Today's Subjects: ----------------- Documentary - "Twenty Feet From Stardom" [Phil Sainty Subject: Documentary - "Twenty Feet From Stardom" Just a quick note to say that this film about backing vocalists is fantastic, and I'm pretty sure that everyone on Ecto would love it. Go see it. It isn't in general release everywhere, but that'll depend on where you are, so keep an eye out for it. It was part of a film festival for me, so it might be likewise for you; but it sounds like it started screening a couple of months ago in the U.S. ? Lisa Fischer is especially jaw-dropping. One of my favourite visuals in the film was from a recording session with Sting, watching Jo Lawry (herself wonderfully-talented) watching Lisa doing solo vocals, with a combination of awe and joy clearly written on her face, as if she had the best seat in the house, out of any house, ever. - -Phil ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V16 #859 ***************************
