About this product

Product Information

Paul Justman's inspiring documentary pays tribute to one of the most influential, yet unrecognized, collection of musicians that has ever been assembled. The Funk Brothers played the background music on the seemingly endless string of Motown classics in the 1960s and 1970s, resulting in a resume that boasts more number one hits than The Beatles, the Beach Boys, The Rolling Stones, and Elvis Presley combined. Shot on location in Detroit, STANDING IN THE SHADOWS OF MOTOWN reunites the surviving members as they reflect on the groups' storied past. Most celebrated is departed bassist James Jamerson, whose fiery presence and technical prowess was largely responsible for shaping the Funk Brothers' supremely distinct sound. In addition to interviews, as well as reenactments and archival footage, Justman gathers together the musicians for an unforgettable reunion concert. Featuring the vocal support of several contemporary artists, including Joan Osborne, Ben Harper, Chaka Kahn, Gerald Levert, and Bootsy Collins, the Funk Brothers prove that they haven't lost a beat. Based on the book by Allan "Dr. Licks" Slutsky, STANDING IN THE SHADOWS OF MOTOWN gives overdue credit to a group of unassuming musicians who quietly created one of popular music's most enduring and spectacular musical legacies.

    I so enjoy watching this documentary. It takes me back to a more simpler time when living life was so uncomplicated. I share this DVD with friends who also appreciate the era of Motown. This item arrived in a few days and not weeks.

  • clearing away the cobwebs

    this is a TOTALLY enchanting account of who did what and the politics of same, re: the ancient motown players. i felt the same way watching this that i felt while watching 'the wrecking crew' DVD. ancient players receiving their LONG OVERDUE just due !! so many of the same people playing on SO MANY "hit" records...(where one THOUGHT it was the actual original band !!) many great stories, providing pretty total enchantment! TOO BAD !! many of these people have died before, during! , or after) the production of this. -particularly sad when motown moved to LA, although motown had sort of "shot its' load" by that time anyway...nevertheless, MANY deserving musicians were left "in limbo"... i suppose, however; motown technically did not OWE them ANYTHING! -still, i found it really SAD !! , ...

  • The True Untold Story of the Motown Sound.

    After watching this documentary I felt as if I had gained a new fresh perspective on the Motown sound. I now understand what the sound really meant, how it was deliberate and fascinating. I feel as if I have a family I never knew. If you love the Motown music and you hear this story, it is truly heart warming, bittersweet. But it definitely defines the value of the "sound". I was not disappointed.

  • Entertaining as well as educational for any music fan

    If you ever thought that Marvin Gaye-Stevie Wonder-The Temptations Dianna Ross and the Supremes and many more Motown greats had their own bands....think again, The Funk Brothers played on all their songs at Motown. This DVD pays homage to the greats like Earl White and James Jameson who were just a part of the Funk Brothers. This is outstanding for any Motown fan weather you know who the Funk Brothers were or especially if you did not.

  • MoTown music and the bands

    Both movies are great. Learn who the people were that produced the music called Motown. The life of The Temptations is a wonderful story on how they started, and the way their lives ended. With only one still performing. Mr Otis Williams, an amazing man
