Ever see the documentary about the Funk Brothers who did most of the back up musician stuff? Excellent.

Oh yes! And I met some of the Funk Brothers at a Herman Cain Rally in Florida (long before we had our Dear President Trump)

Wings Plus...Coral Springs...AWESOME Place! :-)

I wasn’t really a fan of Motown until I lived there.
All I can say is the music really fits the environment.

When I listen now I can break it down into 3 basic sounds:

- Wheels turning (I’ll Be Doggone)
- Snow falling (Love Child, there’s a blizzard occurring on that record)
- Assembly line noise (Nowhere to Run moves along in line rhythm)

That’s the sound of Detroit. Wheels turning, snow falling. Snow falling, wheels turning. Kachunk, bolt on wheel. Kachunk, bolt on dash. etc.
