- Quotes
Eric Clapton: Uncle Mac was on the radio on Saturday morning and he would play a variety of music for kids. "How Much Is That Doggie In The Window" - all those kind of novelty things he would play. And then, every now and then, he'd play some different music.
[Muddy Waters' "My Life is Ruined" on the radio]
Eric Clapton: You didn't hear that anywhere else, except on this kiddie's program. And I thought, "Oh, man, this is for me!" I didn't even know that it was black music. I didn't know about black and white being different stuff. But, something about it got me. Something stirred me - without me even being aware of it. It took all the pain away.

So sad that trolls now control the ratings for such a good documentary like this. It seems they are out to get this movie by pretending to be female voters. But as has been noted on the internet many times, any movie praising black or feminine culture will be attacked on this site sadly. Hopefully this will not stop people from going to see this well done documentary as it deserves the praise it's been getting.
