and the earlier, non-AM listing
which lists runtime as 1h 40min
The AM broadcast added extended versions of some clips in the show.
As thorough as a such a short program can be. Covers his career, various talents, activism and some marriages. Not exhaustive by any means, but representative of the breadth and depth of his 64 years.
I'm a fan of his talent and career, and appalled by the prejudice he had to fight. Very glad to see this.
Rated 8.4 (15) for AM episode, 7.6 (91) for the 2017 movie running 1:40.
