(PR) They toiled in obscurity for 13 years making hit after hit for Berry Gordy who demanded assembly-line efficiency. Guitarist Eddie Willis, bassist Bob Babbitt and drummer Uriel Jones called that studio basement "The Snakepit." Everyone else knew it as "Hitsville USA." They have played on more #1 recordings than anyone else in the world.
Ever since the feature film Standing In The Shadows Of Motown let the world know that The Funk Brothers were still funkin' it up with the same kind of dedication they brought to their dayjobs (while jamming at Millie's Chit Chat Lounge late into the Detroit night), these three have finally been reaping their just rewards, stepping in front of the curtain and laying down the grooves for appreciative audiences around the world.
Eagle Rock Entertainment is proud to announce the releases of Live In Orlando by The Funk Brothers, on CD June 3 and DVD June 17.
