Motown Monday

This is one of those songs I heard years ago and kind of forgot about until I heard it again in 2000's High Fidelity with John Cusack. It now sees regular play when I'm driving.

 
From Standing in The Shadows of Motown. I mean, Jack Ashford, for Pete’s sake!

Allan Slutsky deserves a lot of credit for getting these guys their due. Man, what a studio band. Killer musicians, with some real creativity happening session after session. The Funk Brothers are the real, real deal.

I really would have loved to have heard Joan do the rest of “I Heard It Through The Grapevine.” The little line of it she did while talking to the guys was grooving.
