7:03 am
franklin scheduled with depression, alcoholism and she had a weight problem. she was overwhelmed by fear and obsessed with control, the author wrote. franklin would not step on an airplane or ride a bus through thunderstorms out of fear and she worried the public would forget her. ♪ there's a fire burning in my heart ♪ >> reporter: but her fans never did. in recent years, she sang for the pope when he visited the u.s. ♪ and in 2015, she brought president obama to tears during the kennedy center honors, while singing "a natural woman." >> reporter: over the last decade, franklin's health seemed to decline. in an interview with anthony mason for "cbs sunday morning" in 2011, he asked her about it. >> how is your health? >> my health is wonderful, fabulous now. >> people were worried. >> i was worried. >> there was a lot of rumors about what youed ha, what you went through. >> it wasn't anything -- well,
7:04 am
it wasn't -- >> reporter: franklin's last known performance was in november 2017 for elton john's aid foundation fall gala. and like always, the queen of soul delivered. >> franklin was the first woman inducted into the rock 'n' roll hall of fame. she lived most of her life in dry the where she died this morning. it's so interesting, john, because we've been hearing from the beginning of the week that her family had gathered and friends had gathered, she was gravely ill and the end was near. you kept thinking day after day maybe, just maybe. because then you'd hear reports she was alert and talking to people. even when it's expected, it's still feels like a little punch. >> it does. especially somebody who's been so much a part of our culture. her songs are in your head. and the one that's in mind right now is she sang in martin luther
7:05 am
kng king's memorial, "precious lord take my hand" and somebody with that gospel background, that's what she's doing. >> mine will always be "natural woman." i loved that. her last performance, i was there, and she walked out on the stage, people gasped because she had lost a lot of weight. she didn't look well at the time. this was last november. but her voice was certainly still there. with us now on the telephone is journalist alan light who has interviewed aretha franklin a number of times. good morning to you, alan. what are you thinking? >> well, you know, it's hardly a surprise, with obviously -- been waiting since we got word earlier this week but it's still shocking when you hear the reality of losing a giant like this. >> you interviewed her what can you tell us about the time you spent with her? because people would say she had a great sense of humor but people could say she could be a little prickly. >> i can't pretend -- you know,
7:06 am
some calls on the phone where she was in decent spirits and happy to talk about the music. most remarkably to me, i saw her sing last year, half a dozen or shows or so, for a benefit, and she sound eed spectacular. her singing was just magnificent. and, you know, just a reminder of, you know, for everything else and the noise and the rumors and you say the prickliness and everything off stage, she could still deliver something nobody else could do. >> and what was that? i mean, "rolling stone" called her the greatest singer of all time. that's not just somewhere on the list, that's at the very top. >> it's interesting, because i've been talking to people about that. like there are plenty of great singers. and what is it to have people say the greatest singer, you know, this thing that we all pretty much all do, you know, one time or other, to be the
7:07 am
greatest in the world at doing that thing. and i think one thing that's really easy to overlook, you know, we think of great singers as having this, like, superpower, they just have that voice, it's just there, but she worked so hard, there was such musicality. her piano playing, her arranging. the way she approached a lyric. i worked with mary j. blige on that piece, you know, she wrote the thing for "rolling stone" when she was named the greatest singer of all time and mary talked about single words that aretha would sing. the way she could deliver one word that would change your whole understanding of that song and that emotion. i mean, it was really such an incredible power, you know, above and beyond just the voice you happen to be born with. >> and then talk about that one word, "respect." 1967 when she up with the first grammy. that song still lives today and is still relevant today." what is it about that song that became a national anthem for so
7:08 am
many different kinds of people, do you think? >> well, i think, you know, as an anthem for women, as an anthem for the civil rights movement. i mean, this incredible articulation of power and strength and self-respect. you know, we forget, otis redding wrote that song. she found, you know, and asked for respect from his woman. she turned it into respect from the world, you know, for her being a woman. and when he sang it at the monterey pop festival, otis said, you know, this girl took that song away from me. that's hers. that's hers now. >> she said when she sang it, it was a demand for mutual respect in a relationship. hear, hear, hear. >> and, you know, the interplay with her backup singers. the sense of, you know, common cause and, you know, togetherness and that. it wasn't just selfishness. it was about strength. it was about independence, about sharing that. and everybody looking for that. >> at my recollection, is that
7:09 am
she, that's about the time or maybe it is where she went down to mussel schohoals which is no exactly detroit, this swampy place, and emerged with a different sound. she had the ability to play across all kinds of different genres. must have been one of her real talents. >> and really, you know, drawing from her gospel training, never letting that go, no matter what kind of song she was singing. she had rock 'n' roll and pop and jazz singing in her. but the gospel at the heart of that, that was something that was so washed out of a lot of great singers, you know, that they had to -- they had to compromise that to become pop stars. and she compromised nothing. she got to the heart of what it was that she was raised in. and made that -- this, you know, this universal sound, this sound that took over the pop charts on its own terms. >> all right. thank you very much, alan. trey johnson is joining us. he writes about music, race,
7:10 am
politics and culture for "rolling stone." trey, let's talk about aretha franklin's range. you know, she could do gospel, she could do pop, she could do rock 'n' roll. her range was amazing. even opera in some cases. where do you think she got her performance, her confidence as a performer? >> she got a lot of confidence from the church, the community. i think, too, you know, i think a lot of what aretha's power is that she knew how to inhabit a song. she wasn't someone who just kind of phoned it in. she chewed up every line and rooted it out, the experience, made you feel like it was part of her as a person. >> trey, what about her cultural role as -- i mean, we've been talking about her artistry. put her in context in the terms of -- in terms of american music. >> oh, yes. you know, aretha is probably the
7:11 am
greatest voices ever had. i think too it's about that power she had with her voice. ground people in a common sense of humanity, struggle, power. whether it's about love or respect and dignity. i think, too, what's special about aretha, was that, you know, she used her music and she used her platform to also constantly advance and lean into the causes of equal rights and civil rights for her community. i think those things together made her voice not only richer but i think more honest and true for a lot of people. >> yes, she grew up singing in the church choir, in her father's church. vladimir put yeah's beduthiers detroit. can you talk about that, how that influenced her as a singer, as a young girl? >> yes, from my understanding about aretha, a great deal of it was about where she drew her strength from. i think the perspective.
7:12 am
you know, a lot of her songs ar that have been elevated to kind of transcendal status. at the end of the day, she was often tapping into the experiences of families and communities and couples and households she would immerse in every day. she was such an important instrument to local lives. in are play, the story of the black woman who wasn't always given the platform for talking about their love stories and their hardships and what it meant for them to kind of put on a metaphorical hard hat every day and step out in the world every day. >> i like that, trey, nicely done. >> well done. we'll end it there, thanks so much for being with us. coverage of the death of aretha franklin will continue on your local news on this cbs station and on our 24 hour streaming news service cbsn and we'll have a look back at her life tonight on the cbs evening news. >> now, many of you will return
