As upbeat a tribute piece as you're likely to hear. The producer does a good job of allowing Brown's music and voice to tell her story. In a succinct and sound-rich memorial, this piece offers an interesting and relatively comprehensive look at the highs and lows of Brown's life and career. The narrative transisitions could be a little more elegant, but, on the whole, this is an enjoyable story.
