The last of the Motown Funk Brothers. So many great sounds to remember.

Thanks, for the heads up on this sad occasion, sfceric64.

Eddie Willis may not have been a household name in the early days of Motown. He was a household sound though.

Thanks, Eddie for all the good times your contribution made. You will stand the test of time as one of the best.

RIP Mr. Willis.
