A legendary film that explores the lives and music of the pioneers of modern Gospel music. One of the most acclaimed music documentaries of all time that features the father of Gospel, Thomas A. Dorsey, a prominent blues pianist in the 1920s who quit show business at decade's end to devote himself to composing now-standard gospel songs (“Precious Lord, Take My Hand”) and its matron, Mother Willie Mae Ford Smith who helped spread Dorsey's songs at churches throughout the country saying this new gospel music sounded too much like the blues. When it was first released in the early 1980s, the film received an overwhelming critical response, garnering rave reviews around the world: “One of the most joyful movies I’ve ever seen.” (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times).
