20 Feet From Stardom Trailer

There are many recognisable vocalists that have featured on some of the world's biggest duet singles, but often their voice is where the recognition ends. Merry Clayton, Darlene Love, Claudia Lennear, Lisa Fischer and Judith Hill are five backing singers from different musical eras that have struggled to find a place in the spotlight despite being chosen to duet with some of the biggest stars in music history. Darlene worked with many stars including Elvis Presley, while Merry and Lisa were favoured strongly by The Rolling Stones' Mick Jagger, Claudia got to perform with the likes of Tina Turner and Judith is the youngest of the group who was asked to sing alongside Michael Jackson on his This Is It Tour which was subsequently cancelled following his sudden death. Now, those budding artists are being celebrated as stars in their own right with this brand new documentary.

'20 Feet From Stardom' features interviews with Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Wonder, Mick Jagger and Sting among many others, and has been directed by the award-winning Morgan Neville ('Johnny Cash', 'Troubadours', 'The Cool School'). The documentary premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and has been nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary. The movie will reach theatres on March 28th 2014.
