I sang male leads in 5 musicals. I took vocal lessons for 4 years. I played in several chump change rock bands.
When the Beatles came over....what a refreshing change in music. I was so tired of playing and singing "Johnny be good".
Then Motown came to be...............
In '67 I moved to a little farming town outside Chicago and I got to listen to a lot of the 60's Chicago groups in their early days.......
Yesterday TCM played a movie....Standing in the Shadow of Motown....concerning the Funk Brothers band. A group of unrelated musicians that became the sessions musicians on most of the biggest hits that came out of Motown in the 60's and early 70's. Wow! Unbelieveable!
I will be ordering the DVD tomorrow. I found some new vocalists to buy for my CD collection too......Joan Osborne.......Ben Harper....
