Our take
In 2011, a 62-year-old James Brown tribute act from the Brooklyn projects released his first album on Daptone Records. From homelessness to a spot in Rolling Stone’s best albums of the year, this rousing documentary charts the hopes and dreams of a musical career some five decades in the making.
