Gary, do you hear that oooooooo sound at the very beginning of Sunshine? That is Bongo Eddy using his middle finger rubbing the drum skin making that sound. He showed that to me before the session started and had me try it. I couldn´t make it happen. So I told Eddy to put it somewhere in the track. And he did just that. Thought this might lnterest you.

Hi Ralph, I'm sorry to take so long to reply. I didn't see this post until just now. To tell you the truth, I hadn't noticed Bongo Eddie's special effect until just now. It fits perfectly as the first note of the intro. Anywhere else in the track, it would have surely been lost and never heard. [[Thanks for sharing that interesting morsel from the recording sessions. I love hearing about the behind-the-scenes goings-on -- especially at Motown!)
