20 Feet from Stardom

This is a fabulous documentary about backup singers who perform, well, backup for famous singers.  Actually, it was a “job” I never had thought about.  The singers they interview are fantastic as singers and as people  –  their talent is in their being able to blend and add depth to the star’s sound. Their personal stories are interesting and the stars that “sing their praises” make the case for the broad and special talent backups have.
