Back-up singers are not only overshadowed, but often overlooked, in the creation of some of pop’s greatest music, despite often having better voices than the artists they’re backing. This documentary focuses on four women - one who has finally broken through (Darlene Love), two who have never been given their due (Merry Clayton and Lisa Fischer), and one who is still striving to make her mark in music (Judith Hill). Featuring interviews with a Who’s Who of modern popular music, including Patti Austin, Sheryl Crow, Mick Jagger, Cissy Houston, Bette Midler, Bruce Springsteen, and Sting, this film aims to correct the direction the spotlight has been shining for so many years. Winner of the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature in 2014.
