Guest Dante Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 Hi all, I've been off this thingy for a while, so I decided to post something to get back in the track. About a month ago there was a rock movies festival over here. You know, DYlan, Nirvana, Spinal Tap and stuff. But they also showed Standing in the shadows of Motown, a documentary about the FUnk Brothers. There was about 8 people in the room, but who cares It has some good interviews and anecdotes about the Studio A and all the characters. It also features new performances with various singers and stuff... Sooo... any of you guys has seen it? What d'ya think? Is there any other documentaries or fiction films about soul worth seeing???? Cheers from mexico, Dante

Cheers from mexico, Dante Wouldn't think there's anyone on here who hasn't seen it Dante, it even got a limited cinema release. You should be able to find it in any large retail outlet or online. Magic film though.

Guest Goldwax Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 I was lucky enough to attend the world premier at the Harlem Apollo - the remaining members even performed after the screening. One of the best music documentaries ever IMO - a good reminder to pick it up on DVD

Ernie Andrews Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 Went to see the film the night before my daughter was born- didnt like it then but had other things on my mind Since bought the DVD and actually quite like it
FrankM Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 (edited) Was there a book of the same/similar name but about Jack Ashford ? Anyone know where I can get a copy? Thanks in advance Slutsky, Allan, Standing in the Shadows of Motown. Hal Leonard Corporation, 1989 the Book was about James Jamerson and his bass playing. It included bass charts and a CD of a number of people he influenced including paul mccartney playing Jamerson's bass lines, There's some reviews here https://www.amazon.com/Standing-Shadows-Mot...n/dp/0881888826 Ignore the bit about LA sessioneers playing on Motown hit singles. Jack Ashford's book is called Motown The view from the bottom https://www.amazon.co.uk/Motown-View-Bottom...d/dp/1904408206 Edited November 2, 2007 by Felonious Munk
