Director Ben Cook captures Annie honestly and offers us a window into her life. "She treated us to enviably fascinating stories, starting during her school days, moving to the early days of her musical career and from there onto gigs, gospel, marriages and Mexico. Annie’s tales were broken by two stunning a cappella performances that gave a flavour of her music and stage presence. It introduced to us a formidible, worldly yet warm, funny and insightful lady who’s halfway through living an extraordinary life."
The film will shortly be available online. Baby Dee and Little Annie will be on tour throughout November details here
