Some of the greatest music ever made.

Have any of you seen the documentary they made about the Funk Brothers (must be about 10 years old)? I really liked it and it was what got me interested in Motown. Really cool to think it was the same guys playing on all those hits and no-one knew about them at the time. Same thing with the band at Muscle Shoals, but I don't think they played on quite as many hits as the Funk Brothers.

If there is a God - it's favorite genre is Motown.
