The Funk Brothers were a group of session musicians who played on many of Motown's greatest hits during the 1960s. Key members included bassist James Jamerson, drummer Benny Benjamin, guitarists Robert White and Eddie Willis, and keyboardists Earl Van Dyke and Joe Hunter. Their contributions helped define the distinct sound of Motown, supporting artists like Marvin Gaye, The Supremes, and The Temptations. Despite their crucial role, many Funk Brothers remained largely unrecognized until later in their careers.
