As part of our Turn Back Time series when queerguru re-visits things from the past that are too good too forget, we are re-watching one of the most uplifting DVD’s that we have ever come across. From 2006 Been Rich All MY Life is the story of 5 octogenarian ex-chorus dancing girls from Harlem who are (or were) still dancing professional. The Silver Belles may be falling apart physically and ‘can’t remember shit’, but they make it to performance after performance wearing spangled sequin outfits and having a ball in front of sold out audiences.
This heart-warming documentary about this glorious women with the most infectious good humor and energy is so totally inspiring, and they will make you feel that you are simple not doing enough with your own lives.
