Does anyone know who the bass player was for "We Are Family" on this Sister Sledge Album? "We Are Family (Remastered)" released on Sept. 18th 2006, Synergy Ent. Here is the amazon link if it helps: http://www.amazon.com/We-Are-Family-...680228&sr=1-24
Thanks...

Why didn't I write the song like that?!" Afterwards, he found out that Bernard had passed out, came to, and jumped back in one on the "one".  Groove is in the heart, fellas. The groove is in the heart!
