second that. it's a brilliantly done movie and a chance to get some serious education about the history of Detroit music. i could have done without joan osborne personally, but it was amazing to see what became of everyone after all these years.

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" http://www.standingintheshadowsofmotown.com/ MEK
