This is a fair and basically factual recap of Franklin's life and career and packs a lot into 12 minutes. Lots of pictures I have not seen before. I would prefer that the clip had been titled 'The Triumphant Story of Aretha Franklin', though! A good find -

I never knew that Atlantic Records were so disrespectful to her. Their reputation was that they were a Godsend to her after Columbia had stifled her creativeness. But, after seeing the recent CNN documentary on her life and career, I see that Atlantic jacked her around more than Columbia, and she made a LOT of money for them, and she didn't get her share.
There was a CNN documentary?Quote:

No harm, no foul. I was about to start feverishly looking for a CNN project!Quote:
