the funk brothers...standing in the shadows.PISSED OFF

hmmm funny old film

i really dug them and its a brilliant story but the music.....

or rather the singers...WHY????

bloody joan osbourne and ben harper..surely there must have been a cue around the block of musicians wanting 2 play

where was stevie wonder???perhaps they had copyright probs as im was gutted there was no old footage of stevie,marvin etc

ive got nothing against the singers who were on(apart from chaka and bootsy)but i just thought they were so.....beneath the talent of the FUNK BROTHERS

Yeah, that always bothered me a bit....at first I thought they did it to attract younger people to The Funk Bros. (but that don't explain Joan Osborne)...

Shoot me with a gun at close range. I thought Joan and Ben were among the best performances of the whole tour/film.

Ha ha what "younger people" you talking about? Both have a following with a mid to late 20s and older crowd, though typically white from the jamband scene.

Haven't seen Standing In The Shadows lately, but I thought they showed an admittedly short clip of Jamerson during a live gig with Marvin.

Anyone that grooves to a Motown tune is giving props to The Brothers whether they know it or not.
