The True Motown Sound And Its Unknown History
While you’ve probably heard many of the classic Motown hits, you probably didn’t know that for many years, the band members playing on every single hit were from the same core group of musicians known as The Funk Brothers.
There is a great documentary called Standing In The Shadows Of Motown that tells their story, gives much deserved recognition, and includes many clips from a reunion concert featuring a number of modern guest artists.
It is a really great watch, and is a steal at $9 on Amazon or unbelievably, you can rent it on iTunes for just 99 cents. If you enjoy classic Motown and want to hear some of the greatest musicians in modern popular music tell their story and play again, don’t miss it.
