Tribute This! is a 2008 American documentary film directed by Mick McCleery and produced by Gary Joseph and Mike Nicholson. The subject of the film is British singer/songwriter Billy Franks (former frontman for the London 80's band 'The Faith Brothers').
The film follows the real life, five country trek that McCleery, Joseph and Nicholson took, along with Franks as they tried to track down ten famous singers (Huey Lewis, Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello, Steve Earle, Aaron Neville, Rod Stewart, Tom Petty, Jon Bon Jovi, Bryan Adams and Paul McCartney) and ask them if they would be willing to record one track for a tribute album to the mostly unknown Franks. All proceeds going to the UK music charity 'Youth Music'.
The film also explores the greater issues of the randomness of the celebrity culture, the life-long pursuit of dreams and just how important friendships can be.
