In January 1972, Aretha Franklin appeared at the New Bethel Baptist Church to record two performances for a live album of gospel songs with an accompanying documentary. The film, for a number of reasons, was never released…until now. Amazing Grace invites film and music fans alike to witness the fervour and emotion Aretha channels – true to form – in this uplifting performance piece that certainly proves to be more than worth the wait. Capturing Franklin’s raw brilliance and prodigious power, Amazing Grace is transcendent in every way.

Teddy Pendergrass

TEDDY PENDERGRASS – IF YOU DON’T KNOW ME
Saturday 22 June 2019 at 7.00pm. Presented by Rhythm & Views Film Festival

‘If You Don’t Know Me’ is the untold and ultimately inspiring story of legendary soul singer Teddy Pendergrass, the man who was poised to become the biggest R&B artist of all time until the tragic accident that changed his life.
Teddy became the first solo male African American artist to record five consecutive platinum albums in the US, but his career was struck by tragedy in 1982 when a car accident left him paralysed at the age of just 31. He later made a triumphant comeback in front of a global audience of 1.9 billion at Live Aid.
This screening will be followed by a Q&A with the Director.

2018 | Dir Olivia Lichtenstein | 106min | UK

Many think of Pendergrass, born 1950 in Philadelphia, as an artist cut down in his prime by a 1982 auto accident. But if that’s all you remember about him, says filmmaker Olivia Lichtenstein, you’re missing the full measure of his inspiring story of persistence, never more evident than in the final years of his life, when he nearly succumbed to depression after the accident that paralyzed him but rallied to regain his voice and his spirit.
Local news coverage about his death in 2010 is here.
