Boy Best Know I'm Excited.

I cannot wait for these two gems to hit a cinema screen. After the disappointment of 'Cadillac Records' earlier this year, it's worth watching for Mos Def as Chuck Berry alone but it didn't even touch on the power and the depth of the music or how ground-breaking it actually was as a label, I am hoping that these are better.

'Am I Black Enough For You' - A documentary on soul legend Billy Paul, it touches on his massive musical influence, the sound of Philly Soul and his relationship with his wife Blanche. 

'Soul Power' - Covering the 1974 "african woodstock", a 3 night long concert on at the same time with Muhammed Ali's famous fight with George Foreman. It features performances and music from James Brown, Bill Withers, Miriam Makeba, BB King, Celia Cruz and many more.

Here's hoping...
