The Funk Brothers: How Motown's Exploitation and Heroin Destroyed the Secret Band

"They generated more #1 hits than The Beatles, Elvis Presley, and The Rolling Stones combined. Yet, you probably don't know their names. Welcome to the dark, untold story of The Funk Brothers—the anonymous masterminds who built the multi-billion-dollar Motown empire in a suffocating Detroit basement. Driven by starvation wages, fueled by heroin, and stripped of their legal rights, these musical geniuses were exploited until their bodies broke down, only to be discarded by the very machine they created. This is the greatest intellectual property theft in music history." #TheFunkBrothers #MotownHistory #JamesJamerson #BennyBenjamin #MusicDocumentary #HitsvilleUSA #MusicIndustryExposed #ClassicSoul #DarkHistory #Motown25
