Very entertaining documentary about the real musicians behind some of the 50s and 60s best songs.

Some good music history, lots of great clips of hits from the 60's and 70's and short interviews with Brian Wilson, Glen Campbell, Nancy Sinatra and many others.

Gives some long overdue credit to a dozen or so great session musicians who played on hundreds of songs from that period. But the storytelling tends to be repetitive and doesn't go very deep. The movie doesn't really pull you in. If this music was important to you then this can be worth seeing, but if not then you may not need to see this. Expand

And, while large portions of the filmA noble, heartfelt attempt at telling the back story behind the unsung heroes of 60s rock and pop music -- the studio musicians who made the music brilliant but received no credit for their efforts. And, while large portions of the film respectfully pay tribute to these little-known artists, there are also many interview segments that are a little too "inside" to be fully appreciated by an audience that probably doesn't know much about the subject to begin with. Regrettably, it feels like the filmmakers were a little too close to their material to step back and fully appreciate how viewers might react to it. Expand
