“Amazing Grace” Documentary of Aretha Franklin’s Live Recording

Co-directed by Alan Elliott and the late Sydney Pollack, Amazing Grace documents Aretha Franklin’s live recording of her “Amazing Grace” album. Presenting Franklin with the choir at the New Bethel Baptist Church in Watts, Los Angeles on January 1972, she arrived, sang her heart out, and brought the house down to its knees.

The movie trailer shows a young and impressionable Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones. Other notables are in the crowd as well. You need to pay attention to who is in the church.
