An upcoming documentary aims to highlight Atlanta soul musician Lee Moses for a new era. The documentary, "Time and Place," focuses on Moses' life and the soul scene in Atlanta during the 1970s. The documentary takes its name from Moses' solo album. The album has become a staple of Southern soul despite not finding commercial success when it was released. 

Filmmaker Simon David stopped by "On Second Thought" to discuss the documentary and how it traces Atlanta's soul scene through those who remember it. Doris Moses, Lee Moses' widow, also joined the conversation.

 "On Second Thought" host Virginia Prescott speaks with Simon David and Doris Moses.

The Masquerade in Atlanta hosts a tribute to Lee Moses on Thursday, Feb. 7, featuring musicians like Hermon Hitson and Curtis Harding.
