Reviews:

EVERYONE SHOULD SEE THIS MOVIE!! Maybe twice.
I just had the pleasure of seeing the best documentary made about the music world. It’s about the unsung heros of Motown — the musicians. The Funk Brothers played on everyone song that came out of Motown, but no one knows it. Now they will finally get the recognition they so deserve. Allan Slutsky, over the course of 16 years put together a movie that includes archival footage, live interviews with the remaining Funk Brothers, and performance sequences that had the audience almost dancing in the aisles — okay, just rocking in their comfy theater chairs to the beat of the songs. It also includes new versions of many of the most famous songs done by Joan Osborne, Chaka Chan, Ben Harper, and others. During the course of the film the audience applauded at least 3 times after a song, then CHEERED at the end of the film.

This is a poignant film and one that will show how some of the best musicians in the world never got the credit they should have, but this film brings them into the spotlight, and boy do they shine.

Can you tell that I loved this film? It’s impossible not to.
