If you would like to branch out from the onslaught of summer movies filled with special effects and superheroes, we would like to suggest “Twenty Feet of Stardom”
In this film, award-winning director Morgan Neville shines a spotlight on the untold true story of the backup singers, the unsung heroes behind some of the greatest musical legends of the 21st century. Along with rare archival footage and a peerless soundtrack, TWENTY FEET FROM STARDOM boasts intimate interviews with Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Wonder, Mick Jagger and Sting to name just a few. However, these world-famous figures take a backseat to the diverse array of backup singers—including Darlene Love, Merry Clayton, Claudia Lennear, Lisa Fischer, and Judith Hill—whose lives and stories take center stage in the film.
The movie opens this Friday in L.A. and New York and across the country later this summer. Watch for it in a theater near you. You won’t be disappointed!
