According to a statement from the film\u2019s team, \u201cThe Music of My Soul explores Gregg\u2019s lifelong battle with addiction, his seven marriages (including his high-profile union with Cher) and the late-life sobriety that allowed him to reckon with his past. The film examines not just the artist\u2019s private wounds but the wider American psyche\u2014race, loss, longing and reinvention\u2014during Gregg\u2019s lifetime. Musicians, friends, and family illuminate how an integrated band in the segregated South challenged boundaries while forging a sound that was both raw and redemptive.\u201d<\/p>\n
