A Taste of Heaven: The Ecstatic Song & Gospel of Maestro Raymond Anthony Myles
Raymond Anthony Myles was the electrifying Gospel Genius of New Orleans. Like a comet shooting across the sky, he was here one minute – brilliant, incandescent and unmistakably unique. And then, just as quickly, he was gone… But Raymond was more than a maverick musician. He was also highly representative of a vital but scorned minority within the Black church: a queer man who struggled with dogma and Scripture that said, "God's love does not apply to you."
Cast: John Boutté, Big Freedia, Mahalia Jackson
