The Funk Brothers lineup on the song

[edit]

First of all, both the Supremes version and the Marvelettes version (as already mentioned in the article) showcase Raynoma Liles Gordy on the Musitron/Ondioline. I don't know anything about the lineup on the Supremes version, but I read somewhere (and it's original reasearch until I find the source) that the lineup on the Marrvelettes version consists of bandleader/keyboardist Joe Hunter, bassist James Jamerson, drummer Benny Benjamin, guitarist Larry Veeder, tenor saxophonist Hank Cosby, and baritone saxophonist Andrew "Mike" Terry. I can't remember the source, but I seem to remember it being a trustworthy one, in the conventional sense, I don't know how reliable it'd be by Wikipedia standards. Finding out with certainty about who played what on these songs is often difficult, as the musicians were uncredited (Motown Records didn't list the credits until 1971). Does anyone have a reliable (by Wikipedia standards) source?--2601:153:901:60C0:4030:5257:78E8:CB2E (talk) 10:51, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
