Between the late 1950's and the 1970's, The Funk Brothers band was the heartbeat on nearly every major hit record from Motown's Detroit era. This unsung group of musicians arranged and played on more #1 hit songs than any other band in history; more than the Beach Boys, the Rolling Stones, Elvis Presley, and the Beatles combined. That makes them the greatest musical hit machine--and the greatest rhythm section--and the most creative musical force--in the history of popular music. The Funk Brothers created that unmistakable sound that launched a thousand hits.
And in November, 2009, after The Hollywood Chamber Of Commerce received a 13 page nomination from a fan, they were selected to receive their long-awaited and long-deserved Star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame.
The Funk Brothers would like to thank their fans in advance for all donations, large or small, to help them reach their goal for this well deserved, long awaited and once in a lifetime honor.
