Standing in the Shadows of Motown
In 1959, Berry Gordy Jr. gathered the most effective musicians from Detroit's growing jazz and also blues scene to start cutting tracks for his brand-new document firm. Over a fourteen year period they were the heartbeat on every hit from Motown's Detroit era. By the end of their sensational run, this anonymous group of artists had actually used more number ones strikes than the Beach Boys, the Rolling Stones, Elvis and also the Beatles combined - that makes them the greatest hit maker in the history of music. They called themselves the Funk Brothers. Forty-one years after they played their first note on a Motown document and also three decades because they were completely, the Funk Brothers rejoined back in Detroit to play their music and also tell their extraordinary story, with the help of historical video footage, still photos, narrative, interviews, re-creation scenes, 20 Motown master tracks, and twelve new live efficiencies of Motown classics with the Brothers backing up modern entertainers.
