As a massive Alice Cooper fan I have always been interested in his long term manager Shep Gordon after reading stories about him in a number of biographies. A great doco from Mike Myers which really shows the story of a guy who fell into the entertainment business and who became an influential and somewhat complex individual who always had his clients best interests at the forefront of everything he did. Really enjoyable and a great double bill with the recent bio Super Duper Alice Cooper.

Description

Supermensch: The Legend of Shep Gordon is a 2013 American documentary film about talent manager Shep Gordon, produced and directed by Mike Myers in his directorial debut.

Supermensch documents the astounding career of Hollywood insider, the loveable Shep Gordon, who fell into music management by chance after moving to LA straight out of college, and befriending Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison and Jimi Hendrix. Shep managed rock stars such as Pink Floyd, Luther Vandross, Teddy Pendergrass and Alice Cooper, and later went on to manage chefs such as Emeril Lagasse, ushering in the era of celebrity chefs on television. Stuffed with fantastic archive footage the film traces Shep’s transfor­mation from the 1970’s hedonist to today’s practicing Buddhist yearning for a family of his own.
