What Song Is This Bassline From?

Quick dumb question- was watching a Damian Erskine vid and he played a bit of a line that I know but can't remember what song it comes from and it's bugging me. The link starts at the right point.

Nah- he plays it pretty point on to what it sounds like. For some reason I was thinking Stevie Wonder but couldn't find one that matched so I'm probably wrong

Lots of things. The first one I thought of was "Footprints" by Wayne Shorter.

Not that one- the line has the regular half step up/down movement between phrases.

Stevie Wonder's "I Can't Help It"?

From MJ's Off The Wall album...

...listening to the above reminded me of another Stevie Wonder classic with a similar vibe/mood: "Creepin'"-
