What the world needs now is love, sweet love and compassion. In 1966, Four Tops, Motown’s second-greatest male vocal group, after the Temptations, delivered both with their signature hit, “Reach Out I’ll Be There.” As the U.S. was suffering from the heightened trauma of a deadly global pandemic and racial reckoning last year (conditions that continue to plague the country in 2021), then-Democratic Presidential candidate Joe Biden chose it for his campaign soundtrack. If you pay attention to the lyrics, it’s easy to see why he found it such an appropriate song for the times.

One Night in Miami, helmed by Regina King and based on the play Kemp Powers, is a fictionalized account of an actual meeting of magnetic minds.
On an evening in 1964, during a time of racial and civil hostility in the United States, an extraordinary quartet composed of Cassius Clay (known today as Muhammad Ali and portrayed by Eli Goree), human rights activist Malcolm X (Kingsley Ben-Adir), musician Sam Cooke (Leslie Odom Jr.), and football star Jim Brown (Aldis Hodge) congregates to celebrate Clay’s newly-anointed title as world heavyweight boxing champion. But instead of heading out on the town, the group stay in Malcolm’s cramped Florida motel room to eat ice cream and candidly reflect on their personal changes and the country at large, inviting viewers in on their musings.
