The strings section at Motown [[from 1962 through when they left Detroit in 1973) was formed from players from the string section of The Detroit Symphony Orchestra, directed by Gordon Staples. They also provided strings for Ed Wingate's Golden World/Ric Tic Records.

I don't know who played the violins on James Brown's late King cuts. But Gordon Staples' crew were the best on any Soul cuts I've ever heard.
