Joe Cocker - Mad Dog with Soul
Herself
La turbulenta vida del cantante de soul y blues, el fallecido Joe Cocker. Un ex instalador de gas de Sheffield, catapultado al estrellato mundial en 1969 en Woodstock con su legendaria interpretación de la canción de los Beatles, "A Little Help from My Friends". Pero a principios de la década de 1970, los demonios internos de Joe Cocker casi lo matan. Superando sus luchas con el alcohol y las drogas, reconstruyó su reputación como "uno de los grandes vocalistas de rock and roll de todos los tiempos" (descripción de Billy Joel). La película mezcla las propias palabras de Joe Cocker, con un archivo poco común. Su esposa (Pam Cocker) y su familia, amigos y los legendarios compositores y músicos con los que colaboró ​​cuentan la historia de Joe Cocker. La película tiene imágenes de desempeño eléctrico crudo, histórico en todas partes.
Delaney & Bonnie & Friends: Live In Denmark 1969
The band, which consisted of Bobby Whitlock on keys, Carl Radle on bass, Jim Gordon on drums, Jim Price on trumpet, Bobby Keys on saxophone, Rita Coolidge on backing vocals, and Billy Preston on keyboards, is on fire during this performance. Clapton’s presence most definitely brought excitement to this lineup and while George Harrison adds to the curiosity factor, he plays little more than support guitar in the background. Knowing now what this cast of players would go on to do, this makes for one very interesting watch.
Havana Jam '79
The story of the celebration of the historic three-day Havana Jam festival at the Karl Marx Theatre, in Havana, Cuba, from March 2-4, 1979.

Navidad en las nubes
Ramona
A classic comedy of mistaken identity and romance set during the holiday season at a ski resort that is owned and operated by a Native American Nation. Shot on location at The Sundance Resort in Utah, this is the first contemporary romantic comedy to feature an almost entirely American Indian cast. The film was featured at the 2001 Sundance Film Festival.
Making A Noise: A Native American Musical Journey with Robbie Robertson
Self - Cherokee
This doc explores "The Band" guitarist and songwriter Robbie Robertson's Native American background. Half Mohawk on his mother's side, the film follows him back to the Six Nations reservation in Ontario where he spent summers growing up and picked up his first guitar.

Octopussy
Theme Song Performance
El agente 009, compañero de James Bond, es asesinado en Berlín Oriental, aunque consigue llegar a la residencia del embajador británico antes de morir, llevando consigo una valiosísima pieza de orfebrería: un huevo de Pascua, creado por Fabergé. En Londres, especialistas del Servicio Secreto constatan que se trata de una falsificación de la joya original, que será subastada en breve. El hecho de que en un corto período de tiempo se hayan vendido piezas parecidas despierta las sospechas de los responsables de Inteligencia, que temen una maniobra rusa que estaría encaminada a recaudar fondos que irían destinados a oscuras operaciones. Tras la pista de Kamal Khan, turbio traficante de objetos de arte, James Bond llega a la India, lugar en el que descubrirá la relación entre el sospechoso, una misteriosa mujer conocida como Octopussy y el General Orlov, implicados todos ellos en una conspiración que pretende desatar un conflicto nuclear.

The Johnny Cash Christmas Special 1978
Self
For his 1978 Christmas special, the third in as many years, Johnny Cash moved the taping of the Christmas Special to Los Angeles, and, predictably, the program takes on a Hollywood feel. Guests include Kris Kristofferson and singer Rita Coolidge, both friends of the Cash family who perform a heartfelt "Please Don't Tell Me How The Story Ends," and Steve Martin, one of America's hottest new comics at the time. June Carter Cash, as always, performs with her husband, and other family members make appearances in this special as well.
Ha nacido una estrella
Self
El éxito como cantante de Esther Hoffman es paralelo al proceso de autodestrucción de su marido John Norman, una estrella del rock en decadencia y adicto a las drogas.
Free to Be… You and Me
Self
Free to Be…You and Me, a project of the Ms. Foundation for Women, is a record album, and illustrated book first released in November 1972, featuring songs and stories from many current celebrities of the day (credited as "Marlo Thomas and Friends") such as Alan Alda, Rosey Grier, Cicely Tyson, Carol Channing, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross, among others. An ABC Afterschool Special using poetry, songs, and sketches, followed two years later in March 1974. The basic concept is to encourage a post-60's gender neutrality, while saluting values such as individuality, tolerance, and happiness with one's identity. A major thematic message is that anyone, whether a boy or a girl, can achieve anything.
George Carlin: The Real George Carlin
Self
Carlin recorded his only network special, The Real George Carlin, in 1973. Featuring bits about growing up in New York, the material is neither profane nor squeaky clean – but has a slice of life element obviously lacking in the cuddly Carlin of the '60s. There’s a gold star moment of longhaired George mocking a cardboard cutout of the suit and tie version, and so take-em-or-leave-them musical appearances by BB King and Kris Kristofferson. Certainly, worth a modern glance.
Pat Garrett y Billy el Niño
Maria
La historia de Pat Garrett y Billy the Kid, los dos compañeros de fatigas y temidos forajidos que en el Viejo Oeste tomaron rumbos separados para uno de ellos, Pat, convertirse en sheriff y el otro, Billy, seguir viviendo sin horizontes, cansado y sin dirección.
Joe Cocker - Mad Dogs & Englishmen
Herself
"Joe Cocker - the Rotating Rocker - and his 42 member communal touring company Mad Dogs & Englishmen with the Master of Space and Time Leon Russell - see them perform in the pleasure palaces of America - it's a moving picture" says the classic film poster. See this spectacular rock 'n' roll tour documentary and get a dramatic visual record that captures the spirit of the hippie era with mind-blowing performances, crazy backstage footage, and spaced-out interviews. Supporting cast includes Claudia Lennear, Rita Coolidge, Sherman Jones reciting "Face on the Barroom Floor," and Canina the dog.
