Don Peake returns to the show and this time we take a closer look at his work as a session guitarist. As the staff guitarist at Motown Records, Don helped define the "Motown Sound" and we take a closer look at one of the most distinctive and influential styles of music mixing R&B, funk, blues, jazz and pop. Also we take another look at Don playing with the Wrecking Crew. And we delve deeper into his playing in a big band, the function of the guitar in the orchestra and his groundbreaking gig with Ray Charles.
