RIP to the Funk Brothers!! My uncle Melvin Ragin aka Wah Wah Watson brought a whole different sound and he made that change to LA and was LA session player until he passed away! He played on Carwash, Let’s Get It On, Maxwell’s first cd Urban Hang Suite and countless hit records and artist!! Thanks so much for mentioning him because he is always

[crencottrell]

Soo much material for a Motown TV series...thank you sir 😁

[kyratownes]

Thank you for covering the Funk Brothers! ❤ What was Motown without them?

[carollewis]

The Funk Brothers are legendary. Love this story. Thank you.

My sisters began working for Motown from its beginning and remained until its move to the west coast. The atmosphere at Motown/Hitsville was congenial and relaxed to say the least and upon my discharge from the military it allowed me to rub shoulders with many if not all of the greats. That The Funk Brothers "made Motown" is an understatement. The baddest band ever. May they all R.I.P.

The Fabulous Funk Brothers & creators of the legendary Motown Sound. 💥🎶🎼🎵

[gregorygriffin]

Props and thanks to all musicians, living or dead, who helped craft the Motown sound; Writers and producers included. But Jamerson is truly my dude!

[kyratownes]

Mr. Tambourine Man Jack Ashford is the soul survivor of the Funk Brothers.

Bruh, I love your channel! My parents raised me heavily on Motown and The Beatles, I love learning as much as I can about all the Motown artists and in particular The Funk Brothers. And as a bassist, I can wholeheartedly say that James Jamerson and the Motown sound is one of the biggest reasons I ever wanted to play the bass. Thanks for your videos, I’ll definitely be watching.

Dennis Coffey assembled several Funk Brothers to record the Smash hit "Scorpio" in Late 1971. The song was a major component in the success in the beginning of the "Soul Train" TV Series

Eddie Willis, Robert White, and Joe Messina played so many funky guitar licks! Man... Dont 4get about Bobbye Hall. She was a conga player in the 60's with Motown and she's still playing as of this writing. Also Jack Brokensha from Australia was a vibe/marimba/percussionist with them as well in the 60's. Stevie Wonder was an honorary Funk Brother, as he learned so much from them.

Berry was wrong to leave most of them behind in Detroit while he took the company to LA.

[michele]

Wow. I didn't know they played on a lot of hit records for different artists.

[lakesiabeavers]

This was a great video, this band did a lot of great work and deserves all of their flowers… thank you WBPTV

[marvinwhittaker]

I love Eddie "Chank" Willis guitar lick. That "Chank" guitar lick gave Motown an Identity that no other record company could duplicate. For instance "Ain't Too Proud To Beg" was the song that gave Motown that swinging sound. Jack Ashford is the last original member of The Funk Brothers that's still living.

I bought the documentary about the Funk Bros on Amazon years ago after initially seeing the same documentary on Showtime

I never heard of them . Always a history lesson with u. They were behind lots of hits . I clearly remember Chairman Of The Board . I love that song .

[unrulyblacc]

Love the content! My father raised me up on this wonderful music. He passed last year but this great music keeps all the great times fresh for me . Thank you for videos

[nicolesherman]

I never knew they wrote so many hits. And it’s heartbreaking most of them have transitioned. Good story overall 👏🏾.

Thank you for your diligence in putting these videos together. I enjoy them. I know it takes a lot of work to put all of this info together. I'm familiar with the stories of some of the artist you feature. But I do have to mention that occasionally, there is some inaccuracies with the photos you display. In this particular video, you showed a photo of the Soul Brothers, but it was actually, The Tramps from Philly. During the section about producers, you mentioned Frank Wilson, but the pic displayed was of Jerry Butler. Once again, keep up the good work. Keep the young folk informed of the musical artist that paved the way! 😊 👍🏾
