Morgan Neville's 20 FEET FROM STARDOM (2013)

The giants on whose shoulders long have stood
The giants whom we hail as household names
Still walk among us, small, less known, and good?
Don't damn them with faint praise. A little fame 
Is overdue these ladies, and right here, 
Right from the ope'ning credits we receive
That message. All the art direction near
Distracts from these great ladies, but, believe:
They still stand out. A fine, harmonic whole, 
This film -- and even when it cuts to stars 
The spotlight stays on Lisa, Darlene. Know
I'll soon hunt down their vinyl from afar!
We're at our best when we are not alone. 
Now someone make this film but for trombone!
