Title: Funk Brothers the Secret to Motowns Success
Review: I saw this documentary at the theater and was impressed by how much the musicians at Motown contributed to the overall success of the record label. At one point one of the musicians said it didn't matter who they had to sing those songs, they would have been hits just because of the music behind them. Then, they went on to prove it by playing live with several different singers. How refreshing to hear the music played exactly as it was recorded, with a little variation in the vocals. Yet, the Funk Brothers never got credit on any of the Motown songs.It also covers the move of Motown from Detroit to L.A. The musicians found out about the move when they showed up to the studio to do a regularly scheduled session. There was a note on the door saying "We've moved to L.A."All in all, a facinating movie that was produced and directed very well. I hope the sound quality transfers well because it was truly excellent.
