Standing in the Shadows of Motown

Taglines
The soul behind the sound.
Overview

In 1959, Berry Gordy Jr. gathered the best musicians from Detroit's thriving jazz and blues scene to begin cutting songs for his new record company. Over a fourteen year period they were the heartbeat on every hit from Motown's Detroit era. By the end of their phenomenal run, this unheralded group of musicians had played on more number ones hits than the Beach Boys, the Rolling Stones, Elvis and the Beatles combined - which makes them the greatest hit machine in the history of popular music. They called themselves the Funk Brothers. Forty-one years after they played their first note on a Motown record and three decades since they were all together, the Funk Brothers reunited back in Detroit to play their music and tell their unforgettable story, with the help of archival footage, still photos, narration, interviews, re-creation scenes, 20 Motown master tracks, and twelve new live performances of Motown classics with the Brothers backing up contemporary performers.

Motown, la véritable histoire

Taglines

Overview

Contrairement à leur nom, leur musique est célèbre dans le monde entier. Connu sous le nom des Funk Brothers, leur tempo inimitable - la soul - se retrouve sur d'innombrables morceaux produits par Motown Records pour des chanteurs aussi légendaires que Diana Ross and The Supremes, The Temptations, Marvin Gaye, The Four Tops, Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson and The Miracles, et beaucoup d'autres. Synonyme de toute une époque, leur musique fut au coeur du mouvement civique, des protestations contre la guerre du Vietnam et des bouleversements sociaux des années 60 et 70. Ces musiciens jouèrent sur plus de disque numéro un du top 50 que les Beatles, les Beach Boys, les Rolling Stones et Elvis Presley réunis.

永遠のモータウン

Taglines

Overview

マーヴィン・ゲイ、スティーヴィー・ワンダー、ジャクソン・ファイブ、スモーキー・ロビンソン&ミラクルズをはじめ、錚々たる有名アーティストを輩出し、数え切れないほどの名曲をヒットチャートに送り込んだモータウン・レーベル。その黄金期を支え、“モータウン・サウンド”を確立したのがレコーディング・バンド“ファンク・ブラザース”だった。しかしレコードに演奏者をクレジットする習慣のなかった60年代当時、彼らの名前が一般に知られることはなく、彼らの偉業が顧みられることはなかった。本作は、そんな彼らの偉大な足跡を、貴重な当時のインタビューや演奏シーンなどを基に振り返る。
