I was blessed to witness the remaining Funk brothers, at Manchester Apollo some years ago....All Legends in their own right.......Awesome doesn't cover their Greatness!
The soundtrack to my young mod years and my love for this wonderful group of talented people who never received the accolades they deserved KTF 🇬🇧👍KTF.
Best backing band ever bar none!!! The video documentary on them is a must see!! The history behind these guys is priceless and hardly anyone knows who they are? What a damn shame period!! history gone "but" recorded thank god above!!
This brings back so many memories. Black inspirational history. The Motown Sound. What a great inspiration to all of America. Wow just to listen to the music . The Funk Brothers were or are the best.
1:27 Everlasting Love - David Ruffin 3:23 To See The Sun Again - Chuck Jackson 5:08 You - Marvin Gaye 7:19 Loving You Is Sweeter Than Ever - Marvin Gaye 9:09 We've Got A Strong Love On Our Side - The Four Tops Took me the entire afternoon to figure it out, Thanks again to Drew Shultz! hopefully this saves you some time!
The FOUNDATION of "the Motown Sound", The Funk Brothers, lead often by Mike Terry and his bold baritone sax. I can sing along with all of these grooves from my boyhood days. Major Props
Barely ever remember hearing about this unbelievable instrumental group. Just really began to hear and appreciate their gift to us. Amazing what they bring to already the best. Why can't some artist bring at least an updated version of Funk . But maybe I know answer. Nobody can come anywhere close
There's some funky stuff out there like sound stylistics city champs vulfpeck but it's amazingly difficult to mirror the funk bros! I heard they moonlighted playing in jazz clubs most nights. Boy to hear that stuff would be awesome!
I always thought I heard two drummers on "I Need You To See The Sun Again" and now this instrumental post proves it! I LOVE this posting, cov11! Thanks so much!
Brilliant musos, who were treated badly and taken for granted by Berry Gordy. Paid a pittance, no wonder they moonlighted for the likes of the great Jackie Wilson and many more. Gordy wasn`t the only one of course, stuff like this was common place, watch Teddy Pendergrass` story and John Fogarty`s years long battle to be able to play his own music again after his nasty split from the other members of Creedence.
krystal-gob - It is the same soundtrack that was used for David Ruffin's version of the song back in 1969! You could find that version on RUclips or in David Ruffin's classic album My Whole World Ended which went to #1 on the R&B charts!

This Motown sound is awsome, don't get no better than this👏💪🙌👏
Motown music is the best. The instrumentalists were impeccable. The melodies are triumphant, uplifting, and hopeful. It touches my soul.
Triumphant is a great expression.
I wanted to be Benny Benjamin, just wasn't nearly good enough. Best soul/r&b drummer EVER. Thank you American black soul. Love 💘 from England
Yes...mr. Benjamin IS the greatest soul/r&b drummer EVER... 🎯💯
Yea, Benny was a beast. Too bad drugs messed him up. So sad.
These videos are so very great! Thank you for sharing them.
Great musicians on each instruments. Once in a lifetime phenomenon. THANK YOU FUNK BROTHERS FOR THE GREATEST MUSIC OF ALL TIME!

Brilliant new views of old Motown tracks. Thanks for posting
I always thought I heard two drummers on "I Need You To See The Sun Again" and now this instrumental post proves it! I LOVE this posting, cov11! Thanks so much!
there usually were, that is why beginning drummers had such a hard time trying to do the sound. I think the only one who played alone was Papa Zita
THE Motown sound ❤
funk brothers forever!
The best

Great music from fabulous performers - their sounds will last forever - KTF
I second that emotion!
STUNNING
Eddie chank WILLIS ....FRONT AND CENTER!!!
All these seem to be raw tracks....pre-sweetening, pre-echo, pre-reverb...and they STILL sound great!
King Bee Takes some great musicians to do that!
I know someone who is looking for old pictures of the Funks where did you find these?
Has anyone got that version of 'Everlasting Love' that gets played at 1:27?

7:02 the young lady with her back to you is probably Miss Danya who played flute and Piccallo
Any clue what that first track is?
First track is "We'll Find A Way" recorded by Chuck Jackson at Motown in 1967.
