On le sait, les stars de la chanson française, en général, n'ont pas été trop intimidées - ni inquiétées - par l'occupant allemand. Certaines, d'ailleurs, se sont empressées de séduire les oreilles pétainistes et nazies. Fallait-il, ou non, continuer à chanter? Cette activité pouvait-elle passer pour une forme de collaboration? A questions dérangeantes, réponses ambiguës! Quoi qu'il en soit, et comme le montre ce film, les années sombres ont été plutôt fertiles pour la chanson française.

Clint Eastwood, amoureux du jazz et du blues, et pianiste lui-même, se propose de retracer l'histoire du piano dans le blues à travers ceux qui l'ont popularisé au XX siècle. Il choisit de rencontrer Dr. John, Fats Domino, Little Richard, Jay McShann, Dave Brubeck, Pinetop Perkins, Marcia Ball et bien sûr Ray Charles. De nombreuses séquences d'archives ponctuent le film avec de grands noms du piano comme Otis Spann, Charles Brown, etc.
