"This adds some context to what the world should know about an artist who paved the way for many more who followed. It ties history to the present through two contemporary artists who admired Mr. Parks. If you tune in for 100% Parks, soup to nuts, you will be a little disappointed. If you're more flexible, you might catch some nice moments here. It's a great jumping off point for learning more about Gordon Parks, though it doesn't mention his music at all. There's a film for that elsewhere."
