A 20 steps from Stardom speech of the singers "spare" those whose voices we hear but we do not know who they are or what their job. Without them, the popular music of the big bands would not be what it is, but not in the spotlight, so they are not as well known. This documentary tells what their lives and delves into their world, which for most of the population goes unnoticed.

Triumphant while sweeping, A 20 steps of Fame is a tribute to those unfamiliar voices that shape and style to the popular music, and emphasizes the sacrifices, conflicts and rewards of these singers. The film would have been impossible to accomplish without the help of professionals like Lou Adler, Chris Botti and Carole Childs, who tell their own stories. Director Morgan Neville is known for other documentaries including The Union, The Night James Brown Saved Boston and Burn.
