20 Feet From Stardom

[Drunk Monk]

If you love rock, this is an excellent documentary. The greatest 'unsung' singers of rock, Darlene Love, Merry Clayton, Lisa Fischer, Tata Vega, Claudia Lennear and others finally get some of their due. Admittedly, I've always leaned to the back-up singers - Stevie, Judy Mowatt, even MIA (well, Madonna tried to get MIA as her back-up singer and see where that got her). Regardless of that, this doc is well worth the watch - the back story on Clayton's 'Gimme Shelter' from her and Mick is astonishing.

This is my pick for the Oscar for Best Doc.
