Just went to a screening of this on Saturday and it's fantastic.
It's about the The Funk Brothers- the secret behind the Motown sound
A chance to learn about some artists who for most of their lives received
little to no recognition for records that were huge hits
One scene shows them putting a tune ("[Love is like a] Heat Wave") together
for Joan Osborne - instrument by instrument. Very cool!
Each and every musician has their chance in this movie - living or dead.
It's about time a film like this was made.
R.I.P. Richard "Pistol" Allen, drummer for the Funk Brothers, who died this
year
"Pistol was the drummer on most of Holland-Dozier-Holland's hit productions
of the '60s"
