    Standing In The Shadows of Motown [Book & Film] - The Story of How It Began.

    Stumbled across this fascinating video uploaded by the Montgomery County Community College, PA, of a talk with Allan 'Dr licks' Slutsky, author of the book 'Standing In the Shadows of Motown' and behind the idea for the follow up film, which came out in the early 2000s.



    Some very good information on the technical aspects of the film, the challenges of putting together such a project, plus all the pitfalls and downsides that are encountered in such projects.

    I don't recall it being posted here before [the forum even gets a mention!], but it is well worth a watch, and as Mr Slutsky mentions, both projects taught him some valuable life lessons.

    Cheers

    LOVE the film! Joan Osborne steals the show with her version of “What Becomes of the Broken Hearted” - she also toured with The Funk Brothers after the film came out and that was a terrific show…

    Joan Osborne did a great cover of "What Becomes of the Broken Hearted". Marc Broussard does a version that gave me chills the first time I heard it. He's got a lot of "blue eyed soul" in him. I think his version would make Jimmy proud.

    Thanks bradburger for sharing the clip about Allan Slutsky's Standing In The Shadows of Motown. I remember seeing the film when it came out back 2002 [and getting the DVD a few months later] and it will always be one of my favorite documentaries.
