  • Love this stuff!!!!

  • yo dennis, your records have been secret funk bombs, for years and years, and, it dont look like is ever gonna change!

    thanx for all the awsome vibrations, brother..

    peace be with you

  • @madmoses59 2 years later you finally get a reply as to what that guitar is hahahaha. It is a 345 with the varitone control removed. If you look at the fret markers, you'll see they're split. the pickups have the Gibson logo on them, so I'm thinking 68 maybe?

  • @frickinfrak Do you think he'd let me sit in on Guitar? I have a killer resume'

  • dennis is the man. come see him on wednesday's for FREE @ northern lights. i think the event is called dinner with coffey. he seems to be very approachable, too

  • I wonder if he ever jammed with Ted Nugent? Some of the early Amboy Dukes Kind of reminds me of Evolution LP

  • All of the studio guys for Motown/Funk Brothers were heavy into jazz, especially improv. They would take licks from the jam sessions and add them to the Motown tracks, and they would use bits from something they had just recorded for the jazz club jams. Joe Hunter, on piano, especially. You didn't hear much jazz on the records they made, but the influence was there. Like the chord changes and main lick here. Pure jazz.

  • just too much Phaser and delays..intro was cool but it got to be too much later. Can't figure out where he was going with the solos. It's a mellow song not a jam session. Sometimes less is best.

  • Yes a true legend! Met him in Pittsburgh at Rhythmn & Soul concert! great guy!

  • I was thinking he used to play a Birdland.
