Coffey, Dennis

From "rock & roll kid" to honorary member of Motown's elite rhythm section the Funk Brothers, Dennis Coffey was one of Detroit's most in-demand session guitarists during the '60s and '70s. Coffey made his debut at Motown forging the unmistakable intro to the Temptations' classic "Cloud Nine," before going on to become a regular at Hitsville USA, playing on hits for Marvin Gaye, the Supremes, Stevie Wonder, Gladys Knight, and Junior Walker. Most recently, he appeared on the documentary "Standing in the Shadows of Motown,"
