He can get them jobs as backing vocalists for one of the hottest names of the era, Jimmy Early (Eddie Muphy), and later their own name on the poster. They just have to trust him. And Curtis really seems capable of miracles. He gets records recorded, he gets Jimmy booked at places where a black singer has never set foot before. As the Civil Rights Movement marches to the rhythm, his music breaks through to mainstream culture - but not with Jimmy as the front figure, nor with the girls’ lead singer Effie (Jennifer Hudson), but with the cautious beauty Deena (Beyoncé Knowles). From Jimmy Early and The Dreamettes to Deena Jones and The Dreams. Curtis shapes his stars, streamlines them and builds a music empire. Deena experiences all the success she had dreamed of, but discovers the costs too late. Region code 2 Edition Running time in minutes 126 Year of production 2006
