20 Feet From Stardom, film review: Let's hear it for the unsung voices
(12A) Morgan Neville, 91 mins
Geoffrey Macnab
Geoffrey Macnab is the author of several books on film
Thursday 27 March 2014
20 Feet from Stardom, this year's Oscar-winner for Best Documentary, is both rousing, upbeat fare... and a film steeped in a strange sense of yearning and regret. It is a celebration of back-up singers.
Their voices are heard on countless well-known songs but their names remain unknown to any but music-world insiders. Their lack of recognition has nothing to do with their talent, which invariably eclipses that of the stars they accompany. It is as if they are held back by invisible strings. Few of them make that journey from the back of the stage to its centre.
"It's a bit of a walk. That walk to the front is... complicated," rock star Bruce Springsteen muses on the anonymity that these singers both resent and seem half to relish. They have huge voices and big stage presences. Many behave like divas and aspire to have solo careers but they can't escape their place in the margins.
The director Morgan Neville (who has made documentaries about Johnny Cash and Muddy Waters) has assembled 20 Feet from Stardom in a random and impressionistic way.
There is no particular sense of chronology or structure as he flits between archive footage and contemporary interviews with singers and some of the big names they've worked for, among them Springsteen, Mick Jagger and Stevie Wonder.
Back-up artists who became stars don't seem to interest him. He deals only in passing with Luther Vandross (who sang on David Bowie's "Young Americans") and doesn't even mention Rita Coolidge. Most of his interviewees here are female, African-American and come from a gospel background. They grew up singing in church choirs and associate music with religion, community and transcendence. That's one reason, it is suggested, why they are not (overly) preoccupied with worldly success.
20 Feet from Stardom isn't polemical in tone and yet it hints at the racism and sexism that may have kept the subjects here in the background. Táta Vega is a prodigiously talented soul singer, compared by many to Aretha Franklin – and that's the problem. The music industry of the 1970s only had room for "one Aretha" and Vega's attempts at a solo career soon fizzled out as a consequence.
Other back-up singers were exploited for their looks: dressed in skimpy outfits, made to dance and used as "eye candy". Ike Turner, one interviewee tells us, regarded himself as the pimp and his wife (Tina Turner) and back-up singers as "the women who worked for him".
Neville relishes the contrast between the lives the singers led in their younger years and their humdrum existences today. The supremely glamorous Claudia Lennear, supposedly the inspiration for the Rolling Stones' "Brown Sugar", is now a dutiful foreign language teacher. Another singer, Darlene Love, tells a poignant story about how she had quit the business and was working as a maid. One day, as she was cleaning her employer's house, she heard one of her songs on the radio. She had performed lead vocals on several hits, among them "He's a Rebel", but claims that producer Phil Spector denied her recognition. Hearing the song prompted her to re-enter the music business – and, second time round, she finally made the leap to stardom and was even inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
The flip side to the disappointment the singers feel about their failure to make the journey to centre stage is their sense of relief. They are engaging and joyful interviewees partly because they don't suffer from any of the neuroses that come with fame. They don't have to worry about record sales falling or fans losing faith in them or sleazy music company bosses or fading looks. One, only partially tongue in cheek, states that if she had achieved the solo career she once hoped for, she would have ended up committing suicide. "There is a power to what we do," one declares.
The public may not have heard of them but stars such as Sting, Joe Cocker and Mick Jagger can't hide their awe at their abilities. (The Brits were often quicker to recognise these women's talents than their fellow Americans.)
At first glance, 20 Feet from Stardom is a surprising choice to win the Best Documentary Oscar. It doesn't have any of the formal daring, contentiousness or political thrust of rival nominees such as The Act of Killing, Dirty Wars or The Square. This is a straightforward, interview- and archive-based film of the type that turns up regularly on TV. It is nostalgic, funny and full of clips of its subjects in full voice. That, though, is only part of its appeal. Perhaps without intending to, the film-makers have also stumbled on a rich and complicated story about talent, ambition and the nature of success.
It is naive to think that performers such as Merry Clayton, Judith Hill (a former duet partner to Michael Jackson) and Claudia Lennear aren't interested in stardom. The paradox is that the music itself gets in the way. What makes them happy is, as one observer puts it, "when all the harmonies ping".
There's a wonderful scene in which the singers, many of them now in stout late middle-age, come together at the microphone for an impromptu recording. They haven't rehearsed and yet their pitch is perfect. They are capable of performing astonishing solos but they always do so as part of a group. The recognition that matters most to them is that of their peers. They may not have the ruthlessness or egotism to make it as stars but they also realise that the effect they can achieve together will always outstrip anything they can do on their own.

I love my new armoire! It helped me fulfill my New Year's Resolution...to organize my life. Saves me so much time every morning looking for accessories.

I'm really pleased with this purchase. It hangs nicely on the wall, out of the way. Great workmanship, lots of room for most things. I had to purchase an earring tree for my post earrigs but, everything else fits great. This model does have the tray in the bottom that holds a lot of your smaller items, unlike some of the others.

Wow - this is much more substantial than I expected. I haven't "installed" it yet but know just where I'll put it when I get the time.

We like the product. It could use more ear ring capabilities but everything was better than expected.

I was very pleased with the quality of this jewelry armoire. The workmanship is great. It is very sturdy and looks great hanging among antique oak furniture. It holds so much.

I love this jewelry box. My husband removed the door before hanging ,as suggested by a previous customer, which made it much easier to hang. It holds soooo much and looks great on the wall. Highly recommend!!

Very nice for all my jewelry. I can finally have everything in one place and feel safe that it is bolted to the wall and can lock! Putting on the wall is a little awkward, takes two people, it is very heavy.

I received the armoire and opened it. It was all put together which made me happy. The hard part was hanging it on the wall. It was very good quality and has keys to lock it. I should have had help in hanging it, but there was no one available.

I love the fact that I can have an attractive place to store my jewelry and has a dual function of providing me with a mirror also. Love it, Love it, Love it!!

Product arrived very quickly. Very sturdy coat rack. The top turns for easier access to all items hung on the rack. Can put this item together in less than 5 minutes.

This coat rack does the job for me at work. Does not take up too much space. Almost missed seeing the screw that one screws in from the bottom to keep legs from falling off.

I am very pleased with the quality and appearance of this jewelry armoire, especially for the price. The mirror is beveled, the interior is covered in a very nice black velvet, and the finish is very acceptable. I finally will be able to easlily access my jewelry in one location. Delivery was prompt and the packaging was very good.

would have rated 5 stars but the one side had a patch job where a knot or something fell out -but for the price and free shipping its still was a good deal and we are pleased with it. The only thing is they should of had a section for post earrings to display.(they can be put in the bottom section but not displayed. I didnt need that section. Otherwise it displays wonderfully and holds a great deal. I love it! worth the price!

I bought the carson oak armoire for my wife and she loves it. Pleanty of room to organize her jewlrey. It looks great on the wall. Only thing is: don't trust the cheap screws/anchors they provide. I bought heavy duty toggle bolts to hang it.

This is an extremely well made piece of furniture. Heavy solid wood, beautiful beveled mirror. It serves the purpose of being a full length mirror as well as jewelry storage. Plenty of room for Bling! The wood is a very rich color. A unique piece - perfect in bedroom! I am very pleased!

I bought this wall mounted jewelry case for my daughter's new house. It fits in beautifully with her master bath oak cabinets. The inside of the case is lined in black velvet and has lots of storage room. She is very happy with it. She would give it 5 stars! I just wish it was a little less expensive.

Looks Lovely; Arrived quickly; Installation was simple - although it would be a whole lot easier with 2 people: one to hold armoire in place, while the other drives the screws through the holes and into the wall. Since I did it alone, I set the armoire on a tall console table and used it to hold the armoire in place, while I drove in the screws. It is exactly what I wanted and looks great in my "Country" themed bedroom! Thanks, O.com for another fabulous bargain!

This is beautiful, and the best price on the web. I was extremely pleased with the quality of this fireplace. It had a ding on the top mantle piece, so I called the company and they sent a new top in no time at all. I highly recommend this beautiful fireplace. It is exactly what I was looking for, and the customer service couldn't be beat.
Keeping your jewelry safe and in good condition requires quality jewelry storage. Jewelry boxes feature a variety of designs; some are dainty keepsake boxes and some jewelry armoires are as large as your bedroom furniture. What type of jewelry case or jewelry organizer is right for you? It depends on the size of your jewelry collection and what kind of jewelry storage needs you have. A jewelry armoire is ideal for keeping a group of chains tangle-free, but a small jewelry box or chest can adequately store a large group of rings. As you update and expand your jewelry collection, you'll want to update your jewelry organizer system to match. Jewelry cases feature a variety of styles. Many are beautiful furniture accessories made of oak, rosewood and other fine woods and inlaid with mahogany or mother of pearl. Others have the classic travel-case design, with a carrying handle and leather or fabric exteriors. Use this guide to choose a jewelry box for your collection.
Wood furniture evokes a sense of tradition, harkening back to the days when household goods were not only handmade but often also self-produced. Wood furniture comes in a variety of wood types and finishes to suit any home decor. Of the many woods used, however, there are preferences for certain types of furniture. This glossary will help you buy wood furniture by sorting out which kinds of wood are best for a particular type of furniture.
It's a common misconception that you need a lamp or a piece of art to complete a room. While those are both good choices, the same function can be filled with an elegant end table. Convenient, functional and at least semi-portable, living room accent tables are quickly becoming the accessory of choice in all types of homes. The right accent table can complement any style and provide an added storage area in even the smallest of spaces. Keep reading for the answers to frequently asked questions about accent tables.

Thank goodness I found this longer mat for my double front doors. It was even better when I discovered it came with a "color" choice. I am very happy with the look and function of the mat. The only downside is that it does shed some and makes enough mess that you have to occasionally sweep up the fibers that have shed.

Its small when put on the wall. Wish it was bigger would be a better work of art.

This arrived and I was very excited. My husband and I tookabout 30 minutes to put it together. (There was one area that was metal and not threaded but we were able to make it work) I put it against the wall and lit the gel. It was great how nice it looked and how authentic it seemed with the gel fuel. I was surprise how well it heated the area. We actually had to open the windows to get some of the heat out since I wanted to test the full time of the gel cans in the fireplace. (I did not buy this for heat but rather the look) I only use one or two now and it looks just as good. I have gotten a lot of compliments on the fireplace. This was money very well spent.

Flashback to the 2013 CrossFit Games: Seven Great Moments to Remember
Sure, most of the attention stays on the individual events, but the team events are always a huge crowd-pleaser. Hack's Pack UTE, took the title in 2012 and returned this year just as strong to crush the field by more than 100 points in the overall standings. After together tackling 10 grueling events, like the Stadium Relay, the Burden Run, and the Ascending Chipper, Hack's Pack UTE tallied up an incredible seven top-three finishes, four of which were 1st place wins. Team competition involves strong strategy, playing to each others' strengths, and working cohesively; and the camaraderie and teamwork they demonstrated was both inspiring and energizing to experience. The competition in 2014 better be ready to take them on once again.

There is no DNCC. The three committees are the DNC, the DCCC, and the DSCC. This ad is from the Senate committee.
I think the Republicans have figured out how to time-travel, except somehow their brains got stuck in the 1950s.
Still not quite right, Greg. It's not the D-trip. It's the DSCC (i.e., Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee)
Yeah, that's what I said … DSCC. Whadya think I said?
But, if he's a Republican and she's a Democrat, why is he on the Left and she's on the Right?
She was on the left from her point of view.
Sungudogo is a little known zoological mystery, an "undiscovered" primate living in the remote and rugged region of the eastern Congo, where the Central African Rain Forest fringes the high walls of the western edge of the Great Rift Valley.
Sometimes called the "fourth African ape," Sungudogo is not a Gorilla, not a Chimpanzee, not a Bonobo, and possibly not even real.
Years ago, Sungudogo drew the interest of the world famous primatologist Dieter Phillips, who was funded by a secret society of "scholars and gentlemen" to launch an expedition to determine the veracity of this mysterious primate. Dieter never returned from that expedition, and as the years passed, the whole story drifted into obscurity.
But the watchers were always watching, always waiting, for clues of the fate of this expedition. When new evidence came to light, the investigation was renewed into the outcome of Phillip's ill fated trek into the Rain Forest. Who better to follow Dieter Phillip's tracks than his former student, aided by an explorer and mercenary familiar with the area, assisted by two willing Congolese park guards?
They were to learn things that went beyond their wildest imaginations, and they would discover secrets about Phillip's expedition, about the rift valley, about themselves, about humanity, that they would never be able to share but that would change their lives forever.

The post Bulls Ecstatic Derrick Rose Hasn't Missed Any Games Yet This Season appeared first on SportsPickle.]]>
"You don't want to jinx it," said head coach Tom Thibodeau, "but I'm really starting to think he's 100% recovered. In my wildest dreams, I didn't think he would play all of our games this year. But he has. And we're obviously a better team for it."
Not only has Rose not missed a single game, but the Bulls are undefeated.
"Yeah, 82-0 does start to creep into your thinking a little bit," said Joakim Noah. "Obviously, we have to take things one game at a time, but there's a lot of positive energy going on right now. It feels good."
Rose says he's as excited as anyone about his health.
"Games are different than practice, but I haven't had any problems so far," he said. "A little swelling. Some soreness. But I doubt I'll miss the next game."
Bulls general manager Gar Forman says the team is ready to build for the future with Rose as the centerpiece.
"From everything I've seen, he'll never get hurt again," said Forman. "Can you imagine this team with a healthy Rose, and then if we went out and brought in another big man talent like Greg Oden, who also hasn't been injured in a while? Unstoppable."

The post New York Formally Asks for the San Francisco Giants to be Returned appeared first on SportsPickle.]]>
"I request what is rightfully New York's to be returned," de Blasio wrote to San Francisco mayor Ed Lee. "In these troubling times of the Jets and the Knicks and the Yankees and the Mets, New York needs its champion baseball Giants. Please have them returned by the end of the week to prevent further collection action."
The mayor's letter also cited that the Giants existed in New York for 74 years, while they have played in San Francisco for only 47.
"The team had it's fun on the West Coast for a few years, but for them to really reach their potential, they need to go back to New York," wrote de Blasio. "Everyone knows New York is where it all happens. They're not a true success until they make it here in New York."
Mayor Lee's office said the letter was received, but was promptly discarded.
"The Giants are staying here," said a San Francisco mayor's office spokesperson. "They are a dynasty and they are San Francisco's dynasty. And even if they would leave, it wouldn't be to the cauldron of sports failure that is New York."
De Blasio also followed up with several calls to Mayor Lee's office, all of which went to voicemail.
"Please, Ed. Please," New York's mayor said on one voicemail. "Don't make me beg. Jeter is gone. The Knicks are terrible. The Jets are worse. I don't think Eli has another fluke Super Bowl in him. Please, Mr. Mayor. Give us some hope. Please."

The post LeBron: "It's just now hitting me that I chose to play in Cleveland again" appeared first on SportsPickle.]]>
"I could have played anywhere. But I chose to play in Cleveland. Cleveland," said James, looking down and not making eye contact with a group of reporters. "Cleveland, Ohio. I chose to play here over every other city. I did. I chose that. It's not all some dream. I was drafted here this time. I chose it. I chose … Cleveland."
Sources close to LeBron say that as the days approached his first game back in Cleveland, he has been staring off into space a lot and sweating.
"I guess it's nerves? Or maybe excitement?" said a longterm friend. "It looks a lot like second thoughts and regret, but this was a decision LeBron willingly made, so that can't be it."
LeBron's weight has dropped significantly since the end of last season. He has also been sleeping a lot.
"I asked him if he was depressed," said head coach David Blatt. "He shook his head no. But when he did that, he shook some tears out of his eyes and they rolled down his cheeks."
James confirmed that he has been sleeping a lot.
"What the saying?" he asked. "You have to sleep in the bed you've made? That's my life now. Every day. Here in Cleveland. Cleveland."

The post Derek Jeter to Serve as Honorary DH for Game 7 of Royals-Giants World Series appeared first on SportsPickle.]]>
"It's a fitting end to Derek's final season to have him involved in the final game of the season," Selig said in a statement. "Both teams pushed this to a Game 7, no doubt wanting to make Derek's final season last as long as possible, and I want to reward them — and baseball fans all across the world — with one final Derek Jeter game."
Jeter will bat second and play DH for both the Royals and Giants, and each of his at-bats will be preceded by a special gift presentation. The Yankees legend said he did not expect one more game.
"I thought my career was over, but I'm really honored by this opportunity," said Jeter. "I'm not the kind of guy to seek out these sort of things or special ceremonies or year-long retirement tours or commemorative shoes with all of my accomplishments printed all over them or fawning words written with my number in the place of letters. But it would simply be selfish to turn them down. So tonight I'll be playing for the Royals and Giants in the biggest baseball game of the year. It's special."
Giants manager Bruce Bochy did not seem overly pleased with Selig's decision.
"At least the Royals have to have him in their lineup, too," said Bochy. "And thank God we don't have to put him at shortstop."
Game 7 of the Giant2-Royal2 World 2erie2 is tonight at 8:07 p.m. ET.

One of our readers, who must be a HUGE Shadowman fan, recently sent an email to Valiant Entertainment, the folks who own the rights to the N64 installment of the game, asking if the game would grace the Virtual Console. Upon sending the email, he received a surprising response:
"Thank you for your interest. Yes, we have been speaking with Nintendo regarding Shadowman for the Virtual Console. Although, they have a ton of games to review and select from, Shadowman is on their radar."
So they've been speaking to Nintendo? Great, we guess, as the more game to grace the Virtual Console the better. We cannot comment on whether we're excited or not, never having played the game ourselves. How many of you have played the game and would like to see it on the Virtual Console?
[Thanks Foetoid!]

The children of Clio Goldsmith and
Mark Shand, Talitha Puri Negri and
Ayesha Shand, were always going to know how to rock. When they
got together to celebrate their 30th (Talitha's) and 18th
(Ayesha's) birthdays, friends flew in from Rome, Paris and New York
to witness the madness. It started on the Fulham Road in the shadow
of a giant sparkly shoe and martini glass. Over dinner, Mark
reminisced about how he had spent his own 18th birthday - locked in
a prison cell in Tibet after committing some hair-raising offence.
Talitha and Ayesha led their friends on to the West End for dancing
at the Cuckoo Club, and then for more dancing at Loulou's. Ayesha
did eventually return home, at 6am. Stoically, she made some
breakfast and then 'got on with the rest of the day'.

Al-Qaida claims rare attacks in northern Iraq
Al-Qaida's local branch in Iraq has claimed responsibility for a spate of suicide attacks last month in the northern, relatively peaceful self-ruled Kurdish region.
The Associated Press
Al-Qaida's local branch in Iraq has claimed responsibility for a spate of suicide attacks last month in the northern, relatively peaceful self-ruled Kurdish region.
The Sept. 29 bombings killed at least six security forces and wounded more than 30 people.
In a statement posted Monday on a militant website, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant says the attacks were in retaliation to statements recently made by the regional President Massoud Barzani expressing readiness to help Syrian Kurdish militias.
Al-Qaida-linked militants in Syria have been fighting ethnic Kurds in Syria's northeast.
The authenticity of the statement could not be independently confirmed, but it was consistent with earlier al-Qaida statements.

Drones, Privacy, & Arizona Law

North Leigh have boosted their Southern League campaign by signing former Bolton Wanderers and Aberdeen striker Michael Bird.
Bird, 30, started his career at the north west club before an impressive trial took him to Scottish Premier League side Dons on a free transfer.
After two appearances for the Dons, he had spells at Glenavon in Northern Ireland, Northwich Victoria, Witton Albion, Caernarfon Town and Warrington Town.
Bird was coaching at Blackpool's centre of excellence before a job change took him south.
Millers' boss Mark Gee has also recuited former Swindon keeper Matt Bulman, ex-Southampton youngster Callum McNish, and Conor Ingram, who was released by Oxford United where he was a second-year trainee.
Bulman, 27, is a highly experienced keeper who also had spells at Salisbury City, Forest Green Rovers, Swindon Supermarine and Cirencester before switching to Oxford City last season.
McNish, 22, started his career at the Saints, before joining Exeter City.
He signed for Braintree Town and had a spell at Basingstoke Town before switching to City.
Left-sided defender Matt Woodley, the younger brother of U's forward Aaron, has re-joined Didcot Town where he spent some of last season.
Most of last season's squad have re-signed for the new campaign, namely Brian Bowles, Jon Else, Scott Gee, Andy Gunn, Stuart Hole, Michael Hopkins, Elliott Osborne-Ricketts, Kieran Sanders, Wayne Turk, Zak Westlake and Morgan Williams.

Hi, I noticed your name on the list of Burda Sewing Clubs. I'm from Cumbria too, near Kendal in fact, and would love to join a group if there is one going in the area. I mostly sew clothes for family members and friends. I've just upgraded my Janome sewing machine to a model with zillions of stitches I've yet to try.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
The Coaching Road Of Andy Murray
by Paul on 09/13/07 at 09:44 AM ET
Comments (0)
from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch,
In the winter of 1998-99, Andy Murray coached a prep hockey team in Minnesota during the week and on weekends flew to Koln, Germany, to be general manager of a team there.
And that's only one of the zany details of his hockey odyssey. In a three-year span, Murray went from coaching the Canadian National Team to Shattuck-St. Mary's School to the Los Angeles Kings.
"If you look at the script of my coaching career, you kind of say, 'Did he have a plan?'" Murray said.

Confederations Cup: Brazil must be accepted as genuine contenders after victory over Spain
Brazil are lucky to have probably the world's two most accomplished centre-backs
Monday 01 July 2013
There was some legitimate doubt before but Brazil must be accepted as genuine World Cup contenders after winning the Confederations Cup on Sunday night.
Their 3-0 mauling of Spain in Rio de Janeiro was not just their best performance for years – although it certainly was that – but also seemed to mark a moment of development or growth for a team which has been drifting recently.
This Confederations Cup was always hoped to be Brazil's preparation, of their grounds, their infrastructure and their team. It has also led to convulsions off the pitch, whose outcomes may be far-reaching. But while the public are angry with the football administration, the football team themselves are as much the vessel for national hopes as they always were.
Inside the stadiums, the support for Brazil was fervent and ferocious and Spain, the most successful and accomplished international team of all time, were overwhelmed by the occasion. This does not happen often. But they were running into a host nation who, for the first time since at least the 2007 Copa America, had found the right combination and cohesion of players.
This, ultimately, was what Luiz Felipe Scolari was brought in for, after the consecutive disappointments of the 2010 World Cup, 2011 Copa America and 2012 Olympic games which cost first Dunga and then Mano Menezes their jobs.
But, last night, Brazil played with a focus, intensity and freedom that had been evading them for years. Like most Brazil teams, though, it draws its force from one remarkable individual. Neymar was the best player last night and the best player in the tournament, winning the 'Golden Ball' and scoring his fourth special goal in five games with a ferocious drive into the near top corner.
Neymar ran at Spain all evening and they did not like it. Alvaro Arbeloa was booked and taken off at half-time and Gerard Pique sent off in the second half as they struggled to cope with his unique style at speed.
Unlike Robinho, the last great hope to come out of Santos, Neymar was always fully aware of his defensive duties too. Brazil did what Spain so often do to others, pressing from the front and inducing errors. Hulk, on the right wing, is a powerful presence while Fred led the line selflessly and efficiently. He is never going to be Rivaldo but there are worse things to specialise in than dirty goals and he forced in crucial openers against Uruguay in the semis and Spain in the final.
Behind them is Oscar, who may look scrawny in the Premier League but is a tigerish dynamo in a yellow Brazil shirt, and a solid base in Paulinho and Luis Gustavo. But the heart of this Brazil team, and maybe its surprising strength, is at centre-back. For all the lazy clichés about defending in Brazil, they are lucky enough to have probably the world's two most accomplished centre-backs.
Thiago Silva and David Luiz were both brilliant again on Sunday night, shutting down Spain with their brilliant foresight, assurance, technique and athleticism. With the exception of a few minor panics against Uruguay, they were excellent all tournament and Luiz's crucial clearance from Pedro at 1-0 came just minutes before Neymar doubled Brazil's lead. Firmly in place ahead of Julio Cesar, who had an impeccable tournament, they provide a foundation which not many opponents will be able to break through.
Brazil do probably lack the depth of Germany or Spain, or the tournament experience, or the range of goal-scorers. But anything can happen in tournament football and no European team is yet to win a World Cup in the Americas.
