Standing in the Shadows of Motown is a 2002 documentary film directed by Paul Justman. It recounts the story of The Funk Brothers, the uncredited and largely unheralded studio musicians who performed on Motowns' recordings from 1959 to 1972. The film was inspired by the 1989 book Standing in the Shadows of Motown: The Life and Music of Legendary Bassist James Jamerson, a bass guitar instruction book by Allan Slutsky, which features the bass lines of James Jamerson.
The film covers the Funk Brothers' career via interviews with surviving band members, archival footage and still photos, dramatized re-enactments, and narration by actor Andre Braugher. The film also features new live performances of several Motown hit songs, with the Funk Brothers backing up Gerald Levert, Me'shell Ndegeocello, Joan Osborne, Ben Harper, Bootsy Collins, Chaka Khan, and Montell Jordan.
The impetus behind making the film was to bring these influential players out of anonymity. In addition to bassist James Jamerson, The Funk Brothers consisted of the following musicians: Jack Ashford (percussion); Bob Babbitt (bass); Joe Hunter (keyboards); Uriel Jones (drums); Joe Messina (guitar); Eddie Willis (guitar); "Pistol" Allen (drums); "Papa Zita" Benjamin (drums); "Bongo" Brown (percussion); Johnny Griffith (keyboards); Earl Van Dyke (keyboards); and Robert White (guitar).

I was fortunate enough to meet Uriel Jones twice after "Standing In The Shadows of Motown" was released. Such a Humble and generous man, we discussed how the Music impacted me, a young white kid from Canada in the 60s before I too became a Drummer. When I shook his hand at the end of the second time we met, I thanked him for being the Backbeat to the soundtrack of my life. Love to Uriel and all the other fantastic Musicians and Singers who made Motown what it was.6 years ago

I saw this comment from a Barry Leeper that he posted a year ago!"I watched that documentary on "Standing In The Shadows of Motown" and I finally found the answers to a lot of my questions from the 1960's. Who played the instruments on all those great songs back then in the 1960's??I would look on the back of my Supremes, Four Tops, Temptations albums, and more, and never saw any names of people who played the instruments on those songs.A long time ago back in 1970 or 1971 I was at the firehouse talking with some guy and he told me he was a studio musician for Motown, but I never gave it much thought till years later. I just cannot believe how much joy these people gave the world and got little to no recognition for it, that is until the Funk Brothers, or someone put together the documentary Standing in the shadows of Motown.These guys were so darned talented and never got any glory for all their hard work and dedication to their art......the art of making great music!!Someone somewhere reaped the benefit of these guys efforts and never gave it a second thought, oh, sure they got paid per recording session, but nothing else.Funny how a 15 year old kid back in the 1960's knew something was not right, but had no power to do anything about it. Sad but true."6 years ago

I have no idea of my last remarks went through so I'm going to do it again I think I cut it off too soon maybe that comes with age. 53 years I spent and rock and roll radio in 1966 I was driving from Cumberland Maryland to Clarksburg West Virginia common I was in college and still working full-time at a rock radio station in Clarksburg and then Fairmont on the drive back I heard Jimmy Ruffin What Becomes of the broken hearted instantaneously I decided that would be my theme song for the rest of my career and for 53 years it was. it still has tremendous meaning and oh how I appreciate Joan Osborne. I would love to be able to book her into several communities that I have great affection. I thank Motown for making this blue-eyed soul brother somewhat successful in a modicum way. after working in St Louis Pittsburgh St Louis and Atlanta along with smaller communities like Cumberland Maryland Clarksburg West Virginia and Fairmont West Virginia and Huntington West Virginia I may have accrued a few fans so for you this is Todd Raven and the Raven affair for Raven lovers everywhere. may I wish you well and thank you for those who listened. And thanks to the many many groups like Frankie Valli Jay and the Americans The Orleans of Rosetta Hightower and I became great friends Chubby Checker also a friend. we used to run behind his bus together every morning that was embarrassing for me. sorry this is so long and I confess I wrote it for me. be well Raven lovers Wherever You Are and those of you that remain and to my mini raveonettes that appeared in person with me I will love all of you forever. Be well and in my sign off two words bye world The Raven.6 years ago
