Film On Sunday - 20 Feet from Stardom

This Oscar-winning film is about the backing singers who have lent their musical talent to countless hit records. Sometimes acknowledged and appreciated, sometimes not. Sometimes content to remain in the background, sometimes not. Interestingly, it was the 70s invasion of the USA by British artists like the Rolling Stones and Joe Cocker which enabled these mostly African-American women to let rip with a passion that the American recording industry had preferred to keep tastefully restrained.
