I hope they do get to complete this documentary. I've never even come across one snippet of a video of Ms. Davis performing. Ever. "Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything." --Plato

If you look at the movie trailer it looks like they have teasers of Betty performing with a mic in color... "Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything." --Plato

It's just amazing how obscure and mysterious Betty was.I even asked my parents if they remembered hearing about her in the 70s and they had no clue what I was talking about. | |

There is footage and great music, but the filmmakers do not own it and raising money, partially, to license that material. |
