America's Musical Journey

[Available via YouTube and Amazon Prime video.] Morgan Freeman narrates Greg MacGillivray's entertaining, engaging, educational, colorful, insightful, 40-minute, 2018 documentary highlighted by striking cinematography, archival film clips, dance snippets, and musical numbers in which singer/songwriter Aloe Blacc travels to various cities such as Los Angeles, New Orleans, Chicago, New York City, Nashville, Detroit, Memphis, Las Vegas, Seattle, Washington D.C., San Francisco, and Miami to explore the history and diversity of American music from jazz, rock ‘n' roll, country, gospel, blues, reggae, hip-hop, and rap and the contributions and lasting influence to music of iconic singers, including Louis Armstrong, Gloria Estefan, Elvis Presley, Prince, Willie Nelson, and Stevie Wonder; its downfall is trying to cover too much material in too short of time.
