  2. Interesting. Similiarly, I was flipping around on YouTube for some old MoTown stuff and 'discovered' the Funk Brothers. They were studio musicians extraordinaire who were a very big part of many No.! hits in the 60's and early seventies.

  3. There is a wonderful documentary out in 2008 on the Wrecking Crew. Definitely worthwhile!
