Me'shell Ndegeocello & The Funk Brothers. You Really Got a Hold on Me.

So embedding the song I want to post about today is disabled by youtube, which made me investigate a little. 

First, the song is Me'shell Ndegeocello's version of You Really Got a Hold on Me, which as far back as I can remember first ever hearing it when I was 11 or so has been one of my favorite ever love songs.  It came on my contempo-influenced soul station on Pandora today.  It's just so good, the contained passion of it.  It's soo precise.  Aghghhg god. 

In the meantime what I discovered was a documentary about the band she is performing with, The Funk Brothers, which is what the clip is from, Standing in the Shadows of Motown.  Now added to my summer queue.
