  Speaker 1: grew closer mean and congratagen and you know stuff like supplements,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: and I take supplements all the time. Supplements are designed
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: to help you replenish what's been depleted in your body.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: That supplements. Now, now, people, I'm content, hell, you can
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: speak a lot more aggressively and a lot more knowledgeable
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: on this subject. But just giving you a just a
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: brief overview of mind standing up now, if you've been
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: living your life for a while, supplements are necessary for
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: most of us now. Also, if you've been living your
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: life for a while spiritually, you may need some supplements
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: because you've just been at it for a while. You
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: didn't got woll down a little bit, You're tied some
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: people around you ain't changing some people around your draining.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: It's just life just keeps on coming. Life don't ever
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: get no easier. It's just you become more knowledgeable about
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: how to handle it. It does not get any either easier.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: You continue to lose love ones, you continue to have
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: to confront the challenges. It's just that over course of
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: time you become experienced and you can handle them better.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: But life don't get no easier. But spiritually you get
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: a little bit worn down. Well, you need some spiritual
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: supplements too. And I'm just gonna flat out tell you,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: the more God that you can replenish yourself with, the
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: higher the dosage of God that you are willing to
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: put into your spiritual self, the possibilities then become limitless.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: You actually have the ability to make a conscious decision
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: to supplement your body, and you have a conscious decision
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: to supplement your spirit. You can do both. So what
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: I did was, I could just tell you what I did.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: I was taking all these supplements. I started taking supplements
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: when I was about forty five. I think that's when
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: I begin I I was thinking about one day and
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: I just went wild. Man. I started talking to some
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: knowledgeable people. I found out I needed these things. But
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: then spiritually, man, I started supplementing myself too. I started
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: praying some more. I started trying to gain a little
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: bit more knowledge and wisdom and understanding from scriptures and
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: just try to make makes sense of all of it,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: you know, just just make a little bit more sense
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: out of my life, make sure that I was on
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: the right path. A matter of fact, get on the
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: right path, find out my real purpose and my mission
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: in life. And nobody can do that for you. That's
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: something that you have to want to do. But I
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: started supplementing my spiritual side of my life and supplementing
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: my body. Now I happened to be right now about
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: in the best shape I've ever been in. Technically, I
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: can assure you though I am in the best shape
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: spiritually I have ever been in. Now my body has
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: looked better, It really has. I mean, come on now,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: at who I am in life, at the stage with
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: the years I've been walking this earth. Man, I'm cool,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: but spiritually I'm in the best shape I've ever been in.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: And what has done for me, y'all is it gave
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: me a piece and a calmness. You know it used
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: to be, man, I used to fight so hard against
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: people who attack. Now, man, it ain't. It ain't that
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: serious to me because now I have a full understanding
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: that if I come under attack, that God is with me,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: because that's a promise he made. That's Isaiah fifty four seventeen.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: That's that's the that's Any weapon formed against you, any
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: weapon formed against you shall not prosper. You can't. You
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: can't come and get me. It's isn't. I'm not here
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: for you to take down because you didn't put me here.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: So why would I feel a person bringing me down
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: when they're not the reason that I'm here. So when
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: you attack me, you have to be careful because I
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: ain't ever by myself. I formed a relationship with the
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: most High that I can rely on for protection, for coverage,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: and for peace. A lot of times when things used
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: to stress me out, how to run this, how to
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: handle this, how to deal with that? You know, famous
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: rough Man. And then you put that together with some business,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: and you put that together with your family. You got
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: a lot of stuff you're trying to tend to. I
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: have a piece of mind about it now because I
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: have someone who provides me with a sense of understanding
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: and calmness that lets me know that this tool shall pass.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: That it ain't just so saying that. I heard old
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: people say that. It ain't just something my mama used
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: to tell me. It's something that can really happen. Once
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: you get an understanding, this tools your pass. This is
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: just another piece of life that you are now better
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: equipped to handle. I'm telling you what it's done for me.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: A millions of people out there hear me. Man has
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: done the same thing for them. I'm I'm I'm telling
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: it new to some people, but there's some people that
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: show enough understand what I'm saying. And then if you
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: if you have known this but kind of forgot it,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: it's time for some supplements. So when you get like that,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: and and now you find yourself in a situation with
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: a disease or something. You gotta do something. Nah, you
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: gotta start juicing all your greens. You gotta start detoxing
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: your body. You gotta start purifying the system. See, the
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: human body has always had a way to repair itself
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: if you just give it a chance. Your mind has
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: always had a chance to repair itself if you give
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: it a chance. And your spirit always has a chance
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: to repair itself if you give it a chance. It's
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: the only way I can maintain at this level, and
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: it's the only way I have any chance of going further.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: I have to increase my dosage or spiritual supplements. I
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: gotta talk to God a little bit more. I got
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: to pray a little bit more. I got to understand
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: his word a little bit more. That's all I'm telling you. Man,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: If you do that, if you just pray more, if
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: you just studied a little bit more, Man, just try
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: to get an understand and ask him to help you understand.

  Speaker 1: we've lost the queen. Um any singer that experienced Theresa
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: Franklin owes her gratitude because she's opened up so many doors,
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: and it's done so much, so much work for humanity
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: and civil rights. And I've always looked up to her,

  Speaker 1: and I just want to, you know, tell you that
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: when she turned fifty, she I was. She flew me
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: to Detroit with my me and my entire band to
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: perform at her fifties birthday party. And over the years
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: we've stayed in touch. And I went through a period where,
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: you know, I just felt down and didn't want to
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: sing anymore, and she tracked. She contacted me, and um,
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: told me that. She said, I've been thinking about you.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: She said, we're auditionally from my life story, and she said,

  Speaker 1: story I want to tell you. I was just I
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: was in Detroit during the show a couple of years ago,
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: and I had to promote the show at the news
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: station down there, and she called down to the news
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: station after she saw me perform on the show, and
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: everyone thought it was a prank call, and they said,
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: someone saying there with the Franklin, but we're not not
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: sure if this is really her. And I said, well,
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: I do know her, so it could possibly be her.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: So I got on the phone and it was Miss Franklin,
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: and she told me again. She said, I didn't think
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: I didn't forget about you were still doing my Life
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: Story and she said I would love you to play
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: my sister. And I don't know if that's going to
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: manifest or not, but just to hear her say those
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: words to me and just she was always so encouraging
• 29:52

  Speaker 1: to former Vice President Joe Biden, who spoke as he
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: held back the tears. Disease. It's John's life took our
• 35:02

  Speaker 1: and three years ago it took my beautiful son BoA's life.

  Speaker 1: playing of the national anthem. Is well that an arbiter
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: to a judge, rather that that is going to court.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: That's that merits a trial. Uh, the NFL tried to

  Speaker 1: voice is um. Former President Obama stated in his message
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: about her, I've been following her for a while. I
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: got to meet her at the Borgata. She came to
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: see me perform. Almost lost my mind. I couldn't believe
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: that in the audience and she was she was like
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: four rows. And I actually said in the audience, I
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: mean I want to get really ex rated, guys, but
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: you know, miss Franklin to the audience and she was like,
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: go ahead, so do what you have to do. She
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: was like going ahead, you know. She her hands were
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: up and she was like the thing, say what you want,
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: you know, and we got a chance to talk backstage,
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: we took photos. She was like, baby, your eyes are tired,
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: are you okay? And I mean it's just for me.
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: It was the beginning of a friendship and a connection
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: that I never thought would ever come my way. I mean,
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I've been listening to her because I
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: was born. I know pretty much every song. So it
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: three days ago when everyone got news about you know
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: that she was. She was kind of in a critical state.
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: You know. All I did was player records over and
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: over again, prayer for every meal. She was always there,
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: um and you know, to wake up today. It's crazy
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: because I really I actually have her phone number frame
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: when she gave it to me, you know, she wrote
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: re Re which was definitely was her nickname, and it hanging.
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: But the first black and white photo I've ever gotten,
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: I was gifted by my manager and best friend. John D.
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: Was the grandson of John D. Hammond, who signed her
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: to Columbia and also signed Billie Holiday. So that's like
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: the first piece of art I've ever had, photographic that's
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: on and frame. Everything is in the studio And when
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: I got the news, I walked in and up looking
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: at that photo. Right next to that photo was her
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: signature and her phone number, you know, and it was
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: like written on an envelope. I'm hard figured it out,
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like this is like precious
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: thing and it's just you know, the last time I
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: saw her was I saw her last before him as
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: at Elton John's fiftieth anniversary for his foundation trade I
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: V and I watched him play the piano and sing
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: like there was no tomorrow. And h who would have
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: known that a few months later that that would be
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: the case. So, I mean, we all would be so
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: lucky to even do one fourth or one twelfth of
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: what she's done for for the world through her voice
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: and through her music. And He's great for that God
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: game in the opportunity to actually need her and to
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: celebrate her and to tell her just just what an
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: impact she had not only on me, but on everyone
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: that's her. Thank you for letting me call in today
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: to be part of this tribute to her. And you know,
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: of course you know Steve Harvey and when he's a
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: mass and done to keep the tradition of film music
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: going and the encouragement and self esteem is all people
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: that he always brings. It's just great to to get
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: a chance to not only contect with him about her
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: through him. You know. So thank you guys for having me,
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: and I'm wishing that, you know, we keep her alive.
• 44:11

• 49:02
  Speaker 1: really great one. Give us your thoughts, Revenew good Martin Steve.
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: I wanted to share with you as we all celebrate
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: the life of Areta Franklin. That UH a reason. Franklin
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: was not only the ultimate UH singer and vocalist of
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: all times, she was a real civil rights activist. She
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: used to tell me about how her father, Reverend Cel Franklin,
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: was the partners with Dr King and Martin Luther King
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: Marks in Detroit and first did I have a dream
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: speech in Detroit in Junior nineteen sixty three before going
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: to Washington doing it at the nineteen sixty three March
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: on Washington, and she telled me ramal and sixty seven
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: Dr Team. Last year he couldn't make payroll a lot
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: because a lot of donors had stopped giving money to
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: his organization because he had come out of gainst the
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: war Vietnam. And I went on the road and did
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: eleven cities with Harry Bella Frante to raise money to
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: cover Dr King's payroll when I was a young aunt,
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: and then from there all the way through her career.
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: He was the Freemandela movement. Stevie wanted to give him
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: the Dr King Holiday. She would always meant a present.
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: And then when I started becoming known, she knew me
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: when I was a boy preacher. She was about thirteen
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: fourteen years old of me, but her father's come preach
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: at the church. So as I grew she said, you know,
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: I know who you are and I'm gonna help you.
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: And she would she come to my event. She would
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: send us checks. I remember one time she uh sent
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: me a check to Nashanks Network and I saw a
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: few months later, I said, you know, miss Franklin, I
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: was so taken aback. Then you're sending the check out
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: framed it. She's a boy. You better put there in
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: the bank for I move all the money at that account.
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: She said, you have he a copy of the check
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: frame the copy I mean. She was like that. But
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: her legacy was that she never was disconnected from her community.
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: She was never one that lost her authenticity. No starting
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: made her too big for her not to stay grounded.
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: You could be the tallest tree in the music forest
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: as long as you were connected to your roots, that
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: besides your height. And I learned that from her. She'd
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: liked the cook. She laughed and talked. I would always
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: go to a birthday part. She was all the way
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: real and regal at the same time. She was real
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: and she was regal, and she appreciated people that never
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: forgot their roots and would take a stand when she
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: has Sel Franklin's daughter took a stand and started singing
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: R and B. Some of the critipos criticized then in
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: the Rhythm and Blues where they criticized because she'd always
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: put a Gopfel song in her show. She never uh
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: in any way waver. She had this internal strength that
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: she would do things because she felt it was right.
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: So we've lost the greatest female vocals of all time,
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: but also a great freedom fighter. And I've lost a
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: dear friend. The world will never have another Aretha Franklin.
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: And I know she stood for what's right. And let
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: me say that, Steve, there's a lot of that in you.
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: That's why I wanted to call you this morning, because
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: sometimes you gotta have people that are standing for something
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: rather than fall for anything. I thank you God, bless
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: your Queen, the soul and the entire Franklin family. Since
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: festival I'm hosting, and I brought my mamaca. My mama,

• 53:01
  Speaker 1: I said, what are you doing? Mr? Read Frankler came
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: out there with this gigantic purse with her money and

  Speaker 1: checking in. Good morning. You're Landa Hey, brother Steve. I
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 1: am overwhelmed, number one. Um. I've been trying to find
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 1: the words to describe how I feel right now, knowing
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: that at we won't have the beautiful Miss Areta Franklin
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 1: with us any longer. To me, she was a great mentor.
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: She taught me so many things about the business, what
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 1: to do, what not to do, and she was one
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 1: of the most giving women I know. You know, she
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 1: always would send flowers just on g P. You know
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: I told somebody that already. You know, you get home
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 1: from a trip or whatever, and you see these beautiful flowers,
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: and you know it has to be from one of
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 1: two people, Tyler Perry or Area Franklin. And you know
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 1: she was just to me, to just the epitome of
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 1: a queen. And that is why she's called the Queen
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 1: of soul. And I know you have a whole lot
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: more people to talk to, but she embodied the excellence
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 1: of combining all music genres. She could sing gospell, she
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: could sing R and B, she could sing pop, she
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 1: can sing opera, country and Western, you name it, she
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 1: could do it. And so we're really gonna miss her.
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 1: I loved her so much, still love her. We've been
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 1: praying for the family, been in touch with the family,
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 1: and uh it's pretty hard on them right now. So

• 1:27:10
  Speaker 1: of your thoughts. Man, Good morning, Steve. Yeah, man, um
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 1: Aretha was a big influence on my music. H just
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 1: her delivery and the passion she had. I remember one
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 1: time I was supposed to have done a tribute to her,
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 1: singing her song, and she requested that not only I sing,
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 1: but that I sing my own music. She wanted me
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 1: to sing Charlene and Can't Let Go, and I was like, wow, here,
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 1: it is a tribute for her, but she understands the
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 1: importance of an artists being an artists and delivering their
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 1: own songs. So it was really touching to know that
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 1: she wanted that. And uh, you know, back when I
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 1: was like really young, about seven and eight, I'm so
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 1: used to hearing just gospel, and you know, my family
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: was playing this music that felt like gospel. But I
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 1: heard the lyrics You make me feel like a natural woman,
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 1: and I was blown away. I was just like, how
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 1: could it not be godful if it makes me feel
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 1: like that? And from then on, I was just really
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 1: drawn to learn more, to feel more, and they experience
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 1: more of that sound and a Wretha had it consistently.
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 1: It's a big miss, but that can see a live
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 1: on through my kids. You know, I'll play her and
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 1: just her legacy, the legendary Aretha Franklin will always be around.
• 1:28:22

• 1:29:04
  Speaker 1: better occasion, but you know, just celebrating Areta. I gotta
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 1: tell you, I was at one of the last performances
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 1: that she did at the Kennedy Center Islands. I was
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 1: there honoring Rita Franklin. I was sitting up in the
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 1: balcony with Barack Obama and Michelle, and he turned to
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 1: me and he after she finishing Natural Woman and bringing
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 1: the house down, he turned to me and said, that's
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 1: why she's the Queen of soul. And I never forgot
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 1: that and the reason she's the Queen of souls because
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 1: not only she had this incredible voice, but she knows
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 1: that she knew how to use it. She knew how
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 1: to use it to make us feel good, to let
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 1: me have us make babies, to take us the church.
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, she sung us through assassinations and celebrations. So
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 1: Areta is going to be missed, man. And I posted
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 1: this thing yesterday. Uh, the Prince, the Princess, the King,
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 1: and the Queen, Prince, Whitney, Michael, and Areta all gone.
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 1: So I don't know where music is headed now, man,
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 1: but but I'm glad they left us with such incredible
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 1: direction and such an incredible blueprint on what and how
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 1: to do. And I'm just hoping that more singers take
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 1: a listen to these legends and bring us to that
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 1: kind of music, because that's what we missed. So God
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 1: bless her in her family. I want to thank her
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 1: for being a close friend to me and just every
• 1:30:15

  Speaker 1: got Detroit's on Judge Greg mathis, he's been my friend.
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 1: This is my due Later the Judge and Areta used
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 1: to playing family vacations together, Judge get Um, give me
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 1: your thoughts. Yeah, I'm sad the loss of my friend
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 1: Aretha Franklin. I was just in communication with her. Her
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 1: spirits were up so much so that she wanted to
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 1: vacation and I knew that, you know, she could not
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 1: do so. And she said, let's go on another trip, Greg,
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 1: and I said, sure, the three And of course we know.
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 1: But one of the things that many people did not
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 1: know about is that she played a significant role and
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 1: continues to in changing America. Um her father raised her
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 1: in the civil rights movement. In fact, C. L. Franklin
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 1: a towering figure in the civil rights movement. In fact,
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 1: she traveled with Dr King um Ar Luther King in
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 1: concerts that benefited the f E. L C And the
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 1: Silver Ice movement. Indeed, they did a tour of eleven
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 1: cities to raise money. And also I was fairly to
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 1: work with her in Detroit and the city. We're both
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 1: from we've worked in the community there together for some
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 1: twenty years or more. And she was a great woman
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 1: more than just the greatest vocalists of all times, which
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 1: she was, but she was also dedicated to her community
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 1: and helped change the world with her efforts and civil
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 1: rights and social justice. And one of the other things
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 1: that I think people should know is that she was
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 1: very cultivated and very intelligent and aware of all current affairs.
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 1: We sit and talk about the political affairs of the day,
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 1: we would disagree on many of them, uh, And I
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 1: found it very impressive that she kept up on many
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 1: of the issues very few entertainers might be informed on
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 1: or might seek to involve themselves. As you know, she
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 1: introduced one of the greatest or she brought to us
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 1: one of the greatest performances of any White House inauguration.
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 1: And we've been blessed and will continue to be blessed
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 1: for years and with that performance and with the symbolism
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 1: that goes along with that. And she was just a
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 1: great woman, the greatest vocalists of all times, and a
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 1: great humanitarian who helped change America. Detroit and the rest
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 1: of the country. All morning long, we are saluting the
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 1: Queen of soul, Aretha Franklin A Speed and everybody. This
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 1: is Lonnie Love. Y'all know I'm from Detroit, and you
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 1: know Aretha Franklin. She was our queen. I know she
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 1: was everybody's queen, but when it came to the city
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 1: of Detroit, Aretha was Detroit. Um. I remember my mom's
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 1: and everybody listening to her. She was always active in
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 1: the church and her dad's church. We would go to
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 1: her dad her would hear her seeing and she was
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 1: just a joy. Um. Even though she's gone, we still
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 1: have her music, especially her gospel music. And that's the
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 1: influence that I will always have. That's the vision of
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 1: her that I will always have. And I just want
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 1: to say I love you, Aresa. Thank you so much
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 1: for representing Detroit. You made us wow. Thanks guys. All right,

• 1:36:38
  Speaker 1: and Philly radio legend, Miss Frankie Darcel. Good Morning, Steve,
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 1: Carla Shirley, Temmy good morning Jr. Um Like, Steve, Wow,
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 1: we were just talking about Aresa the other day and
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 1: and you know I found it interesting. You crossed my
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 1: mind when you said the other day that God's will
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 1: will be done. What a legacy we're all gonna make
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 1: our transition, Steve. You know, we've got a birthdate and
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 1: a death date and in that middle there there is
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 1: that dash. What a life to rehash of Aretha Franklin.
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 1: You know, she could have lived anywhere on the globe,
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 1: and she chose to continue to live here in the
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 1: city of Detroit. And of course our hearts are heavy.
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 1: We pray for her family, um. And nothing like losing
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 1: a parent and to lose you know, your mom, So
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 1: we pray for her children, uh and her family and
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 1: extended family. She is the queen of soul. But Steve,
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 1: you know I would share with you as well that
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 1: not only was she the queen of soul, but the
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 1: work that her father C. L. Franklin did on behalf
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 1: of not only the citizens of the City of truth Detroit,
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 1: but around the world and working with Dr King and others,
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 1: she too was a part of that civil rights movement.
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 1: Now that we think about her life to rehash we
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 1: think about who a Wretha Franklin really was not only
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 1: the queen of soul. And I said the other day, Um,
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 1: she's the Queen of soul to the world, but she's
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 1: also family, um to us. You know, she will be missed,
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 1: but she has left just a huge example of what
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 1: our young artists should be, how they could tap into
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 1: her greatness um and of course her her her legacy
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 1: that she leaves uh here in the city of Detroit.
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 1: And you know what, Steve, thank you as well. Everybody's
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 1: talking about her passing, but just the way that you're doing, um,
• 1:38:28
