[Intro]
We'd like very much to have Aretha's father just come forward
Reverend C.L. Franklin, let's give him a hand
[Spoken: Reverend Franklin]
Reverend Cleveland and to all of the musicians in this great choir that took me all the way back to the living room at home (Well, Lord, Jesus) When she was six and seven years of age, I saw you crying and I saw you responding, but I was just about to bust wide open. You talking 'bout being moved. Not only because Aretha is my daughter, 'Retha is just a stone singer
[Break]
[Spoken: Reverend Franklin]
Reverend James Cleveland knows about those days, when James came to prepare our choir for a gospel broadcast, which is still in existence, and he and Aretha used to go in the living room and spend hours in there singing different songs. She's influenced greatly by James, if you wanna know the truth, she hasn't ever left the church
