A joyful documentary celebration of the Funk Brothers, the dozen or so anonymous session musicians who played the instruments on nearly every single Motown song. The movie, a revelatory aural journey, gets you to hear something you've always known without realizing it: that the magic of the Motown sound was, quite literally, its sound.
