Soul Sisters

Patti Henley and Brenda Lee Eager are two of the most talented singer/songwriters from the golden age of rock/soul and R&B - who performed with such artists as Michael Jackson, Prince, Stevie Wonder,Graham Nash and Ray Charles. Soul Sisters tells the story of their lives: beginning as teenagers in Chicago working for Martin Luther King/Jesse Jackson's Operation Breadbasket, singing as the Piperettes. Selected by Jackson, alongside fellow singers Sue Conway and Lois Scott to be the "Voice of the Movement" we see how their music help spread messages of racial and job equality and helped to get the first African American mayors in America elected. Their important work continues today in the school system, bringing the positive values of that civil rights movement to young people.
