A prizewinning historian pens this biography of C.L. Franklin, the greatest African-American preacher of his generation, father of Aretha, and civil rights pioneer.

First sentence: "Fa-a-ther," intoned the young teenage soloist from the choir stand at St. Peter's Rock Baptist Church one Sunday morning in the late 1920s.
