Dave Moore Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Really looking forward to seeing this. Think we'll see props for the Andantes, Sweethearts of Sigma or Sweet Inspirations? Surely?Regards,Dave Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Roburt Posted May 12, 2013 Author Share Posted May 12, 2013 (edited) They seem to have selected mainly black female backing singers who have gone out on tour behind rock & pop acts (though Stevie Wonder figures a lot in the film but he had a massive pop profile as well as a soul scene presence). So I think studio backing groups such as those that Dave mentions will get less of a mention as I believe there are trying to pull in audiences that have an interest in the likes of Bruce Springsteen, the Stones, Sting, Elton John, etc. 2nd mention in a thread here for Bruce Springsteen in a couple of days !!! The guys 'soul profile' is on the rise !! Edited May 12, 2013 by Roburt Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Jordirip Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 on the subject of backing vocals on "i got the fever" by the prophets/creation the backing vocals are as strong as an ox.i wonder how many singers over the years have been upstaged by superior backing vocalists Most of the above mentioned rock and pop acts I would imagine.

Illusive Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Watched this on DVD tonight and loved every minute of it. An astonishing array of talent on display and lots of snippets of information that thrilled the anorak in me ! Well worth a watch in comparison to much of the dross out there.
