New “My Music” Pledge Special
Celebrates Classic ’60s & ’70s Soul Featuring Rare Performances of
the Greatest R&B Hits of All Time Plus Aretha Franklin’s Personal
Stories and Handpicked Favorite Songs

PITTSBURGH, July 23 /PRNewswire/ — TJL announced today that PBS will broadcast ARETHA FRANKLIN PRESENTS SOUL REWIND
throughout the August and September pledge periods.  Hosted by the
Queen of Soul herself, the special offers an abundance of long-lost
archival material that has been recovered from film vaults across the United States, England, Germany and France – yielding a treasure trove of precious and vital footage.

Prolific producer TJ Lubinsky’s latest installment of PBS’ popular “My Music”
series represents the culmination of many years of research and
planning that has led to the assemblage of the most comprehensive
collection of rare performances by legendary R&B artists from the
classic 1960s-1970s soul era culled from non-American TV sources in Germany, Japan and the UK.

Highlights include “Respect” by Aretha Franklin, “Stand By Me” by Ben E. King, “When A Man Loves A Woman” by Percy Sledge, “Dancing In The Street” by Martha & The Vandellas, “You Really Got A Hold On Me” by The Miracles, “Knock On Wood” by Eddie Floyd and many others from rare performances seen only overseas – until now.

Notes Lubinsky, “Being
able to see the original artists perform their original hits in their
prime from foreign countries is nothing less than mind-boggling.  What a
thrill it is to return to the roots and soul of American popular music
in the ’60s – and to have these personal memories presented by the
royalty of Aretha Franklin is such a tremendous honor.”

ARETHA FRANKLIN PRESENTS SOUL REWIND premieres July 31 on PBS and airs throughout August and September; check local listings for stations and times.
