One of the best documentary-style films on Motown and the musicians behind its unique sound. A bonus is the many live performances by some of the original crew of the Funk Brothers with guest vocalists - Joan Osbourne being one outstanding example.

Was quite upset this dvd didn’t play as I had bought it for my dad in his old people’s home to watch as he loves his Motown , so he was disappointed when it didn’t work

If you are at all interested in the music performed in the 1960's, or more specifically, the recordings made at Tamla Motown, then this DVD is an absolute must. As a young teenager I worked on Sundays in a record shop in Brick Lane, London. I had at that time an enviable collection of Tamla records - every one produced during that time. Despite this, I never realised who the session musicians were - The Funk Brothers. This DVD tells the tale and explains why the 'Tamla Sound" was so unique and consistent. Some of the old classics are reproduced by more recent artists who, whilst faithfully delivering the great songs, deliver them with just a little bit of their own input - much to be admired. To see these great musicians called The Funk Brothers still in action and learn about those who are no longer with us, is a real treat. Don't hesitate to buy it, the picture and sound quality is superb. So if you've taken the trouble to read this review, you must be a Tamla fan - just buy it. By the way I gave all my Tamla 45 collection away to a god friend as a gift years ago - hmmm I sure regret that act of generosity now.Read full review
A fascinating and detailed account of the lives behind Motown. With some great live performances by various guest singers, just a really nice video.

It ties in well with the whole history of Motown....e.g.Holland-Dozier-Holland autobiography and Hitsville. Music lovers have to view these rarities!!!
