A Taste of Heaven: The Ecstatic Song & Gospel of Maestro Raymond Anthony Myles (2023) is a film directed by Leo Sacks, starring John Boutté, Big Freedia, Mahalia Jackson.
Raymond Anthony Myles was the electrifying Gospel Genius of New Orleans. Like a comet shooting across the sky, he was here one minute – brilliant, incandescent and unmistakably unique. And then, just as quickly, he was gone… But Raymond was more than a maverick musician. He was also highly representative of a vital but scorned minority within the Black church: a queer man who struggled with dogma and Scripture that said, "God's love does not apply to you."
John Boutté, Big Freedia, Mahalia Jackson, Cyril Neville, Harry Shearer, Irma Thomas, Allen Toussaint
