20 Feet from Stardom (2013)

 Genre: Documentary
Directed by: Morgan Neville
Cast: Darlene Love, Judith Hill, Merry Clayton, Lisa Fischer 
Running Time: 90 minutes

 


This documentary looks at the life and career of a group of backup singers—mostly women—that have performed over the years with such acts as The Rolling Stones, Ray Charles, David Bowie and many more. This film also looks at these talented singers’ difficulty in reaching the spotlight and in getting their talents properly recognized.

As a long-time music lover, I truly enjoyed this enlightening documentary. So many talented people do not get proper recognition in the music business, and it is nice to see that such a film can do at least a little bit to help. It was treat to learn more about such talented artists as Merry Clayton, Lisa Fischer, Darlene Love, Judith Love, Tata Vega and others. This movie is a real treat for the music fans out there.
