Remixed instrumental version of "The Tracks Of My Tears" by Smokey Robinson & The Miracles ...our aim is to let the others know how great The Funk Brothers were.
Sometimes the sheer brilliance of what the Funk Brothers were doing is almost overwhelming. There was such power in those grooves, yet there was also a delicate beauty, especially on tracks like this one. The driving, crashing drums, majestic horns against strings worthy of an audience with The Queen Mother. Thanks for showcasing these stunning music tracks.
Delicate precision, artistic embellishments, certain kinds of angles and treatments reflect the side of a chord, a minor key, the rhythm of a moods tale to tell. The tempo relished that kinda very exact way....
Motown boss Gordy thought "Funk" sounded vulgar, so he called them officially "the Soul Brothers." Their 1965 lp was released under the Soul Brothers name
