Bob Babbit can be seen in the DVD Standing In The Shadows Of Motown which was made about 10 years ago and featured nearly all of the surviving Funk Brothers. It tells the story of the Motown studio musicians and includes a concert where those survivors show they've lost none of their chops!
Hmm, don't forget, not to take any credit from them, but it wasn't just Bob and James on those records-Carol Kaye (of the Wrecking Crew) played a lot of the bass parts on the Motown recordings...
Indeed Cockroach - the subject of a lot of debate a few years ago. It appears never to have been established which songs, if any, she played on but likely only after Motown moved to California in the mid 70s - and even then it was suggested it was on demos only. Most of the songs are now properly credited to these guys (part of the funk brothers band), which they weren't originally.
