In 1972, Aretha Franklin, the undisputed Queen of Soul, recorded an album of gospel music at The New Temple Missionary Baptist Church in Los Angeles. The result, “Amazing Grace”, went on to become one of the biggest albums of Aretha Franklin’s career and one of her most beloved works. Music lovers won’t want to miss this thrilling film, which is both an extraordinary look at a key moment in American cultural history, and an invaluable record of one of the world’s greatest artists doing what she did best.
