Motown and The Funk Brothers

Every now and then I hear a Motown song and I am reminded once again at how great that sound was.  Here's Tammi and Marvin doing "If I Could Build My Whole World Around You," a classic duet.  This song is almost 50 years old, yet it's new every day; an uplift to the spirit.  There was chemistry there like no other.  The Funk Brothers are magnificent and forever amazing.

They were off the charts brilliant.  Did you see the documentary?:  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0314725/?ref_=nm_flmg_tk_2

Great movie, with a wonderful performance by Joan Osborne.

What becomes of the broken-hearted? Phenomenal. I need to run home and watch it again

I'm so glad I lived during these times to have experienced the music first-hand.

Happened to stumble into an episode of "Live From Daryl's House" yesterday. The guests were the O'Jays.   Boy was it good.
