Introducing ‘Behind The Groove’ Music/Interview Series

Back Story – Behind The Groove boasts a cast which includes Sheldon Reynolds; former member of legendary music group Earth, Wind & Fire; the team interviews musicians, background singers, and producers about the process and stories behind some of music’s greatest hits.

There are various music programs but this one gets behind the hits of the past and present. Watch as the hosts interview the men and women who worked on some of the world’s most famous songs. The audience will not only hear amusing stories but will also be allowed to ask questions. The setting of the program is purposefully intimate so that artists and audience can experience a sense of kinship as they explore their shared love of music.

Who came up with the bass line for Earth, Wind and Fire’s first hit? How was it to work with Prince on “When Doves Cry”? Did Pharell Williams get the hook to “Happy” right away? Or “How long did it take to perfect the “Welcome to the Jungle” intro? These types of questions often go through the minds of fans and music aficionados. On Behind the Groove, the viewers will finally get all those answers plus more.
