A wonderful profile of an unassuming legend

"This is a fantastic documentary on a major figure in the music industry and the Asian American community. I only learned about Ben Fong Torres in the movie "Almost Famous." A journalist myself, this was inspiring. But I really never knew much about him until the documentary. To see people like Elton John, Annie Lebowitz and Steve Martin hold him in such high regards gave me goosebumps. But it goes even deeper than that. A must watch...."
