Synopsis
Landis directed the parts of the film that are the music videos for B.B. King's songs "Lucille", "Into the Night" (specially composed by Ira Newborn for the film 'Into the Night') and also for the song "In the Midnight Hour". Videos for "Lucille" and "In the Midnight Hour" are similar and show B.B.

Jeff Okun directed the rest of the film (including editing archival King's footage and interviews with Landis and King). The film was made to promote 'Into the Night' and as a tribute to B.B. King's life and art.
