It was just after I got back from my holiday that I saw the obituary of Joe Messina, one of the Funk Brothers, the session musicians behind the success of the Tamla-Motown record label.
Messina’s rhythm guitar was a potent driving force in the groove of those records. This is only one of the hits he played on.
Joseph Lucian (Joe) Messina: 13/12/1928 – April 4/4/2022. So it goes.
