Wonderful music is being made all the time, but it can't happen in a vacuum. Without sufficient support, the artists, accompanists, engineers, record stores and venues can't do what they do — nourish our souls and make the world a more colorful place. (This goes doubly as we enter the second year of a global pandemic!)

It's worth considering this reality while taking inventory of our New Year's resolutions for 2022. Diet plans and yoga classes aside, how can we take this time of transformation and renewal to give back to the music community that has given us so much? 

In the poll below, let us know how you plan to level up as a music consumer and offer gratitude and support to the people who soundtrack your days and nights!

In celebration of the recent release of RESPECT (Aug. 13), in which Jennifer Hudson embodies the one and only Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin, GRAMMY.com wants to know: What is your favorite music biopic?

A popular and compelling way to explore the lives of the artists and musicians we love, music biopics have experienced a major spike recently, with at least one major film seemingly released every year. Lady Sings The Blues (1972) saw disco queen Diana Ross embody Billie Holiday, while Andra Day tackled the heartbreaking role in this year's The United States vs. Billie Holiday. 1997 gave us a young Jennifer Lopez as Selena in Selena, 2005 turned Joaquin Phoenix into Johnny Cash in Walk the Line, and 2019 catapulted Taron Egerton into superstardom via his starring role as Elton John in Rocketman.

Vote now for your favorite music biopic in the below poll; it will remain open until Tuesday, Sept. 7, after which you can come back to see the final voting results.
