The Night Aretha Came Home to Detroit (1967)

When "Respect" hit number one in the summer of 1967, Aretha Franklin was the most famous singer in America. She came home to Detroit and walked through the same side door of New Bethel Baptist Church she had walked through a hundred times as a child. The congregation that had watched her grow up was waiting. She sat down at the piano. And she didn't know what to do with any of it. 00:00 — She walks through the side door 02:30 — The church that made her 05:30 — Six years at Columbia and what they cost 08:00 — The year everything changed 10:30 — Coming home 13:30 — What the congregation gave her back #ArethaFranklin #Detroit #ArethaFranklin1967 #NewBethelBaptistChurch #QueenOfSoul #ArethaFranklinDocumentary #SoulMusicHistory #ArethaFranklinLive #ClassicRnB #ArethaFranklinUntoldStory
