Sam Cooke Aretha Franklin Debarge Mahalia Jackson Prince Michael Jackson Aretha's would be pretty interesting but only if she's not involved. She has never revealed who the father of her first child is. It was and is still rumored to be her father's child. But I've often thought it's Probably Sam Cooke's baby. | |

Rick James
Marvin Gaye Diana Ross George Clinton/P-Funk Stevie Wonder Michael Jackson (he deserves a proper one, longer-arching one) Prince Maurice White/Earth Wind & Fire Phil Collins George Michael Guns N Roses A mini-series on Weird Al would be kinda cool As far as labels, I'd love to see one on Solar Records. An in-depth documentary on MTV would be much appreciated as well. [Edited 2/22/17 8:25am] | |

Sam Cooke but I do not think his estate will ever allow it. His story would be the most marketable and interesting IMO. From the beginning as a Gospel singer, to crossing over into secular music and that backlash. Thd start up of soul music, to his murder. And even right after withhis widow marrying his protégé Bobby Womack. Drama sells. PRINCE: Always and Forever

Whitney's family didn't like the TV movie on Whitney but they were powerless to stop it. | |

I'd rather have a movie about Genesis than Phil by himself. B.B. King Thomas Dorsey Kraftwerk Tim Maia (I guess this would get made in Brazil, but I can watch subtitled movies) You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

Prince Buster Prince Paul The Fresh Prince The world's problems like climate change can only be solved through strategic long-term thinking, not expediency. In other words all the govts. need sacking!
If you can add value to someone's life then why not. Especially if it colors their days... | |

No, it's been done already--Cate Blanchatt playing Bob Dylan in I'm Not There:

I'm not sure Mary Wilson would sign off on that and probably not Florence Ballard's family either, and I don't think a Diana life story can be done without The Supremes in it. Would Patti LaBelle approve her likeness since Cindy Birdsong came from her group The Bluebells? I doubt Berry Gordy would want his character to appear in a Diana biopic either.

I've never been a Donna fan but I like some of her Classics, respect her place in music History and I feel she deserves all the propers she got before & after her passing....Even though you say her auto-Bio is boring a Great Screenwriter and talented Director can make it come to life on a giant Screen... | |

I suppose they could do a biopic that starts with Diana beginning her solo career in 1970 (if they really had to)
