The Five Heartbeats (1991)
Aan het begin van de jaren 1960 vormt een groep Afro Amerikanen een amateur zangkoor genaamd de Five Heartbeats. Na een slechte start groeien ze uit tot de grote muzieksensatie. Maar tijdens hun succesperiode ontdekken ze de waarheid achter de muziekindustrie met zijn racisme en gretigheid, wat weleens het einde van hun band zou kunnen worden.
