Dreamettes

As I sat down to write thie post I realized that my mother was watching Dreamgirls and since the movie deals with R&B music during the eras of doo-wop, soul, Motown, disco, and funk during the 60s and 70s I decided it fit into what we recently talked about in class. The movie shows a very good example of artists blatantly stealing music from other artists. The difference between this movie and others is that they do not only show white artists stealing from black artists but also black artists stealing from other black artists which is even worse! It also portrays the turmoils of early black recording labels and how much inner conflict was going on with image issues, lead singers, and money. I liked this movie very much and would definately recommend it to anyone that has not seen it yet.
