without the funk brother Motown would not have changed the course of music. As somebody who has played piano for 45 years they created the greatest sound in last 65 yrs in music. without them half of motowmns songs , wich I love would have never been as successful. It is a shame that musicians today don't even know who they are.Shame on the music industry Posted by greg on Wednesday, 11/4/2015 @ 17:04pm |
Funk Bros not in the Hall? Ninety percent of the performers inducted don't have the talent to be a member of the Funk Brothers! Posted by bill on Sunday, 12/17/2017 @ 03:41am |
I agree Bill a travesty Posted by Drrock on Sunday, 12/17/2017 @ 08:03am |
If you were a music lover of Motown as I was in the 60's, then it's a simple fact that your life's soundtrack was performed by some of the greatest musicians of the time. THE FUNK BROTHERS! Why at this time they have not been inducted into the rock n' roll hall fame is a mystery to me. The Funk Brothers played on loads of albums and backed major artists with barely any recognition at the time. Doesn't anyone from the RRHOF want to show their support by nominating them?

I believe it is past time that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame created a studio band category to recognize the real musicians (not those who use computerized music) who are the rocks upon which so many careers have been built. The Funk Brothers from Motown, MFSB from the Philly Soul label are two that come to mind. There are so many others. Posted by Sylvia Stewart on Sunday, 05/31/2020 @ 10:42am |

The funk brothers with out a doubt should inducted into the fame . They were the backbone of ALL the music that came out of Motown and was played on every radio around the country . With out them the Motown sound would of never been the same . Posted by Curt zyrek on Saturday, 04/9/2022 @ 15:01pm |
Definitely there should be a category for bands and definitely the Funk Brothers should be acknowledged. Posted by Anne on Tuesday, 10/25/2022 @ 18:49pm |
