Steve Winwood:  English Soul

Possessing one of England’s most soulful voices, Steve Winwood has been singing hits since he was 15. His legend was forged in the 1960s and early ‘70s with the Spencer Davis Group (Gimme Some Lovin’), Blind Faith (Can’t Find My Way Home), and Traffic (Low Spark of High Heeled Boys), before an MTV-friendly solo career in the 1980s. This outstanding BBC documentary is packed with tons of rarely seen archival footage of Winwood’s early days, particularly the Traffic era, when Winwood and his cohorts took way too many drugs and became the first band to “get their heads together in a country cottage.” Interviews with members of the Grateful Dead, Paul Weller (The Jam), Eric Clapton, and others round out a story anchored by Winwood himself, a fragile survivor at 62 who appears to have finally found his way home in the English countryside.

The One Man Beatles: Something About Emitt Rhodes

DIRECTED BY COSIMO MESSERI
ITALY, 2009, 53 MIN
EAST COAST PREMIERE/2ND US SHOWING

Cosimo Messeri discovered singer/songwriter Emitt Rhodes the same way everyone does. He pulled an old album from a record bin, and it contained the most glorious Beatle-esque pop music imaginable. Who was behind this? Cosimo had to know, so he embarked on an around-the-globe quest to find Rhodes – a teenage L.A. legend in the 1960s, once dubbed America’s Paul McCartney. Burned out, ripped off, and bitter, Rhodes fled the music biz by age 24 and vanished from the culture radar. For more than 30 years, as his songs were being covered by The Bangles (Live) and Richard Thompson (Time Will Show the Wiser), Rhodes remained deeply in the shadows, until Cosimo came knocking and solved one of the greatest “whatever happened to” riddles of pop music.
