Music documentaries are a wonderful thing. While nothing can beat seeing a musician live you can still experience the wonder and the chills that pure talent can bring to the senses, which is exactly what Amazing Grace has done for me from the trailer alone. Directed by Alan Elliott, this music documentary captures one of Aretha Franklin’s most breathtaking performances that has been lost for nearly 50 years, so when will Amazing Grace be out in the UK?
Amazing Gracefirst premiered on Nov. 12 last year at DOC NYC (a documentary festival in the U. S.) before touring the festival circuit before its April 5 release in the U. S. The film will then make its way onto British shores a month later on May 10, so you don’t have long to wait to experience Franklin’s breathtaking performance.
Released in 1972, Amazing Grace was Franklin’s fourth live album and the best-selling of her career, earning her a Grammy for Best Soul Gospel Performance the following year. Amazing Grace saw Franklin go back to her gospel roots, recording the LP at Los Angeles‘ New Temple Baptist Missionary Church, as Rolling Stone reports.
