Goodbye Horses: The Many Lives of Q Lazzarus (2024)

A fascinating exploration of the enigmatic artist behind the cult song. After serendipitously meeting, when the film’s director realized the driver of her rideshare car was actually Diane Luckey (aka Q Lazzarus), the two decided to collaborate on a film about the singer’s life. Filmed over a few years, we finally learn about the singer’s life, her legally tumultuous music career that resulted in her never getting paid for her iconic song, her issues with drugs and the law, how she became a bus driver and car driver to support her family, and ultimately, her sudden, unexpected death. Throughout all this we’re also given the gift of multiple previously unreleased tracks. The soundtrack to the film serves as the first official full length release by Q Lazzarus. Part investigation, part redemption arc, Goodbye Horses is a tribute to a woman of incredible resilience who seemingly appeared from nowhere to give us one of the most singularly powerful pieces of pop music ever only to disappear yet again.

Part of our Black Women At The Front documentary series. Join us them all!
