SUNDAY DOCUMENTARY - Standing In The Shadows Of Motown (2002) POSTING EARLY AS BUSY TOMORROW

I,m sure most of you have seen this but perhaps not all of you...if not your in for a treat!..My good friend from Japan Hakase San was kind enough to send this to me. i remember watching it and not keeping a copy.The subtitle of the movie states "They played on more #1 records than  the Beatles, the Beach Boys, the Rolling Stones, and Elvis combined..."  The producers went into great detail about the musicians behind the"Motown Sound". The film confirned my views about the music business in general. It's an enlightening movie, and one that any fan of popular music can appreciate. On a sad & Disgusting note The Funk Brothers were dismissed in 1972, when Berry Gordy moved the entire Motown label to Los Angeles, a development some of the musicians discovered only from a notice pinned on the studio door!!!?. A few members, including Jamerson, followed to the West Coast, but found the environment uncomfortable & non-productive....I,m not a fan of berry gordy and knew the man was more fond of money than the guys who earned it for him...what,s that old saying "there,s no such thing as i decent businessman".....well enough said....watch the credits at the end for some very well known names linked to Detroit Soul!.......Link Good For 7 Days Only Below Poster
