Morgan Neville  (born October 10, 1967) is an American film producer, director and writer.  His acclaimed film 20 Feet from Stardom won him the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature in 2014 as well as a Grammy Award for Best Music Film.  His documentary Best of Enemies, on the debates between Gore Vidal and William F. Buckley, Jr., was shortlisted for the 2016 Academy Award and won an Emmy Award.  Neville has been nominated for four additional Grammys for his films:  Respect Yourself: The Stax Records Story, Muddy Waters: Can’t Be Satisfied, Johnny Cash’s America, and The Music of Strangers: Yo-Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble.  Focus Features distributed his film Won’t You Be My Neighbor?, a documentary about Fred Rogers, in June 2018, which received critical acclaim.  (More from Wikipedia)
 
 
Then there was a “Deluxe Edition” of Raw Power in 2010 – after the Stooges had reformed and began touring worldwide – on Columbia’s Legacy Recordings label that included a second CD of live recordings made at Richards in Atlanta in October 1973; a third CD entitled “Rarities, Outtakes & Alternatives from the Raw Power Era”; and a DVD featuring a documentary by Morgan Neville and additional live recordings made in November 2009 at Planeta Terra Festival in São Paulo, Brazil.  Deluxe Editions tend to be pricey though, and many fans cannot afford to pay that much for music.  The Raw Power Deluxe Edition is currently available on Amazon for $99.97 and up and was probably no cheaper when it originally came out.
