How They Got Over plot

Legendary musicians such as James Brown borrowed the art of grand and compelling performance from the harmoniously singing African-American gospel quartets, which began performing in churches, local radio stations, and later concert halls from the 1930s onward. This documentary about the origin and evolution of these quartets illustrates how this initially often religious harmony grew into swinging, more secular songs with instruments, multiple singers, fiery emotions and full halls.
