Just got off the phone with Ed. 'Higher and higher' was recorded at United with the Funks. They did three songs in total (didn't mention which ones). Joe Syracuse (United owner) engineered the session.
-
'Higher and higher' was recorded at United Sound System in Detroit, as were many Brunswick, Chess/Checker etc. recordings. According to Ed Wolfrum, many companies came to Detroit to record because of the Funk Brothers. Jim Webb's 'McArthur Park' track was recorded at United too!!

'Shake me break me' is not the actual title. Ed Wolfrum played me two versions of it under the real title 'That's what I get'. Don't know whether the vocal exists.

Just got off the phone with Ed Wolfrum. I asked him about the Future record. He said it was a project initiated by a guy called Bob Stonehouse who came to him with a mixed race group ( at a time when no mixed groups existed) he wanted to record. Ed said he was a 'complete novice' but he helped him out anyway. It was recorded at United Sound and he thought it '...most likely' that it was Mike T. Whenever they got the chance to use Mike they did. When it was finished Stonehouse gave Ed a production and writing credit, as a token of his thanks, even though he contributed neither! Hope this is helpful.

Mike Terry left Motown in 1967 and he was definitely on it so it was cut in that year. Melvin confirmed this too.
-
Melvin Davis played drums on it and Mike Terry played the bass sax.
-
He co wrote and produced 'I'm stuck on my baby' and ' Why do you treat me like you do' for Irene and the Scotts too.

Very sad to report that legendary Motown bass player Bob Babbitt passed away this morning. He played on thousands of Motown and other Detroit label recordings, as a member of the Funk Brothers and as a session musician around the city. He will be sadly missed. added by site http://www.bobbabbitt.com/about.htm As Bob's reputation grew, so did his recording schedule. One frequent employer was local R&B producer Ed Wingate, who owned Golden World studio. During this period Babbitt first came into contact with some of Motown's moon- lighting musicians, including keyboardists Joe Hunter and Johnny Griffith, guitarist Eddie Willis, drummer Benny Benjamin, and-most important-bassist James Jamerson, the troubled genius... "Working at Motown was the hardest thing I ever did, because I always felt like I was in the hot seat," he sighs. "I cut 'Touch Me in the Morning,' 'Signed, Sealed, Delivered,' 'Smiling Faces,' 'War,' 'Tears of a Clown,' and a lot of other hits for the company (see discography), but I never felt.... Bob got the opportunity to make a once-in-a-lifetime artistic statement on Marvin Gaye's What's Goin' On. "Marvin and [arranger] Dave Van dePitte basically left us wide open to create," recalls Bob The full informative and recommended article can be read here http://www.bobbabbitt.com/about.htm -

Eddie 'Chank' Willis got his nickname from supplying those distinctive backbeat licks heard on so many records - Motown and other labels.
