"Standing in the Shadows of Motown" - El Dingo - 08-03-2015
OK - This is weird.
IMDB does not list this documentary. I've watched it twice on Showtime
Anyway it chronicles the experiences of the "Funk Brothers". The guys who practiced, arranged and performed almost everything Motown produced. Reading this Wik page is a hoot: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Funk_Brothers#Notable_members">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Funk_ ... le_members</a><!-- m -->
If you like Motown music you will love this documentary. The interviews are intersperced with modern performances of current pop stars doing the old tunes with the original musicians.
