Am I black enough for you?

In my mind this is one of the absolute best music documentaries in recent years. Swedish filmer Göran Olsson describes the life of legendary soul singer Billy Paul. The documentary discusses everything from his contribution to the movement of the rights for African-Americans in the U.S. to what the song "Am I black enough for you" meant for his career and what impact Philadelphia have had on music in history. The documentary includes interviews with Questlove from the Roots, Kenny Gamble and Billy Paul himself. If you haven´t discovered Billy Paul yet, I suggest you do it now.
