The repeated references to a gospel background was very striking.<br />It echoed another documentary a few years ago "Standing in the Shadows of Motown" which chronicled the Funk Brothers who provided so many of the backup instrumentals for the motown artists in the '60's. These artists too had backgrounds in jazz and R&B music.
