Before the Music Dies

[Edie Antoinette]

This documentary explores the reason why so few companies currently control the music played on the radio and for sale at retail stores, and whether corporations really have the power to silence musical innovation. Filmmaker Andrew Shapter shows the development of American music, using artists to reveal a current schism in the field, which separates into a homogenous corporate product and into more innovative and distinct work.

Billy Preston always was a little show man. LOL That alone was worth the price of admission (watching him)..lol
