --> 01:28:36,799

1030
01:31:39,160 --> 01:31:43,960
Speaker 1: Greg Matthis the judge, And yeah, I'm saddened to hear

1031
01:31:44,560 --> 01:31:48,280
Speaker 1: the loss of my friend Aretha Franklin. I was just

1032
01:31:48,520 --> 01:31:51,000
Speaker 1: in communication with her a couple of weeks ago, and

1033
01:31:52,040 --> 01:31:55,400
Speaker 1: her spirits were up so much so that she wanted

1034
01:31:55,439 --> 01:31:59,040
Speaker 1: to vacation. And I knew that, you know, she could

1035
01:31:59,120 --> 01:32:02,280
Speaker 1: not do so. And she said, let's go on another trip, Greg,

1036
01:32:02,920 --> 01:32:06,160
Speaker 1: And I said sure, Sis three And of course now

1037
01:32:06,240 --> 01:32:09,280
Speaker 1: we know of her demise, but one of the things

1038
01:32:09,360 --> 01:32:12,920
Speaker 1: that many people did not know about is that she

1039
01:32:13,080 --> 01:32:17,280
Speaker 1: played a significant role and continues to in changing America.

1040
01:32:17,840 --> 01:32:22,000
Speaker 1: Um her father raised her in the civil rights movement.

1041
01:32:22,600 --> 01:32:25,600
Speaker 1: In fact, C. L. Franklin a towering figure in the

1042
01:32:25,680 --> 01:32:29,479
Speaker 1: civil rights movement. In fact, she traveled with Dr King

1043
01:32:30,200 --> 01:32:34,640
Speaker 1: Um or Luther King in concerts that benefited the f

1044
01:32:34,720 --> 01:32:38,120
Speaker 1: e l C and the civil rights movement. Indeed, they

1045
01:32:38,160 --> 01:32:41,560
Speaker 1: did a tour of eleven cities to raise money. And

1046
01:32:42,120 --> 01:32:44,360
Speaker 1: also I was praised to work with her in Detroit

1047
01:32:44,920 --> 01:32:47,960
Speaker 1: and the city we're both from. We've worked in the

1048
01:32:48,040 --> 01:32:52,840
Speaker 1: community there together for some twenty years or more. And

1049
01:32:53,280 --> 01:32:55,719
Speaker 1: she was a great woman, more than just the greatest

1050
01:32:56,120 --> 01:32:59,439
Speaker 1: vocalist of all times, which she was, but she was

1051
01:32:59,520 --> 01:33:02,719
Speaker 1: also dedicated to her community and help change the world

1052
01:33:02,840 --> 01:33:05,760
Speaker 1: with her efforts and civil rights and social justice. And

1053
01:33:05,960 --> 01:33:08,719
Speaker 1: one of the other things that I think people should

1054
01:33:08,760 --> 01:33:13,520
Speaker 1: know is that she was very cultivated and very intelligent

1055
01:33:13,640 --> 01:33:17,280
Speaker 1: and aware of all current affairs. We sit and talk

1056
01:33:17,320 --> 01:33:21,520
Speaker 1: about the political affairs of the day, we would disagree

1057
01:33:21,600 --> 01:33:26,599
Speaker 1: on many of them, uh, And I found it very

1058
01:33:26,680 --> 01:33:30,400
Speaker 1: impressive that she kept up on many of the issues,

1059
01:33:30,600 --> 01:33:34,320
Speaker 1: very few entertainers might be informed on or might seek

1060
01:33:34,640 --> 01:33:39,360
Speaker 1: to involve themselves. As you know, she introduced one of

1061
01:33:39,479 --> 01:33:42,439
Speaker 1: the greatest or She brought to us one of the

1062
01:33:42,520 --> 01:33:49,160
Speaker 1: greatest performances of any White House inauguration. And we've been

1063
01:33:49,280 --> 01:33:51,840
Speaker 1: blessed and will continue to be blessed for years and

1064
01:33:52,720 --> 01:33:56,639
Speaker 1: with that performance and with the symbolism that goes along

1065
01:33:56,720 --> 01:33:59,840
Speaker 1: with that. And she was just a great woman to

1066
01:34:00,000 --> 01:34:03,840
Speaker 1: a vocalists of all times and a great humanitarian who

1067
01:34:03,880 --> 01:34:06,960
Speaker 1: helped change America, Detroit and the rest of the country.

1068
01:34:07,120 --> 01:34:10,400
Speaker 1: All morning long, we are saluting the Queen of soul,

1069
01:34:10,800 --> 01:34:15,040
Speaker 1: Aretha Franklin. A Steve and everybody, This is a Lonnie Love.

1070
01:34:15,240 --> 01:34:18,959
Speaker 1: Y'all know I'm from Detroit, and you know Aretha Franklin.

1071
01:34:19,479 --> 01:34:22,280
Speaker 1: She was our queen. I know she was everybody's queen,

1072
01:34:22,400 --> 01:34:25,400
Speaker 1: but when it came to the city of Detroit, Aretha

1073
01:34:26,040 --> 01:34:30,200
Speaker 1: was Detroit. Um. I can remember my mom's and everybody

1074
01:34:30,360 --> 01:34:34,160
Speaker 1: listening to her. She's always active in the church and

1075
01:34:34,280 --> 01:34:36,679
Speaker 1: her dad's church. We would go to her dad's church,

1076
01:34:36,760 --> 01:34:40,400
Speaker 1: we would hear her singing and she was just the joy. Um.

1077
01:34:40,880 --> 01:34:45,439
Speaker 1: Even though she's gone, we still have her music, especially

1078
01:34:45,560 --> 01:34:48,880
Speaker 1: her gospel music. And that's the influence that I will

1079
01:34:48,960 --> 01:34:51,240
Speaker 1: always have. That's the vision of her that I will

1080
01:34:51,320 --> 01:34:54,479
Speaker 1: always have. And I just want to say I love you, Aretha,

1081
01:34:54,840 --> 01:34:58,320
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for representing Detroit. He made us proud.

1082
01:34:58,720 --> 01:35:02,120
Speaker 1: Thanks guys. All right, coming up our last break of

1083
01:35:02,160 --> 01:35:04,160
Speaker 1: the day, we're going to close out the show. You're

1084
01:35:04,240 --> 01:35:10,800
Speaker 1: listening to the Steve Harvey. Well, Steve, we've called upon

1085
01:35:11,240 --> 01:35:13,960
Speaker 1: the world and the Steve Harvey Nations. And now we

1086
01:35:14,040 --> 01:35:17,719
Speaker 1: have a special guest. She is Detroit and Philly Radio legend,

1087
01:35:18,120 --> 01:35:23,200
Speaker 1: Miss Frankie Darcel. Good morning, Steve, Carla Shirley, Tommy, Good

1088
01:35:23,280 --> 01:35:27,280
Speaker 1: morning Jr. Um Like Steve, Wow, we were just talking

1089
01:35:27,360 --> 01:35:30,360
Speaker 1: about Aretha the other day and and you know, I

1090
01:35:30,439 --> 01:35:33,400
Speaker 1: found it interesting across my mind when you said the

1091
01:35:33,479 --> 01:35:35,640
Speaker 1: other day that God's will will be done. What a

1092
01:35:35,720 --> 01:35:38,120
Speaker 1: legacy we're all gonna make our transition, Steve. You know,

1093
01:35:38,200 --> 01:35:40,240
Speaker 1: we've got a birthdate and a death date and in

1094
01:35:40,400 --> 01:35:43,880
Speaker 1: that middle there there's that dash. What a life to

1095
01:35:44,040 --> 01:35:47,800
Speaker 1: rehash of Aretha Franklin. You know, she could have lived

1096
01:35:48,120 --> 01:35:50,880
Speaker 1: anywhere on the globe, and she chose to continue to

1097
01:35:51,040 --> 01:35:54,080
Speaker 1: live here in the city of Detroit. And of course

1098
01:35:54,680 --> 01:35:58,720
Speaker 1: our hearts are heavy. We pray for her family. Um.

1099
01:35:59,000 --> 01:36:02,280
Speaker 1: And nothing like losing a parent and to lose you know,

1100
01:36:02,400 --> 01:36:05,120
Speaker 1: your mom. So we pray for her children, uh and

1101
01:36:05,240 --> 01:36:07,800
Speaker 1: her family and extended family. She is the queen of soul.

1102
01:36:07,880 --> 01:36:09,800
Speaker 1: But Steve, you know I would share with you as

1103
01:36:09,840 --> 01:36:11,559
Speaker 1: well that not only was she the Queen of soul,

1104
01:36:11,680 --> 01:36:14,639
Speaker 1: but the work that her father C. L. Franklin did

1105
01:36:15,439 --> 01:36:18,120
Speaker 1: on behalf of not only the citizens of the City

1106
01:36:18,160 --> 01:36:20,519
Speaker 1: of truth, Detroit, but around the world and working with

1107
01:36:20,680 --> 01:36:23,360
Speaker 1: Dr King and others, she too was a part of

1108
01:36:23,479 --> 01:36:25,920
Speaker 1: that civil rights movement. Now that we think about her

1109
01:36:26,040 --> 01:36:30,400
Speaker 1: life to rehash, we think about who a Aretha Franklin

1110
01:36:30,640 --> 01:36:33,120
Speaker 1: really was not only the queen of soul. And I

1111
01:36:33,200 --> 01:36:36,000
Speaker 1: said the other day, Um, she's the Queen of soul

1112
01:36:36,080 --> 01:36:39,720
Speaker 1: to the world, but she's also family um uh to us.

1113
01:36:40,160 --> 01:36:42,599
Speaker 1: You know, she will be missed, but she hasn't left

1114
01:36:43,120 --> 01:36:48,880
Speaker 1: just a huge example of what our young artists should be,

1115
01:36:49,640 --> 01:36:52,880
Speaker 1: how they could tap into her greatness um, and of

1116
01:36:53,000 --> 01:36:57,240
Speaker 1: course her her her legacy that she leaves uh here

1117
01:36:57,360 --> 01:36:59,160
Speaker 1: in the city of Detroit. And you know what, Steve,

1118
01:36:59,280 --> 01:37:03,800
Speaker 1: thank you as well. Everybody's talking about her passing, but

1119
01:37:03,960 --> 01:37:07,080
Speaker 1: just the way that you're doing, um what you're doing

1120
01:37:07,360 --> 01:37:11,560
Speaker 1: and celebrating her life, her loves and her legacy. So

1121
01:37:12,120 --> 01:37:14,280
Speaker 1: you know, on behalf of the city. You know, we

1122
01:37:14,439 --> 01:37:17,320
Speaker 1: just thank you for telling the world what they already knew,

1123
01:37:17,600 --> 01:37:21,800
Speaker 1: but reminding them this morning. Tell y'all something about Aretha Franklin. Man,

1124
01:37:22,200 --> 01:37:26,479
Speaker 1: you know, this is a farewell. Missy Elliott says something

1125
01:37:27,200 --> 01:37:30,800
Speaker 1: really smart she was after she sent her prayers up.

1126
01:37:30,840 --> 01:37:34,280
Speaker 1: She said, refer back to my text, and Miss Elliot

1127
01:37:34,360 --> 01:37:37,720
Speaker 1: had text that we've got to take time out to

1128
01:37:37,920 --> 01:37:43,000

Speaker 1: and our fan of hers. And you know we've talked

1131

Speaker 1: many times. And in case you're young and millennial, I

1132
01:37:56,040 --> 01:37:58,000
Speaker 1: don't care, I don't care who you are. You should
