In Detroit, Michigan in 1959, Berry Gordy assembles a group of talented musicians from the city’s jazz and blues scene to form Motown, his new record company. Over the next 14 years, these musicians, known as the Funk Brothers, provide the musical backdrop for hit songs like “My Girl,” “Baby Love,” “Ooo Baby Baby,” “Bernadette,” “I Was Made To Love Her,” “I Heard It Through The Grapevine,” and “Dancing In The Street.” Their incredible talent leads them to play on more Number One hits than iconic bands like the Beach Boys, the Rolling Stones, Elvis Presley, and The Beatles combined. The Funk Brothers become the unsung heroes behind the success of Motown, establishing themselves as the greatest hit machine in the history of popular music.
