The Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin sings with the choir at the New Bethel Baptist Church in Watts, Los Angeles in January 1972. A behind-the-scenes documentary about the recording of her best-selling album finally sees the light of day more than four decades after the original footage was shot, by Sidney Pollack. An enthralling and transcendent musical experience that deserves our killer speakers and music-loving community!
