Viewing Notes
Another doc today, but this one is a lot more fun. A look into the lives of back-up singers and the lack of fame and recognition most get. I knew of a couple of the big ones mentioned here, but not the extent of their involvement of pop music over the past 50+ years. A good time with tons of fantastic music.
