I loved this. It made me realize how little I know about these songs that I've heard so often they become invisible.

I saw this documentary a few years ago and loved it. I couldn't believe how many iconic songs came out of the studio.

I have seen this documentary multiple times and recommended it to everyone I know who is the least bit interested in music. It is so interesting and entertaining and heart wrenching and amazing. What a story!
