Excellent. Required Viewing if you love Soul Music. submitted by KidBlue on June 15, 2015, 2:23pm This is perhaps the finest documentary ever made about popular music. Soul music of the 1960s was excellent, and this covers the landscape, the people, the race issues and the artists and of this great, great music.

FANTASTIC!!!! submitted by Beth Manuel on July 14, 2015, 7:45pm This was such a great peek into the music, the artists and the back stories of folks who cut records at Muscle Shoals. There was amazing footage of Aretha Franklin, Percy Sledge, Greg Allman, to name a few. I can't recommend this film enough. If you like music, and if you like soul music especially, you don't want to miss this film. Watch it. You won't be sorry.
