Commented filmmaker SCHEINFELD, “HERB is a true artist who did things the right way, achieved success on his own terms, and brought much joy to the world in the process. I wanted to make a documentary that would reflect this and, most importantly, to be a 'feel good' film that will uplift, inspire and bring audiences together exactly as does HERB’s music.”
