Welcome to Moe's!

Hey y'all prepare yourself for the rubberband . . .
man!
You've never heard a sound like the rubberband . . .
man!
You're bound to lose control when the rubberband . . .
starts to jam!

"I'll Be Around", I dig the most--pretty much the last blast of '60s Motown-style R&B, recorded on Atlantic and released in '72, the same year Motown moved to L.A. without the Funk Brothers . . . which brings me to Joe Hunter, who also died this weekend.

You'd know the "I'll Be Around" bass and horns anywhere, but you've heard Joe Hunter everywhere. He and the Funk Brothers "played on more number-one records than The Beatles, Elvis, The Rolling Stones, and The Beach Boys combined": "Papa Was a Rolling Stone"; "Come See About Me"; "Tears of a Clown"; "Shotgun"; "Heat Wave."

They deserve better obituaries than these.
