DocumentaryRareyoutube

Outtakes from the documentary film THIS TIME. Myrna Smith of The Sweet Inspirations on her flirtations with Elvis Presley. Watch the full movie: https://youtu.be/7k22dRGNJn8 THIS TIME follows six diverse recording artists on the verge of their next moment in the spotlight. They’ve sung back-up for Elvis Presley, Aretha Franklin and Jimmy Hendrix, been homeless while their songs were on the charts and struggled to fill tiny cabarets while battling self-sabotage and the brutal realities of the music industry. With a soaring soundtrack of extraordinary music, THIS TIME takes you from the streets of South Central Los Angeles to New York’s Park Avenue on a unique and unflinching musical journey about dedication to an art form and the transformative power of creativity. Starring: The Sweet Inspirations, Pat Hodges, Bobby Belfry, Peitor Angell, Cissy Houston. The Sweet Inspirations are Estelle Borwn, Portia Griffin and Myrna Smith. A film by Victor Mignatti Produced by Mark Bower #soulmusic,#souldivas,#divas,#gospelmusic,#musicindustry,#Grammyawards,#onehitwonders,#cabaretmusic,#arethafranklin,#Elvispresley,#dionnewarwick,#LGTBQ
