Anyone seen this brilliant film about the Chess record label. It's got Beyonce as Etta James and features tunes by her and others like Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf and Little Walter. I saw it last night and thought how well it was made. That Beyonce sure has some talent other than singing. Wonder if she knows anything about the history of our scene. Who knows she might even do a film about us one day. Well worth a sticky beek. Stay soulful, Tony T BONE. OZ. K.T.F.

Discussed elsewhere.

Also there was a topic on this last week I think, most questions asked about why only one Chess brother was featured.

Not sure it is in the Brilliant class but it was very enjoyable. Also, not really sure that Brodie mush worked as Mr Chess.

Watched it recently a decent movie Beyonce burns the screen up and that Brodie guy could get pickles out of a jar with that nose. ATB Steve
