Elvis E One of the greatest rock vocalist ever... a must see Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/29/23 Full Review Valerie S I thought the documentary/ movie was insightful and well done. I've followed John Waite and The Babys since the late 1970s, and, as a fan, appreciated the historical context and stories of John's life and perspectives. Any individual interested in rock and roll should definitely see this movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review brian s Great insight into the music business and how it impacts artists. In addition it was a great background into one of Rock's greatest voices - John Waite! What an artistically driven and talented human. Loved this movie! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review jef s An outstanding documentary. I've been a fan of the Babys and John Waite for more years than I care to admit (the the Broken Heart tour at the American Theater in St. Louis)! Great insight into John's career and musical journey. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review john d A really great look into the mind of someone whose experienced all aspects of the music business. The ups and downs and comes out on top and does it on his own terms. One of the great voices in rock and roll. A rebel with a cause. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
