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.

Caldonia”—Louis Jordan (1945) Added to the National Registry: 2013 Essay by Stephen Koch (Guest Post)*
“Caldonia”—Louis Jordan (1945) Added to the National Registry: 2013 Essay by Stephen Koch (guest post)* Louis Jordan Original label “Caldonia” film poster, 1945 “Caldonia” (originally titled “Caldonia Boogie”) became one of Louis Jordan and his Tympany Five’s most enduring hits. The song, with its lyrical catchphrase “Caldon-YAH! Caldon-YAH! What makes your big head so hard!?” set America on its ear and spawned endless cover versions, two of which competed directly with Jordan’s version in 1945. The song had been in Jordan’s repertoire since at least the summer of 1944, when he recorded it for use on a December airing of “Jubilee!,” an Armed Forces Radio Service show for African- American servicemen. In January, 1945 he recorded it for Decca, but the label first released a pairing of Jordan’s “Mop! Mop!” and “You Can’t Get That No More” that became a major hit that winter, and perhaps delayed the release of “Caldonia.” In February, Jordan filmed a performance of it for a short film of the same name, which hit theaters in March. In late Feburary, white bandleader Woody Herman recorded a modern jazz-tinged arrangement by Ralph Burns, who’d heard Jordan perform it live. Herman’s version hit the stores at about the time that African-American bandleader Erskine Hawkins recorded a version for RCA-Victor at the end of March. Decca, perhaps feeling the pressure, released Jordan’s definitive small group version at almost the same time that Hawkins’ disc came out in mid-April. Surprisingly, all three versions of the tunes were hits.

Photo by Richard Strauss, Smithsonian Institution Rhythm and Blues 53 Tell It Like It Is by Mark Puryear In 1964 The Dixie Cups®, a female vocal trio from New Orleans, crooned out a cheerful version of “Chapel of Love” and knocked the Beatles from their number one spot on the pop charts. A year later, the trio released “Iko Iko,” a song first released in 1954 by James “Sugar Boy” Crawford as “Jock-A-Mo,” whose lyrics recount the meeting of two groups of Mardi Gras Indians. Since then, this song has been cov- ered by artists from the Grateful Dead to Cyndi Lauper, and continues to move new generations with its infectious New Orleans rhythms. The career of The Dixie Cups, and their direct and indirect roles in carrying rhythm and blues (R&B) into mainstream consciousness, speaks to the enduring pow- er of this music to transcend region and musical category and become a representative sound of the country. Musical Crossroads by Dwandalyn Reece The National Museum of African American History of musical genres, highlighting musical innovations, and Culture (NMAAHC) was established by an act of significant time periods and events along with Congress in 2003 making it the nineteenth museum historic performances to capture the music’s impact of the Smithsonian Institution.
