Shot in Uncle Jessie's Kitchen, an Arlington, Texas studio named after a close friend, Franklin sat at a keyboard surrounded by a talented team of singers and musicians as they performed songs that spanned much of his 30-year career. After kicking things off with the 2019 single "Love Theory," they also performed "Silver and Gold," "Melodies From Heaven," and "I Smile."
