DramaHistory

A glittering biopic of W.C. Handy, the “Father of the Blues.” Raised in Memphis by a preacher father and Aunt Hagar, he rebels against using his talent only for church, drawn to the music of the streets and laborers. After writing a campaign theme song, speakeasy singer Gogo hires him as accompanist. Years of estrangement follow as he publishes countless blues classics, until Gogo reunites the family in New York, where his work is performed by a symphony orchestra.
