Capitols - Cool Jerk (Original)
Loading...
Uploaded by Nocaro on May 14, 2010
The driving force behind the Motown Sound for most of that company's hits throughout the 60's and into the 70's was a group of musicians fondly called the "Funk Brothers". In the early part of 1966, the Funk Brothers had completed the rhythm track for the soon-to-be Supremes' hit "Love Is Like An Itching In My Heart", and in their spare time (and probably in need of some extra dough), a group of them wandered over to a small studio in Detroit and helped a local trio called The Capitols put together a recording called "Cool Jerk". It was an obvious violation of their contract with Motown, but they did it anyway, and the end result was a song which went to #7 in May of 1966 due in large part to their fabulous work on this recording.
