Christian McBride

A documentary exploring the life and legacy of Clyde Stubblefield, James Brown’s groundbreaking drummer whose rhythm reshaped music across generations. Despite his profound influence, a lack of credit and compensation resulted in a life of obscurity and hardships.

"King of Them All" unfolds like a listening session with history. From James Brown’s soul to the Stanley Brothers’ bluegrass, King Records shaped genres that still echo today. Guided by voices like Seymour Stein, Vince Gill, and Christian McBride, the film restores a lost legacy.
