This extraordinary documentary lovingly chronicles the intertwined roads of black music and Hollywood's movie history. From the ragtime tap dancing stars of the black and white era to the soulful jazz singers of the forties and fifties to the superstar singers of the sixties and beyond, black entertainers have captured our hearts and minds. Finally, they are given their dues.
