20 Feet From Stardom: CHIRP Film Fest Screening

Dir: Morgan Neville; 2013 (91 mins.)

Before giving us honest accounts profiling the lives of Fred Rogers and Anthony Bourdain, Morgan Neville shined a spotlight on a subject frequently left in the dark: the backup singer.

Using archival footage and new interviews, the Oscar-winning 20 Feet from Stardom shares the behind-the-scenes experiences of some of music’s most underrated vocalists, including Merry Clayton, Lisa Fischer, and Darlene Love. It’s a long-overdue tribute to an often-overlooked profession.
