If you get a chance watch the documentary about the ‘Funky Bunch’. The Bunch was the heart of the Motown Sound.
I think you man “The Funk Brothers”.
Search them on Youtube and you’ll find many of their backing tracks without the vocals, so you can really appreciate their talent.
And soon, the documentary on “The Wrecking Crew” will be out, and everyone will know who REALLY played on all those hits by the Beach Boys, Monkees, Sonny and Cher, and many more.
Both groups of studio musicians were incredibly talented and it’s only right that they are finally getting their due.
I thought the Funky Bunch were with Marky Mark.
