The story of the rise and fall of Brazilian singer Wilson Simonal (1939-2000), who reached stardom status in a time when black artists in Brazil didn´t get such chances. In spite of his humble background, Simonal got a big break on Brazilian TV in the 60's even threatening the domain of the immensely popular singer Roberto Carlos. At the zenith of his fame, Simonal shared the stage with Sarah Vaughn, who was on tour in Brazil. Simonal even attempted at political reflection on being black in the song "Tribute to Martin Luther King". An incident that was never cleared up involving the secret police during the military dictatorship in Brazil in the 70's and a former employee of Simonal's, who filed a law suit against him, cast a shadow over his career and the suspicion that he was an informer for the military.
