This documentary of Fats Waller's professional life is nicely done. There are a large number of performance numbers taken from various sources. What is particularly good about this DVD is that most of the performances are intact, not cut up or disturbed by overlaid narrater chatter. According to the DVD cover there are 14 performance segments. Listening to Fats is not enough, he is a genuine performer and his face mirrors what he is singing. The documentary is respectful to his memory and his work.

Fantastic footage of Fats. All the classic old tunes. Can't help but put a smile on your dial or a bounce in your step. Bought it for my dad, but the whole family bopped along to it.
5.0 out of 5 stars

Fats Waller hat das verdient!,

Mit Spannung habe ich die DVD erwartet und wurde nicht enttäuscht! In knapper Form wird die Geschichte dieses grossen Entertainers lebendig erzählt und mit Filmausschnitten ergänzt. Die Leute haben sich Mühe gegeben aus dem historischen Material etwas Gutes zu machen. Entstanden ist ein richtiges Feuerwerk an wunderbarer Unterhaltung, natürlich mit dem etwas in Vergessenheit geratenen Fats am Klavier, richtig in der Stride-Tradition, und seinen guten Begleitmusikern. (Heute würde man dies als All-Star-Gruppe bezeichnen!) Eigentlich warte ich auf eine Fortsetzung dieses Films...
