Uriel Jones, a member of the famed "Funk Brothers, passed away at the age of 74. According to The Free Press:
"Jones was a member of the loose-knit group of musicians known as the Funk Brothers, a revolving group of players who performed the backing tracks on Motown tunes recorded at the famed studio on West Grand Boulevard in Detroit.
The Funk Brothers were largely unknown to the record-buying public at the time, and generally went uncredited on Motown’s releases. The members didn’t receive their first wide recognition until 2002, when a documentary film about the players, “Standing in the Shadows of Motown” was released to critical acclaim, including two Grammy awards."
The music world will miss him and thank him for his contribution to the world of music! May he rest in peace..........
