I know, that was a great one. Coffey actually introduced the wah wah pedal to Wah Wah Watson. He had a few other minor hits. I think he still plays.

Funk Brothers inspired different kinds of music:

Iggy Pop - Lust For Life

The Jam - Town Called Malice

Jet - Are You Gonna Be My Girl (Official Music Video)

The Decemberists - The Sporting Life

Daryl Hall & John Oates - Maneater (Official Video)

The Strokes - Last Nite [Also borrows from Tom Petty]

Are based on this:

The Supremes - You Can't Hurry Love

Technically, the song is written by Holland-Dozier-Holland, but I think the relevant part was created by Jimmy Jamerson and Benny Benjamin.
