In 1959, Berry Gordy gathered the best musicians
from Detroit's thriving jazz and blues scene to begin
cutting songs for his new record company. Over a
fourteen year period they were the heartbeat on
"My Girl", "Bernadette"
"I Was Made to love Her"
and every other hit from Motown's Detroit era.
By the end of their phenomenal run, this
unheralded group of musicians had played on
more number one hits than the Beach Boys,
the Rolling Stones, Elvis and the Beatles combined
- which makes them the greatest hit machine in
the history of popular music.
They called themselves The funk Brothers.
Forty-one years after they played their first note
on a Motown record and three decades since they
were all together, The funk Brothers reunited back in
Detroit to play their music and tell their unforgettable
story in STANDING IN THE SHADOWS Of MOTOWN.
This documentary mixes performances, interviews and reenactments to celebrate the Funk Brothers, the 1960s soul hitmakers. As the musicians behind the Temptations, the Four Tops and others, the "brothers" were hugely successful, yet relatively anonymous compared to the famous singers they backed. They get their due here, as Richard "Pistol" Allen, Benny "Papa Zita" Benjamin and bandmates discuss their Detroit youth, studio sessions alongside Marvin Gaye and nonstop touring.FEATURED ON THIS DVD
