À propos de ce film

This acclaimed music documentary follows six recording artists on the verge of their next moment in the spotlight. They've sung back-up up for Elvis Presley, Aretha Franklin, Dionne Warwick and Jimi Hendrix, been homeless while their songs were on the charts, struggled to fill tiny cabarets and fight against the odds of the music industry -- all while holding tight to their dreams. With a hot soundtrack of extraordinary music, This Time takes you from the streets of South Central Los Angeles to New York's Park Avenue on a unique musical journey in this uplifting story of the transformative power of creativity. Starring the legendary recording artists The Sweet Inspirations (best known as back-up singers for Elvis Presley, Aretha Franklin and Dusty Springfield), New York cabaret sensation Bobby Belfry, soul diva Pat Hodges (Hodges, James & Smith) and composer-producer Peitor Angell. As they battle self-sabotage and the brutality of the music industry, THIS TIME celebrates their widely ranging gifts and experiences in this inspiring story of hope, persistence and faith. Also featuring original Sweet Inspiration and gospel music star Cissy Houston.

Notes et avis

I heard a 33rpm Record, of The Sweet Inspirations, before they were hired d by Elvis, as back up singers. If you listen to his music, when they joined him, he gives them that chance at the end of a lyric, to anwser him.
