Many of the legends of soul died at an early age, but those who are still alive have been largely ignored since their youth - relegated to oldies shows and budget tours - until now. The Pennebaker team put together a concert of the great soul survivors, reuniting many of the stars under the influential Stax record label, including Wilson Pickett, 'The Iceman' Jerry Butler, former Supreme Mary Wilson, The Chi-Lites, Sam Moore and Carla and Rufus Thomas. The result is a musical celebration of soul, a glimpse into the skewed world of the music industry and a compelling narrative of these seven talented acts who've lived extraordinary lives beyond our expectations. |
