I never got a chance to meet The Funk Brothers until we did that video together and that was around 2002. I was a fan around them then just like I was when I was a kid. That stuff, for me, never changes. Even with Fred Wesley and Maceo Parker, I’m still like a fan!
The thing about Motown at that particular time, it was like house parties and socials and dances every weekend and me and my brother, Catfish, we loved to be there. We loved it! And Motown pretty dominated the events. I got it drilled into my ears a lot! That was right before my LSD days for me.
The thing about Motown was that it was all about keeping it together. The way we were coming up weren’t nothing that was together. Motown helped bring people together and maybe it was because the people who made it were so together and the vibe was so together. And it felt good.
