A Taste of Heaven: The Ecstatic Song & Gospel of Maestro Raymond Anthony Myles poster
NR

Raymond Anthony Myles was the electrifying Gospel Genius of New Orleans. Like a comet shooting across the sky, he was here one minute – brilliant, incandescent and unmistakably unique. And then, just as quickly, he was gone… But Raymond was more than a maverick musician. He was also highly representative of a vital but scorned minority within the Black church: a queer man who struggled with dogma and Scripture that said, "God's love does not apply to you."

Little Richard: King and Queen of Rock 'n' Roll poster
10.0

Little Richard can stake a claim on having invented rock 'n' roll. A black artist who grew up in the segregated south of the United States, Richard Penniman broke down barriers and took 1950s America by storm. The Beatles and The Rolling Stones supported him and drew inspiration from his musicianship and stagecraft. He went on to influence artists as diverse as David Bowie, Elton John, Michael Jackson and Prince. Yet Little Richard spent years feeling his contribution to music had been overlooked in favour of white rock 'n' roll stars like Elvis Presley and Pat Boone. On top of that, the inner conflict between his religious beliefs and the music style he pioneered – as well as his battles with his own sexuality – led him to quit rock 'n' roll not just once, but twice.

The first documentary about bounce, Ya Heard Me, is a bottom-up look at the genre. With much of the footage shot before Hurricane Katrina, Ya Heard Me serves not only as a testament to the city's musical legacy but as a lasting document of a city that will never be the same. As a bittersweet footnote, the film explores the surviving genre as it rebuilds and disperses in the wake of the storm, with displaced residents taking the sound of New Orleans to all corners of the South and beyond.
