Standing in the shadows of Motown "the movie"
The story of Motown's "Funk Brothers"
scheduled for release in the fall 2002.

By WALTER DAWKINS "Standing in the Shadows of Motown" documents the career of the Funk Brothers, the unknown band behind all of Motown's Detroit-era classics. A 10-year labor of love for producer Sandy Passman, the film works on both a human-interest level -- focusing on the travails of the band members now finally receiving their well-earned due -- and as a slice of Motown's early history.
