Twenty Feet from Stardom – 7

A “fun-fun-fun” movie with great music and genuinely heartwarming cameos by Bruce Springsteen, Sting, David Bowie, Stevie Wonder and Mick Jagger. Although nominally about them, the backup singers Darlene Love, Lisa Fischer, Claudia Kennear, et al., somehow remained in the background. I couldn’t figure out if the movie had a “point” – how someone becomes a background singer, why someone remains a background singer, what makes a good backup singer – but there was so much pleasure in watching them work and hearing the stars (all men) laud them, that it hardly mattered.
