<p>A decent bio of Nilsson came out a year or so ago. Nilsson: The life of a singer-songwriter by Alyn Shipton. Hugely expensive but I eventually got it on Kindle for about 10 bucks. BTW I got to know Alyn Shipton through a bio of Cab Calloway he did a while ago. Well worth a read if you can get hold of it; amazing what black musicians had to put up with not that long ago, they could be rolling in money and still get treated like shit.</p>

<p>Still one of the best "Nuggets" ever.</p> -

<p>Copped a bit of flak early on for sounding like Ghostface (Wu Tang). But he's a talent and his 'Fuck that's delicious' series is mint, even has a couple of episodes from his NZ trip.</p> -
<p>Not sure if this should be in the TV thread or the music one but somehow, until this morning, this excellent music doco about Soul Train and it's influence on black culture and society had passed me by.</p>

<p>from some searching, it looks like it was made in 2010 but slipped under the radar (hardly a mention in IMDB) and was re-shown only earlier this year.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sky seems to show lots of other VH1 docos on Prime but tends to annually regurgitate the same old 'Classic Rock' ones which is a pity as it looks like there are plenty of really good ones done around other musical genres and aspects of popular culture</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I won't post the clip, as it is an hour long, but this youtube link is a good quality copy.</p>

<p>My nephew's a struggling musician - this is his new video. I think part of it was paid for from an NZ on Air grant, so you should watch it to get value for your tax dollars. :)</p>
