Stunning!
An honest and insightful glimpse into the life and art of a truly innovative musician. The most creatively edited documentary I've ever seen. It's like audio-visual jazz. Like a great record, I want to watch it again as soon as it's over.
Surviving The Ghetto
Due to "fate," plus the inspiration and/or sporatic-goodness of others, Quincy chose the right path...that is, he "walked" a musical route which countermanded his environmental-albatross. His great accomplishments, humbleness, and, compassion are "beacons of light."
