Black Music Month: The Funk Brothers

In this clip I’m packing back up from where I left off last week beginning Black Music Month with the focus on Earl Van Dyke, Joe Hunter, Johnny Griffith, Eddie Willis, Joe Messina, Robert White, William “Benny” Benjamin, Richard “Pistol” Allen, Uriel Jones, James Jamerson, Bob Babbit, Jack Ashford and Eddie “Bongo” Brown – aka – The Funk Brothers.

HERE ARE A FEW CLIPS FROM STANDING IN THE SHADOWS TO CHECK OUT:

Also, in commemorating Black History Month, I’m doing a give-a-way.
To be considered the recipient of the give-a-way, simply post a video response explaining why you should be the recipient.
