the last time I could go some-
where and just be myself,” he says.
His friend Nick Mead was with him
the entire trip, documenting ev-
erything.
Clarence died on June 18,
2011 due to complications from
a stroke. The film closes with
thoughts from others about the
loss and his legacy. It’s a fitting
end for a film about a man whose
music touched millions and de-
spite the fame and fortune, he was
still a regular guy to his friends
and family. A man who was very
spiritual who spent much of his life
seeking something he could not
find. The film will have an arthouse
theatrical release in July, a DVD
and digital release in August, and
will be followed by a TV or on de-
mand release later in the year.
“Life is about the journey,” said
Clarence. “The heart of it, the spir-
it of it is that one note - that same
note, night after night. That’s the
promised land. That’s where I be-
long. That’s who I think I am.”
