Aretha Franklin: Close-Up (1968) | A Must See!

Features tons of candid footage at Atlantic Records recording studios with Jerry Wexler, Tom Dowd and first husband Ted White; being presented an award by Martin Luther King; backup vocal and dance rehearsals with her sisters; appearance at a teen dance show; interview with her father CL Franklin about her gospel roots. This documentary can be found elsewhere on YouTube in full color, however this B&W print has better audio and has been rendered in 720p HD. I do not control the rights.
