"A transformative film experience. History with mystery. Beautiful, inexact, evocative, humorous, wise, wicked. A turning point in film music."

"History of soul music, told in profiles. I read this is as young man really trying to understand what journalism and history meant. Spent a lot of time meditating on Sam and Dave after this one."

"Chapter after chapter reveals the history of recorded music, the developments and trends within that world, and in a language that any reader with a passing interest in music can both understand and be blown away by."

"The best music documentary ever made, period. It is history on film chronicling the end of the sixties. Watch it all fall apart before your eyes."

"Elton, working alongside Bernie Taupin, is one of the most prolific and successful songwriters in music history. This is my favorite of his early recordings. (Honorable mention: “Night and Day” by Joe Jackson.)"
