The Funk Brothers were a group of Detroit musicians who were the house band at Detroit’s Motown Records from 1959 to 1972, when the company moved to Los Angeles. Their story was told in Paul Justman’s 2002 documentary film Standing in the Shadows of Motown, based on Allan Slutsky’s book of the same name.
