Twenty Feet From Stardom, 3 Stars

This movie won the 2014 Oscar for Best Documentary Feature and is the story about back up singers to famous lead bands. If you like music, it's worth watching.

While the stars listed are Mick Jagger, Bruce Springstein, Bette Midler, etc, the real stars are unknowns like Darlene Love (Lethal Weapon series), Merry Clayton (a small, powerful, prescient role in the 1987 Maid to Order), Lisa Fischer, Judith Hill and Tata Vega. And though the story is about how they did or didn't get recognized, it's also about the part that timing, circumstances, and luck played.

You can find this on Netflix and I recommend it.
