Standing in the Shadows of Motown
In 1959, Berry Gordy Jr. collected the most effective artists from Detroit's flourishing jazz as well as blues scene to start cutting tracks for his brand-new record business. Over a fourteen year period they were the heartbeat on every hit from Motown's Detroit age. By the end of their incredible run, this anonymous team of musicians had actually used even more top hits than the Coastline Boys, the Rolling Stones, Elvis and the Beatles incorporated - that makes them the best hit equipment in the history of popular music. They called themselves the Funk Brothers. Forty-one years after they played their first note on a Motown document and 3 decades because they were completely, the Funk Brothers reunited back in Detroit to play their songs as well as inform their remarkable story, with the help of archival video footage, still photos, narrative, interviews, re-creation scenes, 20 Motown master tracks, as well as twelve new online performances of Motown classics with the Brothers supporting contemporary entertainers.
