This is a top read for anyone who's interested in Motown and the Funk Brothers, who were behind the distinctive Motown Sound and can be heard on hundreds of hit records. The style's immediate and readable, and there are some wonderful anecdotes about some of the top Motown stars. If you saw the movie Standing in the Shadows of Motown you'll want to read this book. I can't recommend it highly enough. Just buy it - and make sure you catch the Funks in London in January 04!
