actually, the tamborine was what gave the Motown sound it's flavor! the Cool, crisp, classic funky sound that was the hallmark of the sound. bring in the lushous strings and the funky drums and guitar, the Motown sound was a wonderful sound like no other. it made you want to turn up the sound and create fun memories! this was my music of my generation and i am so glad i grew up with it!
Oh wow... wonder I love playing the tambourine at the Java Music, a support group for caregivers! Love the sound of the tambourine so much! Thank you, Jack, for picking up that fantastic instrument ❤😊
He’s definitely 💯 worth a interview because he’s one the Funk Brothers from Motown and they’re aren’t many of them left ( alive)! Jack Ashford is a great storyteller and musician, thank you for sharing his story! ✊🏾🥁🎵🫡
Man this is some good history!! Kim Weston was my cousins best friend. Dancing in the street we danced till the dust flew!! I consider myself fortunate to have been around Detroit and Pontiac in the 60s. Thanks for this walk down memory lane.
I loved hearing your story Mr Ashford .
This was very enjoyable ✌️😎
Motown…the music that shaped my life! The absolute GREATEST assemblage of artists of ANY label…EVER! Nuff said.
Probably the most amazing and creative tambourine player ever!
What a well-spoken gentleman. He has the wisdom of his age and expresses himself with intentionality and humility. I would love to spend a evening just listening to him. It also shows that a lot was going on at Motown that didn't see the light of day. Of course, in any successful business, there are always unsung heroes.
Great Interview!!! clearly not a dog lover so he can't relate LOL! I can~~~~but when Mickey said wjhat he said..That he discovered those guys..he wasn't taking about you Jack,, because Jack came in after the fact! the funk brother's were already established as the sound of MOTOWN! Mickey was telling the truth!!
Exactly!!
This is great history. Will share with others
Questlove be snoozing on interviewing Jack Ashford like He one of the last one's left
Berry Gordy started with only $800 that he had
borrowed from his sister, in 1959 $800 was a lot of money and just think being in the right place at the right time you could become an entrepreneur and build an empire.
Some real history here, SOME SERIOUS
REFINED OLD SCHOOL
I got a job with the Supremes and they walked up to me and said " all you really need is your bongos and your tambourine ". I always remembered that...
Excellent interview. I didn't know much about Mr. Ashford, but I feel I know a good bit more now. Thank you.
Glad I watched - great piece
Great interview, I knew Speedy, he was well known in London, a great guy and a real character
I am disgusted how the idiot keeps interrupting because of an occasional car horn. So rude and unacceptable.
Thank you for interviewing Jack Ashford, I learned a lot from his story it was very intriguing and inspirational especially about the tambourine. It's actually nice to know the musician behind some of the greatest music that Motown produced and some of the best R&B music created....💯 in my opinion.
It was an honor to interview Mr. Ashford!
I read Marvin put their names on (What's Going On), and it was their first acknowledgment on an album.
I enjoyed this. ❤
Greetings: Go on with your bad self. BlackJack you are a bad brother. Peace
Wow…awesome life story….as a kid growing up in Motown during the 60’s it was always exciting to see the singers moving about in the city….riding in a canoe at Belle Isle with my cousin I hollered when I saw one of the members of The Miracles riding in a canoe and enjoying his family …really appreciate these background stories…
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for sharing yours!
A great man that Almighty God blessed
Both Moses and Miriam were black and our ancestors from the tribe of Levi! It was in your genealogy all alone!
Thanks for sharing this story…..
You were playing vibes... is that Vibra-fones?
Kim Weston what a great voice
