Summary

Late musician Joe Hunter and former Vice President Al Gore, on this edition of Fresh Air. We remember musician Joe Hunter with a rebroadcast of his 2002 interview. He died last week at the age of 79. Hunter was one of the Funk Brothers, the session musicians who helped create the Motown Sound. Hunter was an early keyboardist with the band (from 1959-1963) and could be heard on the hits "Money" (by Barrett Strong), "Shop Around" (The Miracles," "Pride and Joy (Marvin Gaye), and "Heat Wave" (Martha and the Vandellas). Hunter was interviewed with Jack Ashford who was also a member of the Funk Brothers and played vibes and tambourine. They were the subject of the documentary Standing in the Shadows of Motown. (Original Airdate: 11/18/02)

Then, former Vice President and presidential candidate Al Gore has, for 17 years, been on the forefront of warning against global warming. His critically acclaimed documentary The Inconvenient Truth about the dangers of global warming is up for two academy awards: one for Best documentary feature and another for Music Written for a motion picture.

Finally, film critic David Edelstein reviews the German film The Lives of Others. (Original Airdate: 5/30/06) [Broadcast Date: February 9, 2007]
