Has anyone seen the movie Twenty Feet From Stardom?

The backup singer, Merry Clayton in War, Children really brings the song to life. And that movie tells the story of backup singers especially of the 1960s and 1970s. There is a specific bit about the backup singer that sings "Rape, murder . . . ."
