Summary

Today my guest is Alexis Spraic, director of the fantastic documentary -

The World According to Allee Willis.

I can't recommend this film enough. Allee was an actual songwriting genius writing songs for

Earth Wind and Fire "September" and Boogie Wonderland, Cyndi Lauper, Pointer Sisters "Neutron Dance" and even the theme song from the hit T.V. show Friends.

Her track record is unbelievably Grammy Awards, Tony Awards she did it all.

See this film this week in the theater.
