VH1's Behind The Music Docn' - A Celebration of the Music Documentary
-
- Music Commentary
Behind the Music was on for seventeen years and chronicled a dizzying amount of musicians on the sorta music-centric channel VH1. While episodes of the show are quite concise and not proper 'documentaries', we really couldn't avoid addressing this behemoth of very appropriate content.
Armed with breakthrough technology (a random number generator) and crucial data (a list of episodes), the Docn' crew were all set to rally...and then tragedy struck. While Doc'r Carolyn's episode on Lenny Kravitz was happily available online, searching for Adam's episode on Bette Midler and Andrew's on Grand Funk Railroad was ultimately doomed. Our second go-round was more successful, and we ultimately were able to find and analyze episodes on Natalie Cole and Styx.
Aside from commenting on the ups and downs of the artists profiled in the episode, we also reflect on our thoughts about the program in general and speculate about its rebirth this year as a part of Paramount+.
