Soul

I'm curious as to why Hollywood hasn't really explored soul musicians as material for biopics. This is Donny Hathaway's version of Lennon's Jealous Guy. Great arrangement and a killer vocal. Amazing talent...only to eventually commit suicide. What a waste of talent. But, how is it that no one has brought his story forward? More info here.



Same thing with James Carr. This is one of the definitive soul songs recorded in the 60s. To be able to sing this song with that kind of feeling, you have to actually mean it. That's probably a story in itself, but he also suffered from bipolar disorder. Just waiting to be written. Some more info here.
