Thanks for posting. Where did you acquire the performance of this without vocals? This is great. I was blessed to meet Uriel Jones on a gig in summer of 2007. Super nice guy. Forever the Funk Brothers
@playloud FOREVER URIEL ! Since he passed the Funk's have looked hard to try to fill in the void he left on the drums . Chester Thompson is a good choice .
If you don't know the story behind this & have never seen "Standing in the Shadow of Motown", DO IT! People found out and are still finding out that it was the Funk Brothers who made superstars out of so many vocalists back then from the Tempations to the Four Tops, Smokey Robinson and Marvin Gay. Now days, when someone says that a song is "by" the Funk Brothers it typically means that it's the original Motown master recording before track 8 was added with the vocals... which is the case here.
they are such geniuses yet no one knows who they are its so sad anyone can sing but to master an instrument and play it so well it is truly a blessing and its so sad that no one knows of there extroadinary talent theyre truly gifted and they have not been put to fame yet
From a kid I said the band in all of these Motown songs were great!!

@PianistDanny Yes, but it's nice to hear the backing track by itself for a change.
