about

Want to get all choked up? Watch "Standing in the Shadows of Motown," about the incredible Funk Brothers band that played on virtually all the great Motown tunes you know, but went about their jobs quietly and with virtually no recognition for their amazing contribution to the world of music. The Motown sound is a clear influence in this tune and we're sure the Funk Brothers would know just how to groove it. This is our tribute to the quiet, the loyal and the true - in the hope that one day they'll reap the rewards they deserve.

lyrics

He was the first to arrive, and the last to leave

Now I know that you're feelin' lonely
In the middle of a group of friends
And I know that you dream of someone
To stick by you to the end

Now you're searching high and low
In the bars and the hotels too
But did you ever think of looking
Right in front of you?

He was the first to arrive, and the last to leave
And he ain't sayin' nothing, he keep it up his sleeve
I know he may be shy, but if attitude is anything to go by
He was the first to arrive, and the last to leave

Who was the one
Who reassured you when you were down?
Never said a word,
But made an effort just to be around?

He was the first to arrive, and the last to leave
And he ain't sayin' nothing, he keep it up his sleeve
I know he may be shy, but if attitude is anything to go by
He was the first to arrive, and the last to leave

You want a proud an honest man
A fella who can stand by you
Well I don't know how you get so blind
But let me give a damn fool a clue

He was the first to arrive, and the last to leave
And he ain't sayin' nothing, he keep it up his sleeve
I know he ain't got style, but he'll do anything to make you smile
He was the first to arrive, and the last to leave

I know he may be shy, but if attitude is anything to go by
He was the first to arrive, and the last to leave
