About this deal
This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:
Good price for a somewhat niche documentary
info added by @wadz
Documentary which depicts the recording of Aretha Franklin's live gospel album 'Amazing Grace' at the New Temple Missionary Baptist Church in Los Angeles in 1972. Filmed over two nights in January, Franklin is joined by Reverend James Cleveland and the Southern California Community Choir, while director Sydney Pollack captures the recording sessions.
In 1972, Aretha Franklin, the undisputed Queen of Soul, recorded an album of gospel music at The New Temple Missionary Baptist Church in Los Angeles, before an ecstatic live audience. The result, "Amazing Grace", went on to become one of the biggest albums of Aretha Franklin's career and one of her most beloved works.
But even as the album gained fans around the world, few realised that the inspirational sessions had not only been recorded, they had been filmed by a camera crew led by Oscar winning filmmaker Sydney Pollack. However, due to technical problems, the film has never been seen. Until now.
Music lovers won't want to miss this thrilling film, which is both an extraordinary look at a key moment in American musical and social history, and an invaluable record of one of America's greatest artists doing what she did best.
