The Cry of the Heart: Connie Smith (Full Documentary)

This is Connie Smith, yesterday and today. This documentary short depicts the journey of one of country music’s most beloved artists and voices. From humble beginnings to being in the brightest spotlight, to the decision to step back at her peak only to come back as strong as ever. Country Music Hall Of Famer Connie Smith is as vital now as she ever was, and she did it all without compromising her music or who she is at her core.
