notes:

Earl Van Dyke (July 8, 1930,  September 18, 1992) was an African 

American soul musician, most notable as the main keyboardist

 for Motown Records' in-house Funk Brothers band during the late 

1960s and early 1970s. Van Dyke, who was born in Detroit, Michigan, 

United States, was preceded as keyboardist and bandleader of the 

Funk Brothers by Joe Hunter. In the early 1960s, he also recorded as 

a jazz organist with saxophonists Fred Jackson and Ike Quebec 

for the Blue Note label.

That Motown Sound is a 1965 instrumental LP showcasing some of 

Motown’s most iconic backing tracks — but with Van Dyke’s organ 

and piano taking the lead. The album features versions of well-known

 Motown hits, transformed through vibrant keyboard 

performances and tight rhythmic grooves.
