Nominated
for this year’s Oscar for Best Feature Documentary, it tracks down the
background singers of some of the most memorable hits in the last four decades.
You don’t know their names but you will after seeing this insightful and
inspiring feel-good film. Darlene Love and Merry Clayton stand out. It’s always
fun to see a film that celebrates the little guy or in this case the large
voice in the back row. I hope this film inspires clones of this kind. How about
animators of our favorite films? Or jingle song writers of our favorite
commercials. Okay maybe this idea wouldn’t work for everything but it’s still a
refreshing kind of bio film. Grade: A
