I’ll have to look that one up.
Some more; “Standing in the Shadow of Motown”, “Muscle Shoals”, “20 Feet from Stardom”, “The Wrecking Crew”, “Super Mensch: The Legend of Shep Gordon”.
I have them all except Super Mench! All excellent viewing.
Shep Gordon was indeed a genuine legend! You'll love it.

Thnx for reminding me! Caught it from 21:20hrs onwards. Gritty. Musically a legend but a bit tough to say the least on the women in his life who appeared to be be all extremely good looking! Making Francis Taylor quit West Side Story along with the violence was particularly nasty. He wouldn't get away with keeping the woman down today and rightly so.

When it comes to Miles I think I'm happier sticking to the music...

Nice one James.
If you guys can find a Sky Arts, 4 part series; “The Art of Drumming”, in my tiny mind the best documentary on the genre, includes interviews and demonstrations from some of the greatest exponents of the humble drum kit. I’ve seen it 4 times now and haven’t tired of it yet. ☝️
