I need to rent "Standing in the Shadows of Motown" again to give another listen to those wonderful underpaid and underrecognized Funk Brothers.

Interspersed among the interviews and archival footage are a few recent performances, featuring current-day singers fronting a terrific group of surviving Motown studio players at a reunion concert. I wish I could remember which young singer did which songs. Gerald Levert (who has since passed away, at far too young an age) impressed the hell out of me, whichever Motown classic he sang, but the big highlight for me, a brilliant performance that I did not expect, came from Joan Osborne. I'm failing to remember that title, as well, but I know that it was a highly dramatic composition and arrangement, delivered about as powerfully as anyone would ever want.
