Standing in the Shadows of Motown

Standing in the Shadows of Motown Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Synopsis:

If you've ever been moved by a Motown hit — "Heat Wave, " "My Girl, " "Reach Out, " "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" - you've been moved by James Jamerson, the bass player who made "The Motown Sound." Six years after his tragic death, Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson, The Who's John Entwistle, and 30 other stars of the pop-music world came together to pay tribute to this genius in the internationally acclaimed book/CD documentary, Standing in the Shadows of Motown. With a foreword by Motown founder Berry Gordy, this package takes you behind the scenes of the hit machine called Motown. Includes more than 92 rarely-seen photographs, hundreds of interviews, an appendix featuring musical scores of Jamerson's greatest Motown performances, and two CDs of spoken tributes and recorded performances by guest artists honoring James Jamerson. Includes bass transcriptions.

Synopsis:

Bassist James Jamerson was the embodiment of the Motown spirit and groove - the invisible entity whose playing inspired thousands. His tumultuous life and musical brilliance are explored in depth through hundreds of interviews, 49 transcribed musical scores, two hours of recorded all-star performances, and more than 50 rarely seen photos in this stellar tribute to behind-the-scenes Motown. Features a 120-minute CD! Allan Slutsky's 2002 documentary of the same name is the winner of the New York Film Critics "Best Documentary of the Year" award!
