Just uploaded this one. Great stuff. Got a few seconds of the hook in there too.
This is the only video of the funk brothers in studio that I have seen... Is there anything else out there? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ps0chvoDumE

What suprised me the most is the fact that everyone is well dressed. Musicians even wear a tie!

| | | I wish I did have more, unfortunately I dont. This isnt from any secret stash or anything lol. It was on a Temptations Definitive Performances DVD I bought from Best Buy. I think it was released for the Motown 50th Anniversary.
There HAS to be some other video like this laying around elsewhere...  |

| | | | I JUST read the liner notes of the DVD, some more interesting notes...
Given the fact that Motown had not been conducting "Live" sessions with the vocalists and instrumentalists recording at the same time since at least 1963, this "session" was clearly staged for the CBS News cameras that were doing a brief piece called "The Motown Sound". Pictured in the studio are songwriters Lamont Dozier (Standing on the steps at the back of the studio), Brian Holland (The guy who cuts in on the band), Ivy Jo Hunter (Does the countdown), Russ Terrana (The engineer standing up), James Jamerson on Bass, Earl Van Dyke on piano, Bobbye Hall on congas, and from left to right on guitars Robert White, Joe Messina and Eddie Willis. The "arranger", wearing headphones and conducting the band, is William Witherspoon. To the best of my knowledge this incredibly rare piece of film is the only one of two pieces of footage ever shot at a session inside the studio known as the "Snakepit". |

They always recorded the vocals separately from what I understood. Notice the sound is very different quality from ordinary Motown tracks, probably just a mic in the middle of the room.
Thanks for the great clip! |

OT: I was just down in The Snakepit about 4 years while in Detroit for my brother's wedding. Looks pretty much the same, so you feel like you've stepped back in time when you enter it.
