Standing in the Shadows of Motown
In 1959, Berry Gordy Jr. gathered the best artists from Detroit's thriving jazz and also blues scene to start cutting tunes for his brand-new document company. Over a fourteen year duration they were the heart beat on every hit from Motown's Detroit period. By the end of their remarkable run, this anonymous group of musicians had played on more primary hits than the Coastline Boys, the Rolling Stones, Elvis and the Beatles incorporated - which makes them the greatest hit maker in the history of popular music. They called themselves the Funk Brothers. Forty-one years after they played their very first note on a Motown record as well as three years because they were entirely, the Funk Brothers reunited back in Detroit to play their songs as well as tell their unforgettable tale, with the help of archival video footage, still images, narrative, interviews, re-creation scenes, 20 Motown master tracks, as well as twelve new real-time performances of Motown classics with the Brothers supporting modern performers.
