What is your favorite motown James Jamerson song. I think my favorite is "Reach out- I'll be there." The bass is really cool in this song, plus the song itself is pretty cool. What do you think? |

Also, I love "If I Was You Woman" by Gladys Knight and the Pips, and "You're All I Need", by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrel. So many great ones, my mind is spinning.

| | | | "If I Were Your Woman" is Jamerson? I'm surprised...it's a nice line, just doesn't have all the "Jamerson-isms" one would expect. IMO.

| | | | "What's going on" is the best and I'm also into "Reach out, I'll be there" |

| | | | Any one of Jamerson's can be favorites, but here's some I love to just play (or try to)......Not necessarily in any order!
1) Diana Ross's version of "Aint No Mountain High Enough." An alltime classic example of straight up space and bottom!!!!!!!
2) Junior Walker's Home Cookin. Just a fierce bass and drum funk track!!!!!!
3) The Marvellettes' "Here I Am Baby." Feel the warmth on this track!!!!!!
4) Stevie Wonder's "House On A Hill." There's a one bar part where everybody lays out except Jamerson. The baddest "just let the bass kick ass" lick of alltime!!!!!!!!
I got more, but I'll keep it here!!!!!! Peace. |

Bernadette- ...wow...
Marvin & Tami's Ain't No Mountain High Enough- 2 minutes is just too short.

and ofcourse Bernadette | Gladys Knight's original version of "Grapevine" is my favorite, also "My Guy" by Mary Wells, he just kills on acoustic.
