Wheedle's Groove

Rating: 5.0/5 (1 vote cast)

People forget that Seattle used to have a very thriving soul music scene. It was growing in popularity when it stopped suddenly and seemed to fade away as quickly as it came. What caused this change? Wheedle’s Groove aims to find out.
Why It's FilmBuff
Seattle's forgotten sound movement, Wheedle's Groove explores a new angle of American history and a time that had an influence on every generation since. The film's unconventional narrator Sir Mix-a-Lot and an appearance by Ben Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie gives even more clarity on how Seattle's soul movement actually affected the music we currently consume. The Seattle soul scene may have died suddenly in 1975 Seattle, but Wheedle's Groove keeps the movement from being lost to the masses.
