    How can this man not be in the Rock n Roll hHall of Fame, as a solo artist, with the monumental success he’s had? A superior talent. Undervalued - a true icon.

  • Misinformation

    This is good. But it’s not correct to state that Jim Hutton was with Mercury when he died. He wasn’t. He later openly admitted this. The only person with him was Dave Clark. Get things right!

  • Brilliant!

    I loved listening to old interviews intertwined with snippets of Beatles’ songs. Poignant, moving and beautiful; very much like the legacy of their music. Brought a tear to my eye at the end. Thank you.

  • Fascinating and moving

    Hard to compress the Beatles into 3 hours but given that it was excellent. Great interview clips, memories and commentary. Gems and nuggets sprinkled throughout and some very moving moments. Absolutely worth your time if you have any interest in the Beatles.
