The Funk Brothers - Ain't Too Proud To Beg

[tranurse]

you can tell these guys just loved each other and what they were doing.

[zbsr]

If close (or even far) you MUST visit the Motown Museum in Detroit. To stand in the "snakepit" and let your imagination go is an experience every Motown music lover should not miss.

[rantoolio]

The Funk Brothers..The only doctors you'll ever need. Feel better ? !!

[Bamaboompa]

I wish Otis Redding could have recorded with these guys.

[bealestbluesss]

I rented "Standing In The Shadow Of Motown" I did not know the history of the Funk Brothers......James Jamerson...Oh, if anyone hasn't seen this movie ..gooo

rent it or buy it.....never to late!

[tombutleruk]

Tommy Walsh sure plays a mean bass 1:23 .It's good to see he found some work after Ground Force finished.

[tboar]

@tombutleruk absolute genius

[TheNorthernSoulKing]

Wish I was there destroy rap bring back real music I am a teen and love this

[Blackheathguy]

I just love the way they through this down.... Two drummers, that's unstoppable.

[MacMic333]

There will never be another group of musicians and songwriters and arrangers who could produce that level of musical energy and excitement. A lot of it was to do with how the Fender bass transformed jazz feel and created a new kind of playing that is unequalled. They lifted those simple drum grooves.Don't forget the Church, That's where it's STILL coming from

[mel0dyism]

Agree to the best tambourine player ever. Our beloved "Mr. Tambourine Man" Jack Ashford. Wonderful man and musician. Thanks for the post.

hughjarse68 - did you write a punk fanzine in Colchester?

[MrTimdrums]

Whole lotta shakin’ goin’ on. Primo.

[wakingtereza]

[RIchardEPfeifer]

I miss my friends

[1969Scan]

I've owned this movie for many rears and I keep coming back to it when ever I need a lift in my life.It always does the trick. A Great movie!

[smarzinski103]

Wish they woulda got some better singers for some of these performances. Not theat these people were bad but Ben Harper doesnt have anywhere near the voice that David ruffin had. Just doesnt do the song justice. The Funk Brothers still got it though!!!

[oOJimmySueOo]

@smarzinski103 I thought Ben Harper did that song really well and really nailed it

[skipper8257]

Jesus, how great is this. I mean really. The best backup band ever assembled.

[sgtpepper1138]

@skipper8257 Them and The Wrecking Crew.

[OhYeah729]

@sgtpepper1138 Don't forget the MG's

[EarlSickbert]

AWESOME!!

[SarahRachel59]

LOL it was the wood in the floor, no it was the producers, no it was the singers, no it was the food.

NO, it was the MUSICIANS! GO FUNK BROTHERS!!!

[japolloproductions]

Incredible

[MotownConnoisseur30]

There it is! The Motown Sound! Wish that sound was still used today!

[mewjaws5754]

Amazing!! as each instrument comes in the song comes to life, I love it.

[sissydomme]

Only the best tambourine player ever!

[justincredible214]

lol I had no idea a tambourine could be played so cool. As much as I have been in church I still never knew till I watch this.

[theboyfromxtown]

@sissydomme

ABSOLUTELY!

[dpc1994]

@sissydomme So THAT'S what a tambourine is supposed to sound like!!!

[alan49624]

The music of the Funk Bros, Weaves Brilliantly, with those unmistakable Motown counter melodies, and Riffs.

[brenfen]

This is the definition of GROOVE!!!!!!

[tranurse]

you can just look at the smiles on their faces, and see how much they loved each other. everytime i watch the documentary, i cry like a baby.

[excelsior544]

@tranurse  I heard that!

[reggie44]

Jack Ashford can _work_ a tambourine! In his hands, it's not just something you shake, it's an instrument. God bless the Funk Bros, past and present!

[mewjaws5754]

Yep" there it is , the unmistakable sound of Motown" courtesy of The Funk Brothers,.
