Millions know their voices, but no one knows their names. This tribute to the backup singers behind some of the 21st century’s greatest musical legends, who brought shape and style to popular music, is a reflection on the conflicts, sacrifices and rewards of a career spent harmonizing with others.
The Oscar®-winning Twenty Feet from Stardom is an absorbing look at the mostly Black and female background singers behind the world’s biggest hits. Casting an adoring light on his subjects, Morgan Neville forms an ode to artistry and an unflinching look at exploitation in the music industry.
