Seven years in the making, this documentary tells the story of an extraordinary artist from his early days in Hollywood to his triumphs on Broadway to his eventual decline and untimely death at age 59. It's the story of a man once described as being "his own Damon Runyon character" - a tough-talking New Yorker with a generous heart, a volatile temper, and a passion for living that came through in his music.
Heart & Soul has it all: a fascinating subject, great behind the scenes stories, and performance clips of favorite songs from the golden days of Hollywood and Broadway - music that has a special place in Americans' hearts... and souls.
