Standing_In_The_Shadows_Of_Motown

Standing In The Shadows Of Motown Standing in the Shadows of Motown was a very compelling movie to me. I had no idea that one core group of people did so much for the Motown scene. This one group of people named “The Funk Brothers” was the band behind most of the Motown hits. According to this movie, having a core of unique and original musicians with jazz backgrounds and influences was the foundation to create more hit songs then any other band in history. As in many genres of music, the Motown sound was defined by the incredible bass line, combined with the beats provided by the percussion. The original defining bassist, James Jameson, is considered one of the best bassist to have ever lived. He had an incredibly unique and fast sound that he played completely with one finger. Most good bassist have a hard time playing the same sound with multiple fingers. sound, motown, original, one, james, incredible, funk, defined, brothers, music, bassist, unique, two, songs, side, replaced, percussion, people, overdose, musicians, movie, jameson, hit, group, foundation, drummer, died, core, benny, beat, band, wrote, very, until, tried
