Music: A Family Tradition (1997)

MUSIC - A Family Tradition is a musical documentary that travels across Canada and looks at four extraordinary Black Canadian families. In Montreal we feature Charlie Biddle and his family, as well as the Sherwood family. In Vancouver we meet the King family and in Toronto we hear the music of Jackie Richardson and her daughter, Kim Richardson. The film shows how these Black families have embraced music as a life-long tradition handed down from mother to daughter and from father to son. It is a story that captures some amazing performances of Black music from Gospel to Jazz to R&B.
