J'avais entendu parler de ce projet via Nicolas de Soul Bag et je viens de remettre la main dessus via cdbaby.

http://cdbaby.com/cd/mofsab/from/mys35Two of America's musical heavyweights pay loving tribute to one another on this once-in-a-lifetime Double CD. Motown's legendary Funk Brothers and Philadelphia's world renown MFSB take you "back in the day" with an album filled with classic Philly and Motown hits. Recording as the Masters of Funk, Soul and Blues - with help from vocalists Bobby Taylor, Freda Payne, Bunny Sigler, Barbara Mason, George Clinton, Kathy Sledge and so many more - they've created an album that honors history as much as it creates it.
