Millions know their voices, but no one knows their names. 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.

TweetThere is only one theme, one starting point: the dizziness to be there.
Bernard Faucon was 14 when his grandmother gave him a Semflex, a photo device 6 x 6, and discovers, fascinated, the magic of these great color slides that are so good at capturing the immediacy of the world. He remained faithful for 20 years at this technique.
Him, who wanted to be a painter or writer, can play with the camera trying to recreate the perfection of a moment, the face of the living, sensing the unintended poetry of everyday life. The framework is, first and foremost, the Luberon and its landscapes, its flamboyant sunsets where he sometimes recorded his silhouette, the languorous sadness of a winter’s day , the hills which rise beyond. Home of his parents is then a summer camp for children. There he photographs his friends, his brother Pierre, often, his grandmother, the drying linen, the sun that gilds everything, the yard, the kitchen, the dry grass. He isolates moments, objects, subject. Each image seems to support the deep experimentation of a reality being done. The portraits are poised, serious and the one of Pierre à la Balançoire or swing or Michel à la Chapelle bring the attention to the framework or the construction of the image.
This intuitive, instinctive work, says the tense sensitivity of a young man of 16-17 painfully aware of a reality that no longer exists. Looking in order to keep better. But this is also meaningless. We know that the artistic necessity roots in childhood. And like any artist , Bernard Faucon drew them to create these images that we fill of our experience, our desires, our questions and sometimes our regrets. They become the material of which we are all made .

The video is directed by filmmaker John Hillcoat (the man behind The Proposition, The Road, as well as music videos for Nick Cave, How to Destroy Angels, Depeche Mode). It collects images from the grittier side of the American landscape, filmed during a month-long journey across the country.
Hillcoat shared a statement about the video in a press release:
The lyrics seemed to speak to America as it is now, to the nation that loved him and to the great divide he fought so hard against. This divide has only grown exponentially since he died, so we wanted to show America under this stark light and as a homage to the very reason Cash always wore black: to the shameful increase of the disenfranchised and outsiders. At the same time, we wanted to reference the great man’s own struggle and journey from the love of his life to the burnt out ruins of his infamous lake house home, personal photographs, the cave where he tried to take his life but then turned it all around, the place he last recorded in and his last photo before his passing.
On March 25th, Columbia/Legacy will release Out Among the Stars, an album of lost songs (of one is, She used to love me a lot) recorded by Johnny Cash in the early 1980s.
