AMAZING GRACE (2019)
Aretha Franklin
BINGE FOXTEL
In 1972 Aretha Franklin turned her back on the pop charts and returned to her local church to record a live album of the gospel standards that forged her golden talent as a youth. All the places you will be taken to by Franklin's sublimely incendiary performance cannot be found on any map. This is music at its most powerful
AMY (2015)
Amy Winehouse
NETFLIX
The sad soulcrushing and tragically abbreviated life story of Amy Winehouse. At age 17 this uniquely gifted vocalist and songwriter landed a lucrative sixfigure deal without having recorded a single note. A decade later Amy Winehouse was dead. A tough yet touching portrait of someone who got what she wanted as an artist but never got what she needed as a person.
OASIS: SUPERSONIC (2016)
Oasis
DOCPLAY STAN OR RENT
A deliriously enjoyable look at the rapid rise and slo-mo fall of 1990s Britpop superstars Oasis (best known for their classic anthem Wonderwall). Inside a year they went from the occasional pub gig to filling stadiums. Of course hitting those heights without adequate oxygen will mess with the heads of anyone. So those famously feisty Gallagher brothers Noel and Liam were never destined to stay on top for long.
