Charlie Gracie

This documentary chronicles the life and career of rock and roll pioneer Charlie Gracie. His #1 hit “Butterfly” knocked Elvis from the top of the charts in 1957 and sold over three million copies worldwide.  The film highlights the meteoric rise and fall–and the phoenix-like rebirth–of an early guitar pioneer who has thrilled audiences for over fifty years. Today, Charlie is acknowledged as a vital early inspiration by rock heroes such as Keith Richards, Paul McCartney, Graham Nash, Ray Davies and Van Morrison. They all revere the slick, raw power that Gracie brings out of his trademark Guild hollow-body electric.
