I am not even going to go into it--cause I o not feel like starting the day by being angry--this man here--was part of Motown's house musicians--the Funk Brothers--that is HIS guitar you danced to at the beginning of the Temptations song The Way You Do The Things You Do--and he has played on so many other songs---he needs your help---get the word out to your frieds and fellow lovers of Motown--he needs your help--and when you have worries you have health issues and he has both--so please clcik the photo--go to the site and DONATE WHAT YOU CAN--ALL WILL BE APPRECIATED!!! EVEN IF YOU CAN GIVE FIVE DOLLARS!!--It is a sad state of affairs because this man had to hock all of his awards and his guitar to make ends meet..and if you think the Funks got paid from the Standing In The Shadows of Love movie--think again--they didn't

Legendary Motown Funk Brother guitarist Eddie Willis, has played his world renowned "chank" style on more hits than The Beatles, Elvis, The Rolling Stones and The Beach Boys COMBINED! Mr. Willis and his wife Rose, are suffering tremendous financial difficulties. Due to the declining health issues he suffers from polio, Eddie is unable to go out on the road and perform any longer and has no means to provide for himself other than his meager disability check each month, which is not meeting his needs. Those of us who personally know Eddie and Rose Willis, know firsthand that they are living an extremely humble existence. For those that are unfamiliar about the story of Motown's unheralded heroes, simply watch their award winning documentary that tells the story of Motown's house band, in "Standing in the Shadows of Motown. If any of you reading this have enjoyed a Motown song, or if Motown was the soundtrack of your life, please find it within your heart to donate even the smallest of donations to help a man who, along with all of The Funk Brothers, brought so very much joy to generations of music lovers! Eddie would thank you and say, " God bless you."
