Bobby Charles began his career as a teenager writing songs for Fats Domino. He went on to a storied career, from teen pop star to country-folk singer, becoming friends with Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, Neil Young, and The Band who featured him in their landmark concert, The Last Waltz. The film features interviews with many legendary performers including Dr. John, Allen Toussaint, "Frogman" Henry, Sonny Landreth, Johnny Allen, Warren Storm and Delbert McClinton. Though Bobby never learned to write or read music (or play a musical instrument), his influence on today’s music and musicians is far-reaching with his songs having been recorded by over 250 artists worldwide.
