Movie Reviews of Standing In The Shadows of Motown
Movie Review: Wonderful documentry
Summary: 5 Stars
What a wonderful find this music documentry is. I absolutely loved it. Be forwarned that none of the songs are performed by the recording artists. They are redone by new artists. But the beauty of this film is in the story of the Funk Brothers, the group of studio musicians that played on all the Motown hits and never got any recognition. A few of the performances are wonderful also. I loved "What Becomes of the Broken Hearted" and "What's Goin' On".Movie Review: Funk Bros Rock!
Summary: 5 Stars
All I have to say is "it's about time!" These guys are incredible. They ARE Motown. Late coming but the recognition is well deserved. Every music lover needs to see this. They need to put them ALL in the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame as a group.Movie Review: ABSORBING DOCUMENTARY! THE FUNK BROTHERS RULE!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you appreciate great music and great musicians then I recommend you check this DVD out. The story behind the "Motown Sound" with live performances by the original band with some popular younger singers taking center stage. The fact that they used these singers really shows how the music carried these hits and not so much who was singing them. The minute you hear the band play you'll know that no one could copy these guys! I would have liked to see more of the 2 disc set devoted to the late genius bassist James Jamerson but, it's still a very interesting and entertaining look into a group not well known but, heard on an astounding amount of hit records. This is one of the best music DVDs out there. I have seen this DVD many times in the bargain bin for $5.00.......a bargain indeed! Buy it....you will not be disappointed!Movie Review: Motown

A friend and fellow musician recommended this movie and it's a very good history of the musicians who provided the original motown sound.Movie Review: Standing In The Shadows of Motown
Summary: 5 Stars
This film is really great especially for music lovers. This is my 4th copy I've ordered and given out as gifts. Everyone enjoy it as well.The film is done in a way that put you right in that moment of time as musical history was being made. The story, the performances,especially, Chaka Khan's version of "What's Going On" will have you in tears. I was very fortunate to see the "Funk Brothers" perform twice after viewing this film. Great, just like the film.
