I think after Shotgun it was all Funk Bros. & it was prob some Funk Bros on Shotgun.

The Funks of course did not play on Soul Session as those were all Harvey recordings.They didn`t help out on the the first live LP even though they were present- witness Heartbreak the final track.Isn`t Mutiny on Road Runner brilliant. Roger Polhill.

thanks, motony and roger! so did junior ever play with the funks on any of the motown artists recordings?

[Roger Polhill]

There is a track on the brilliant Cellarful Vol. 4. by the Agents which sounds like the All Stars and Harvey Fuqua as well as Junior if this passes.I don`t know of any others.

There's a French album cover listing the players with Junior, and the All-Stars and others continue to turn up through most of the Motown [[Soul) years, interspersed with the various Funks. Junior was regarded as an act, rather than a session player, and it has been suggested he was limited in the number of keys he could play in, so it wouldn't be usual for him to play on sessions. Apart from that, unless he had to turn up for his own sessions, he would sooner have stayed on the farm and worked on his cars.
