If you liked the Muscle Shoals Documentary... Jerry Wexler Discussion

Just found this video on Youtube... it was a panel discussion that I attended at the Florence (shoals area) library during W.C. Handy week a few years ago... They showed a Jerry Wexler documentary movie which I CAN'T find (if you know where to find it please let me know) that was just as good as the Muscle Shoals movie... and they also had a panel discussion.
This is the panel discussion... I won't bore you telling you about these people, but I will tell you who they are... Donny Fritz, Jerry Wexler's Son, Jimmy Johnson, and David Hood...
If you are interested in Muscle Shoals music, you'll probably find this entertaining.

In the Music Book thread. I mentioned this:
It's a bio of legendary cult figure Bert Berns (1929-1967), writer of "Twist & Shout", "Hang On Sloopy", and "Piece Of My Heart".
Bert Berns with the Atlantic Records braintrust: Jerry Wexler, Berns, Nesuhi Ertegun, Ahmet Ertegun
Bert Berns with Van Morrison at a recording session for Van's album Blowin' Your Mind.

quote:
Here Comes The Night goes into considerable detail about the role of organized crime in the music business, through the career of Berns and his connection to shadowy figures like the notorious Morris Levy of Roulette Records and his associates, Sonny Franzese and the Pagano Brothers of the Genovese mafia family. The book details how Berns got the latter (inadvertently, the author claims) to lean on Jerry Wexler of Atlantic Records so Berns could get out of a contract, a la Johnny Fontane.
