I found a DVD copy of this tremendous documentary and watched it last week. "Standing In The Shadows of Motown" is about the Funk Brothers, the musicians who played on all of those classic recordings. You must see this movie.
Here is a clip to get you started. The groove is simple and astonishing. One chord never swung so hard...
The singer in this clip is Gerald Levert, son of Eddie Levert of the O'jays. Gerald passed away two years ago from a possible heart attack at the age of 40. Tragic.
Yes, that's Tom Scott on the sax.
