    Great Job!

    This movie was a sweet history of the blues. It made me think of more pleasant times in my past. I could only think of a strong heritage, with strong values while watching this movie. It is also a very good educational tool while giving our blues forefathers their propers(recognition). Thanks to Charles Burnett and his cast and crew.
