10th May sees the StudiocanalUK release of #AmazingGrace, the never before seen concert film of Aretha Franklin’s phenomenal performance at the New Temple Missionary Baptist Church in Los Angeles, 1972. Recording the live album of the same name, Franklin delivers a revelatory experience in front of an audience moved to tears and riotous dance in equal measure. Nothing is lost in its transition to film; reviving the archive footage, ‘Amazing Grace’ is a powerful document of one of music’s greatest voices and the rich heritage of gospel in African-American culture. gettyarchive will be celebrating its release thoughout the next week with a takeover from the film’s director, Alan Elliott. 📷: Ron Howard/Redferns/Getty Images | circa 1970 #arethafranklin #redferns #gospel #musichistory #queenofsoul #ladysoul #1970s #archivephoto #photoarchive #gettyarchive
