Really enjoyed this.. a nice look at the background singers - often overlooked, but an integral part of the music industry. Not everyone can be a star and not everyone wants to be the main act.

The music industry is fickle and a huge part is luck and nothing more. Whitney Houston is no better than any of these singers, but Clive Davis took a shine to her and Dionne Warwick was her aunt - so she became famous.
By the same token, Judith Hill is talented and almost made it big because Michael Jackson loved her. But 4+ years later and she's still not a major star. Watching this in 2023 - she STILL hasn't made it - give up and be happy being a great backup singer.

If you love music, this is a worthwhile watch.
9/10

This film is about the unsung heroes of great music.... the backup singers. I thought the film had some problems. I thought the film was narrow in who it decided to include. The Sweet Inspirations for example we’re not even mentioned yet there were legendary.also a lot of whining about how many of them were not accepted as solo acts minus the great Lisa Fischer. Could have been better.
