Description:
In 1959, Berry Gordy Jr. assembled Detroit's finest jazz and blues musicians to record for his new record company. For fourteen years, they provided the essential rhythm behind Motown's biggest hits. By the end of their remarkable career, the Funk Brothers had played on more number one records than The Beach Boys, The Rolling Stones, Elvis Presley, and The Beatles combined – making them popular music's most successful group. Forty-one years after their first recording and three decades since their last reunion, the Funk Brothers return to Detroit to perform their music and share their extraordinary story. The film features archival footage, photos, narration, interviews, recreated scenes, twenty classic Motown tracks, and twelve new live performances of Motown hits with contemporary artists.
