The Photo Stayed on His Wall for 40 Years. Here's Why.

James ran a barbershop in east Detroit for forty-two years. On the wall between the window and the door, there was a photograph of Aretha Franklin — a press photo, black and white, framed simply. One day a customer asked him to take it down. James didn't say anything. He finished the cut. He kept the photograph on the wall. He had never told anyone why it was there in the first place. 00:00 — The man asks James to take it down 02:30 — The barbershop on the east side 05:00 — Why the photograph went up in 1969 08:00 — Forty years of customers under that photograph 10:30 — Henry asks the right question 13:00 — The story of the hospital waiting room, 1968 #ArethaFranklin #ArethaFranklinDocumentary #QueenOfSoul #SoulMusicHistory #ClassicRnB #ArethaFranklinUntoldStory #OldSchoolRnB #DetroitMusic #SoulMusicDocumentary #ArethaFranklinFans
