Also, I just saw a great documentary called "Standing in the Shadow of Motown." if you a Motown or music fan in general, you should check this out. I really wanted a lot more than they gave, which is probably the only down side. That and they sort of got B and C list singers to perform with the group that the film focus' on: The Funk Brothers. They played on 90 % of the biggest hits of the 60's & early 70's Motown and basically created what we know as the "Motown Sound". Songs like "What's Goin' On", "I heard it Through The Grapevine."
Fantastic Doc. The musicianship of these guys was phenominal and even in the concert they did (Cir: 2002) they still had that flavor and "funk" that they had when they recorded. Totally unmached ability to play those great songs from Motown.
