He has never received a separate entry in Wikipedia although his art left a distinct mark on the history of R&B, soul or rock’n’roll in the 1970s. Please, meet an Afro-American vocalist called Rudy Love whose biography is a story about a rare talent, very unlucky career, racial bias and great scams in music industry. Using archival materials and the footage of the recognised artists of that era the film rediscovers the forgotten singer whose pieces have lived their own lives in various corners of the world.
