Harlem Street Singer tells the little-known story of Reverend Gary Davis, the great American ragtime, blues and gospel guitarist. Tracing his journey from the tobacco warehouses of the rural south to the streets of Harlem, and onto the 1960s folk music scene, the film tells the story of a blind street musician and itinerant preacher who rose out of abject poverty to influence a generation of musicians.
