Spinning Gold details the rise of Casablanca Records in the 1970s and the evolution of their stellar roster of artists such as Donna Summer, Parliament, Gladys Knight, the Isley Brothers and Bill Withers.
EBONY correspondent Jenn Rodriguez speaks with Wiz Khalifa, George Clinton, and Tayla Parx about the film and the impact of these artists on the industry as a whole.
"I hope the audience can learn the importance of what these figures have done for the music game, not just the actual industry but the soul and the spirit that's brought to the music. The freedom, the funk and the want to explore more," shared Wiz Khalifa.
