DINAH WASHINGTON (Singing): What a difference a day made.
24 little hours Brought the sun and the flowers
where there used to be rain!
My yesterday was blue, dear.
C.L. FRANKLIN: Come on down here and join the party.
Come on.
DINAH WASHINGTON (Singing): Today I'm a part of you, dear.
C.L. FRANKLIN: Ha, ha!
That's my girl.
DINAH WASHINGTON (Singing): My lonely nights
are through, dear.
Since you said, you were mine.
Lord, what a difference a day makes.
There's a rainbow before me.
The skies above can't be stormy.
TED WHITE: And which one of C.L.'s daughters is this?
ARETHA FRANKLIN: I'm Aretha Louise.
TED WHITE: Well, nice to meet you, Aretha.
I'm Ted White.
DINAH WASHINGTON (Singing): It's heaven when
you find romance on your menu.
What a difference a day made, and the difference is you.
[applause, cheering]
DINAH WASHINGTON: Thank you.
I'mma record that one.
TED WHITE: Yeah, you better.
C.L. FRANKLIN: My daughter, Aretha.
BARBARA SIGGERS FRANKLIN: Oh, C.L.,
don't make Ree sing if she doesn't want to.
C.L. FRANKLIN: Ree listens to the radio.
She can hear any song and sing it back note for note.
And tonight, we got a bona fide radio star in our house.
So, so how would you all like to hear a little sing along?
A little call and response?
Hey?
TED WHITE: What, is it like a little parlor
trick or something like that?
BARBARA SIGGERS FRANKLIN: No.
Little Ree's good.
DINAH WASHINGTON (Singing): Did you
say I've got a lot to learn?
ARETHA FRANKLIN (Singing): Did you
say I've got a lot to learn?
[cheering]
DINAH WASHINGTON (Singing): Since this
is the perfect spot to learn,
DINAH AND ARETHA TOGETHER: Teach me tonight.
TED WHITE: Ha ha!
Did you see that?
You got something there.
C.L. FRANKLIN: That's it!
DINAH WASHINGTON: Ree's gonna be the next great one.
C.L. FRANKLIN: Yes she is.
Yes, she is.
