More info: Deena Jones, Effie White, and Lorrell Robinson, three young African-American women in 1960s Detroit, dream of becoming pop stars. They get their wish after a local talent show when they are picked to be backup singers for the legendary James "Thunder" Early. As they become more successful, Curtis Taylor, Jr., a car salesman who's become their manager, and Effie's brother C.C., their songwriter, decide that the more traditionally beautiful Deena should be the lead singer instead of Effie, who had been the lead singer and who has a more powerful voice. Over time, each of the girls discovers the costs and compromises exacted by their desire to be in the music business.
