I have been less active hear on my blog because I am gaining more traction over on youtube. But I still love posting photos of record cover I own. So I am a bit torn on where to spend the energy. I do really love making the short video clips - and if you have not seen one - you can by visiting youtube at this link: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/calinder403">http://www.youtube.com/user/calinder403</a> For instance, as of today - my youtube channel has over 135 subscribers, the videos I've created - 106 and counting - have been video collectively over 20,000 times. But I will keep the blog going - but maybe not so much copy and pasting from wiki.</div>

One of Nigel Olsson's Eponymous Albums and this guest post are unrelated. A music fan I read has written a review of a relevant documentary and thought it would be good to share his review here.</div>

<span lang="EN" style="color: #000099; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;"> Run, or dance, but do not walk to see the new documentary “20 Feet From Stardom,” directed by Morgan Neville. If ever there were a film about the “star-maker machinery” (a great turn of phrase, courtesy of Joni Mitchell), this is it. Two other recent films paved the way for this extraordinary documentary—“<b>The </b></span><span style="color: #000099; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;"><b>Wrecking Crew,” by Denny Tedesco,</b> about the LA-based studio and session players who backed hundreds of artists across all genres and the 2002 documentary about the Motown house band for a dozen early years in Detroit and later LA, the Funk Brothers, featured in “Standing in the Shadows of Motown.” </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #000099; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;"> Once again, the summer brings forth a great rock and roll film, this one about the marvelous and transformative women of color (virtually all Black) who sang back up to all the great songs of the 1960’s and 1970’s, before the odd musical marketplace and labor economics of rock and roll squeezed most of them out. Of course, as with rock and roll itself, the gospel roots truly reveal themselves here, as most of these voices were first heard in AME churches and congregations before they were tapped to sing for all of us. </span><span lang="EN" style="color: #000099; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">The best example of this provenance is in the movie, fleetingly: Mable John, an early Raelette—<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IstCEm52YXU" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #000099; text-decoration: none;">Ray Charles</span></a>’ backup singer is shown singing with Charles and his musical director (Billy Preston, the only other musician to play with the Beatles and be named on their records) and preaching in her LA-based <a href="http://www.joyinjesus.org/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #000099; text-decoration: none;">Joy in Jesus</span></a> ministry.</span></div>

The ubiquitous </span><span lang="EN" style="color: #000099; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;"><b>Darlene Love </b>(reduced at one point to being a housekeeper, when she was discouraged and broke) has found well-deserved recognition, appearing on Letterman around Christmastime each year to sing her signature “</span><span style="color: #000099; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)” and being selected for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame two years ago. She sang first with The Blossoms beginning in 1957, and then with the Crystals, on their 1963 hit “Da Doo Ron Ron,” after which her distinctive voice led her to the studio and touring backing vocals for which she is famous. And Lisa </span><span lang="EN" style="color: #000099; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">Fischer—probably the most gifted and versatile of the many featured in the film—earned a 1992 <a href="http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/subjects/g/grammy_awards/index.html?inline=nyt-classifier" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank" title="More articles about the Grammy Awards."><span style="color: #000099; text-decoration: none;">Grammy</span></a> for the single, “How Can I Ease the Pain.” </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #000099; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;"> However, more common is the near-anonymity that has hidden the names Jo Lawry, Judith Hill, <b>Merry Clayton</b>, Claudia Lennear, and Tata Vega from public view and acclaim. (Jo Lawry is the sole white backup singer featured.) We are lucky, as I have pointed out often, that you can go to YouTube for free, plug in their names, and choose from literally dozens of each of these great women in the studio and on tour with the Stones and others. On the issue of near-anonymity and the general unfairness of life, the heir apparent to this genre of overlooked backup artists is the very talented Judith Hill. I do not watch the various talent shows on tv, and here is a reminder why: in May, she was voted off the NBC show “The Voice.” Sometimes, wicked talent alone is not enough, and it requires the star-maker machinery behind the popular song, or the grace of god. </span></div>

Milli Vanilli: Girl You Know It's True. We played two songs from this over the weekend. You know what? They don't suck. The title track - whoever IS actually singing on it - is strong. And the second single - Blame it on the Rain is cool too. A tragic story in the annals of pop music. So much so that Clive devotes an entire chapter to explaining how little he knew of the whole affair.</div>
