In his latest two-part documentary, Get On Up: The Triumph of Black America, David journeys across the US to meet his heroes and discover some of the true stories behind the incredible artists who shaped his life and changed the world. Smokey Robinson, Bond girl Gloria Hendry and disco pioneer Nile Rogers are just some of the names to feature.
His next choices are from Jackie Wilson and Sammy Davis, Jr.
