Long John Baldry.
Documentary about Long John Baldry, a pioneering British musician who never received his due. An English gentleman, a dandy and quietly yet confidently gay, Baldry's blues enthusiasm in the late 50s and 60s inspired The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and Eric Clapton. He discovered the young Rod Stewart and a chubby piano player named Reginald Dwight, who ended up changing his name to Elton John. In later years he moved to Canada, yet continued to tour and record right up to his death in 2005.
