A great educational, entertaining dvd....

[Richard King]

Last week I picked up "Standing in the Shadows of Mowtown", the history of the "Funk Brothers", the band members who played on all those old Motown hits in the '60's-early '70's. Today I found the time to watch it. Great production, some excellent music recently recorded with many original members, excellent story and tremendous fun. Seeing these guys in their 60s and 70's playing as they did many years was just great. This should be a homework assignment in any high school music classes today. Any of our younger members who have an interest in music should order this in and enjoy. Featuring performances by Gerald Levert (who?), Joan Osborne, Meshell Ndegeocello (who?), Bootsy Collins :D, Ben Harper, Chaka Khan, etc. doing old Motown hits backed by the Funk Brothers. Turn the music up and enjoy.

I'm ordering "Standing in the Shadows of Motown" based on your recommendation, Richard. Those were the golden years of Motown. I'm pleased to report I survived those days :smoking: with no lasting damage. :rolleyes:
