Sunday Documentary - 20 Feet from Stardom (2013)

20 Feet from Stardom is a 2013 American documentary film directed by documentary filmmaker Morgan Neville  and produced by Gil Friesen, a music industry executive whose curiosity to know more about the lives of background singers inspired the making of the film. The film follows the behind-the-scenes experiences of backup singers and stars Darlene Love, Judith Hill, Merry Clayton, Lisa Fischer, Tata Vega, and Jo Lawry, among many others. On March 2, 2014, it won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature at the 86th Academy Awards, Lisa Fischer said of backup singing: "I reject the notion that the job you excel at is somehow not enough to aspire to, that there has to be something more. I love supporting other artists." She added: "Some people will do anything to be famous. I just wanted to sing. Darlene Love was a Victim of Phil Spectors Strange & Vindictive behavious in particular and robbed of fame & Money..A brilliant & Educational Docu !....Link Below poster good for 7 days only...
