8 revelations we learned from Questlove's new doc about SNL's music
Briefly

Directed by Questlove, the documentary "Ladies and Gentlemen 50 Years of SNL Music" showcases the iconic live musical history of Saturday Night Live. The film opens with an elaborate montage blending various performances, creating seamless transitions between musical acts. This opening not only highlights the diversity of artists featured over five decades but also emphasizes the powerful unifying spirit of music. Questlove enriches the narrative with anecdotes about sketches and performances, reminding viewers of the show's cultural impact and the incredible moments that defined live television music.
Questlove does much more than stitch together cool musical moments. He goes beyond the artists' performances to talk about sketches centered on music.
The new film about Saturday Night Live's five-decade history of (mostly) live musical performances kicks off with the best opening to a music-centered documentary I have ever seen.
