Backup singers live in a world that lies just beyond the spotlight. Their voices bring harmony to the biggest bands in popular music, but we've had no idea who these singers are or what lives they lead, until now.

Respectfully, Claudia Leanner in her Ikettes days could sit on my face.

rewatched [with my mom :)] because my music teacher said she isn’t able to show this anymore and that makes me really sad because this documentary is really fucking great at showcasing the importance of black singers on music and how the industry really hasn’t respected them as they should be. also showcased how bad phil spector was and fuck phil spector we need more anti- phil propaganda

had to rewatch this for a class, it’s not bad, but it’s just not as interesting as I wish it was :(

Judith Hill being featured so prominently positioned her as the next great backup singer which...feels like something that will not stand the test of time.
