AudienceAudience: 7.8
This documentary examines the legacy and cultural impact of a celebrated American band spanning R&B, funk, jazz, soul, and disco. It draws on exclusive visual, audio, and written archival materials, along with support from the band’s estate and members.
My takeYou’ll likely enjoy this if you appreciate music documentaries such as The Sparks Brothers or Summer of Soul; Not for you if you prefer scripted stories or contemporary pop profiles.
