Beneath the ground, the wooden casket I am trapped in is being lowered deeper and deeper into the cold, dark earth. Fear overtakes me as I fall into a paralytic state. I can hear the dirt being shoveled over me. My heart pounds through my chest. I can’t scream, and if I could, who would hear me? Just as the final shovel of soil is being packed tightly over me, I convulse out of my nightmare into the sweat- and urine-soaked bed in the small apartment on the island of Manhattan that my family calls home. Shaken and disoriented, I make my way out of the tiny back bedroom into the pitch-dark living room, where my mother and father sleep on a convertible couch. I stand at the foot of their bed just staring … waiting.

  • Directed by Morgan Neville Produced by Gil Friesen Produced by Caitrin
    Directed by Morgan Neville Produced by Gil Friesen Produced by Caitrin Rogers WORLD PREMIERE U.S. DOCUMENTARY COMPETITION SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL 2013 Running Time: 90 minutes | Language: English SYNOPSIS Millions know their voices, but no one knows their names. In his compelling new film TWENTY FEET FROM STARDOM, award-winning director Morgan Neville shines a spotlight on the untold true story of the backup singers behind some of the greatest musical legends of the 21st century. Triumphant and heartbreaking in equal measure, the film is both a tribute to the unsung voices who brought shape and style to popular music and a reflection on the conflicts, sacrifices and rewards of a career spent harmonizing with others. These gifted artists span a range of styles, genres and eras of popular music, but each has a uniquely fascinating and personal story to share of life spent in the shadows of superstardom. Along with rare archival footage and a peerless soundtrack, TWENTY FEET FROM STARDOM boasts intimate interviews with Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Wonder, Mick Jagger and Sting to name just a few. However, these world-famous figures take a backseat to the diverse array of backup singers whose lives and stories take center stage in the film. DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT About two years ago, I sat down with Gil Friesen, a longtime music industry veteran from A&M Records, whom I only knew by reputation. He told me he wanted to make a film about backup singers. He didn’t know what the film was going to be, but he knew there was something intriguing in there.

  • 114 S.Ct. 1164 Supreme Court of the United States Luther R. CAMPBELL
    114 S.Ct. 1164 Supreme Court of the United States Luther R. CAMPBELL aka Luke Skyywalker, et al., Petitioners, v. ACUFF–ROSE MUSIC, INC. No. 92–1292. | Argued Nov. 9, 1993. | Decided March 7, 1994. Opinion Justice SOUTER delivered the opinion of the Court. We are called upon to decide whether 2 Live Crew’s commercial parody of Roy Orbison’s song, “Oh, Pretty Woman,” *572 may be a fair use within the meaning of the Copyright Act of 1976, 17 U.S.C. § 107 (1988 ed. and Supp. IV). Although the District Court granted summary judgment for 2 Live Crew, the Court of Appeals reversed, holding the defense of fair use barred by the song’s **1168 commercial character and excessive borrowing. Because we hold that a parody’s commercial character is only one element to be weighed in a fair use enquiry, and that insufficient consideration was given to the nature of parody in weighing the degree of copying, we reverse and remand. I In 1964, Roy Orbison and William Dees wrote a rock ballad called “Oh, Pretty Woman” and assigned their rights in it to respondent Acuff–Rose Music, Inc. See Appendix A, infra, at 1179. Acuff–Rose registered the song for copyright protection. Petitioners Luther R. Campbell, Christopher Wongwon, Mark Ross, and David Hobbs are collectively known as 2 Live Crew, a popular rap music group.1 In 1989, Campbell wrote a song entitled “Pretty Woman,” which he later described in an affidavit as intended, “through comical lyrics, to satirize the original work....” App. to Pet.

To some extent, it was true. James did find inspiration for much of his life’s work in his emotional torment and the many years he spent fighting drug addiction and depression. And he did hail from an affluent, musically talented family that could afford to send its progeny to exclusive prep schools and expensive private mental hospitals. But now James Taylor in his fifties has the benefit of hindsight to moderate any lingering grudges against a press that persistently pigeonholed him – first as a sort of Kurt Cobain of his day, and much later as a sleepy crooner with his most creative years behind him.

    Lyrics-The Honey Dewdrops These Old Roots The Honey Dewdrops - Amaranth Water rising up in the love-lies-bleeding bed And me oh my standing by, hanging down my head I know my old roots are gonna give out on me Before any love will come and visit with me So many years I waited all violet and red Time’s wound up around me like the vines over the bed Waited for love, my years reached and fell And bled out from me, no time left to tell chorus: Love lies bleeding for a long, long time I am the Amaranth, my color never fades But the crimson touch of my youth, never really stays I should be content to be here for so long Now I’m old and all alone, wish that I were gone One red bloom, then the rest, there’re always more It’s only some flowers, wish I’d something more Wish I’d something more that I could give Something more than time and a fixed red tinge chorus: Love lies bleeding for a long, long time The Honey Dewdrops - Test of Time Hey Baby, the livin’s easy enough got you giving me all your love There’s just sometimes, we have to weather the storm I’d give everything I got so we can’t be torn Hey Honey, what could I do without you? You’ve got me spinning ‘round in circles all night through When times are hard, got me thinkin’ ‘bout the days gone by I remember why we’re together ‘til the day we die chorus: What a fickle thing to feel inside When your other half isn’t along for the ride The lies you told, the fights you fought, they ain’t no crime ‘cause you’ve got the love that stands the test of time Sugar, Sugar, you give me sugar all the
