This engaging film gets to go behind the scenes of these performances and complements these special moments with a wealth of archive footage of his impressive career, featuring performances by the legendary artists who recorded his music, including Buddy Holly, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Aretha Franklin, Nina Simone, Tom Jones, Sammy Davis Jr., Linda Ronstadt, Michael Jackson, Drake and many more.

He has more than 900 songs to his credit, including iconic hits like “Put Your Head On My Shoulder”, surprising posthumous hits with Michael Jackson, and even a swing reworking of “Smells Like Teen Spirit.”
