There’s a documentary on You Tube called 30 Century Man, made 2006.  I thought it was great. Also available on DVD apparently, but I wasn’t aware of it before I stumbled across it while having a bit of a wallow when I heard the news.

I was very sad to hear of his death. He was certainly a major talent, and I loved the Walker Brothers back in the 60s - they had a unique, rich sound. "Godlike genius" is stretching it a bit, though!
I came to realise that every time we recognise something human in creatures, we are also recognising something creaturely in ourselves. That is central to the rejection of human supremacism as the pernicious doctrine it is.
