Grace Of My Heart - 1996 - 6/10
Aspiring singer wins a talent contest, leading to a recording deal.
A year on, still no record, she is persuaded to be a songwriter.
Fanciful retelling of Carole King and her years in the Brill Building.
Knowledgeable souls may glimpse “versions” of Phil Spector, Gerry Goffin, Brian Wilson, Lesley Gore …
The Brill material is fun, if fantasy. West Coast act drags the film down.
Too long, and possibly made ten years too late.
Hey, and a shoutout to WKEE! Remember, O’Shea loves you best.
