Sounding Out with B.B. King (BBC-TV, 1972)
A short film featuring an interview with King and clips from a recording session for the album B.B. King in London.
The highlight is when King demonstrates the playing techniques of Blind Lemon Jefferson, Lonnie Johnson, Charlie Christian, and Django Rheinhardt.

A lot of good docs listed, and I'll second the call for a one on Nashville's A Team. It would help complete the whole spectrum of the guys behind the curtain.
Maybe the best part of Shoals is how suprised a lot of people might be that a group of white boys from AL were the players & de facto arrangers on so many soul classics.

20 Feet From Stardom is another good one.
It's about backup singers. I think Netflix has it on streaming now.
Won the Oscar for Best Documentary.

Great Documentary.
I live 2 hrs. from there and didn't know any of what went on there.
Mind blowing the talented groups that came through there.

Anyhow, back to sitting on the docs of eBay:
Words and Music by Leiber & Stoller
quote:
Jerry Leiber (April 25, 1933 – August 22, 2011) and Mike Stoller (born March 13, 1933) were American songwriting and record producing partners. Stoller was the composer and Leiber the lyricist.
Leiber and Stoller's initial successes were as the writers of such crossover hit songs as "Hound Dog" and "Kansas City". Later in the 1950s, particularly through their work with The Coasters, they created a string of ground-breaking hits that are some of the most entertaining in rock and roll, by using the humorous vernacular of the teenagers sung in a style that was openly theatrical rather than personal, songs that include "Young Blood", "Searchin'", and "Yakety Yak". They were the first to surround black music with elaborate production values, enhancing its emotional power with The Drifters in "There Goes My Baby", and influencing Phil Spector, who studied their productions while playing guitar on their sessions.
Leiber and Stoller wrote hits for Elvis Presley including "Love Me", "Jailhouse Rock", "Loving You", "Don't", and "King Creole". They also collaborated with other writers on such songs as "On Broadway", written with Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil; "Stand By Me", written with Ben E. King; "Young Blood", written with Doc Pomus; and "Spanish Harlem", co-written by Leiber and Phil Spector. In 1964, they launched Red Bird Records with George Goldner and, focusing on the "girl group" sound, released some of the greatest classics of the Brill Building period.
In all, Leiber and Stoller wrote or co-wrote over 70 chart hits. They were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1985 and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987.
quote:Leiber & Stoller on What's My Line? (1958)
In the 1950s the rhythm and blues of the black entertainment world, up to then restricted to black clubs, was increasing its audience-share in areas previously reserved for traditional pop music, and the phenomenon now known as "crossover" became apparent.
Leiber and Stoller affected the course of modern popular music in 1957 when they wrote and produced the crossover double-sided hit by The Coasters, "Young Blood"/"Searchin'". They released "Yakety Yak", which was a mainstream hit, as was the follow-up, "Charlie Brown". This was followed by "Along Came Jones", "Poison Ivy", "Shoppin' for Clothes", and "Little Egypt".
They produced and co-wrote "There Goes My Baby", a hit for The Drifters in 1959,[18] which introduced the use of strings for saxophone-like riffs, a tympani for the Brazilian baion rhythm they incorporated, and lavish production values into the established black R&B sound, laying the groundwork for the soul music that would follow.

Let's Get Lost
quote:
Let's Get Lost (1988) is an American documentary film about the turbulent life and career of jazz trumpeter Chet Baker written and directed by Bruce Weber. The title is derived from a song by Jimmy McHugh and Frank Loesser from the 1943 film Happy Go Lucky which Baker recorded for Pacific Records.
A group of Baker fans, ranging from ex-associates to ex-wives and children, talk about the man. Weber’s film traces the man’s career from the 1950s, playing with jazz greats like Charlie Parker, Gerry Mulligan, and Russ Freeman, to the 1980s, when his heroin addiction and domestic indifference kept him in Europe. By juxtaposing these two decades, Weber presents a sharp contrast between the younger, handsome Baker — the statuesque idol who resembled a mix of James Dean and Jack Kerouac — to what he became, “a seamy looking drugstore cowboy-cum-derelict,” as J. Hoberman put it in his Village Voice review.
Let’s Get Lost begins near the end of Baker’s life, on the beaches of Santa Monica, and ends at the Cannes Film Festival. Weber uses these moments in the present as bookends to the historic footage contained in the bulk of the film. The documentation ranges from vintage photographs by William Claxton in 1953 to appearances on The Steve Allen Show and kitschy, low budget Italian films Baker did for quick money.

I would call Macon the birthplace of Southern Rock.
Muscle Shoals is legendary for more than just Southern Rock

I recommend the documentary on Stax in Memphis. Talk about legendary music. Stax had it all, great players, soul, rock.

I strongly recommend this one on Legendary producer Tom Dowd. It touches on Muscle Shoals and Memphis. Also Allman Bros and Skynyrd are covered

I've watched all of the ones mentioned thus far. The doc that sticks out in my mind the most is "Let's get Lost." Baker had it all - great musical chops, good looks, and he lost everything due to drug addictions.

The Lost Genius of Judee Sill (2014 BBC Radio Documentary)
The ill-fated Judee Sill (1944-1979) is remembered today mostly for writing and singing the classic "Jesus Was A Crossmaker" (1971) . Despite her considerable talent, personal problems kept her from capitalizing on the singer-songwriter boom of the '70s.
But you have to like somebody who publicly outed David Geffen while onstage (Geffen responded by firing her).

The Muscle Shoals Documentary was great. I always wondered what the line, " muscle shoals has the swampers" meant. And to have that glass medicine bottle that was used as a slide would be priceless
