Funk Brothers / Four Tops - It's The Same Old Song Inst

[andreaward2]

Top 'oil!!

[theboyfromxtown]

I am sure I can hear Lawrence's voice on this one. If anyone is interested, listen specifically to the words in capitals "It's the same OLD SONG with a different meaning since you been GONE" starting at about 1:17. Can anybody hear it?

It's really prominent - see also 2:14 and 2:22 ...and so on.

[pathorne2]

wow incredible music.

[snare500m]

Hi....what intro..on the drums..I think its Benny Benjamin..could be Uriel Jones copying the trade mark...Tamla Drum Roll....creat by the late great Benny Benjamin..superb!!!

[theboyfromxtown]

At 1:17 and later That is Lawrence Payton singing. I love his voice

@soulmusicluver

Ahhh good.....a fellow string lover!

If you like strings, check out the instrumental for It Takes Two from Marvin and Kim...it's one of my favourites along with this one



[bankman58]

When you strip the song down to the instrumentation, you can hear the brilliant sound that The Funk Brothers were producing. I ditto the comments by the other You Tubers. The best!!!

[iiCapp]

LOVE IT!!!!! :)

[SteveArpo]

It's that xylophone that gets me. Makes me wanna buy one and take lessons.

[xwsftassell]

Sir'll be wanting a VIBRAPHONE then. They cost a bit more. I love vibraphones. I love anything with a vibraphone on it. Oh, that and harpsichords. Not to mention alpine horns and baritone saxes.

[nataniel70]
