The Admiral Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Fantastic documentary about backing singers, with some great old footage and new interviews, including with Sting, Jagger and Springsteen. Some bitter sweet tales of 'almost' too. I've since learned it won the Oscar for best documentary last year. Some are still working, others are completely out of music, but it sheds new light on the contribution a great backing vocalist can make to a song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWyUJcA8Zfo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
