And if yes, what was it? (the song and/or album and band)
By charting I mean the billboard's top 100 (or so) in the USA..Or whichever chart from your country if outside North America.. |

Wouldn't you like to know?! | | Join Date: Apr 2000 Location: Atlanta | | | Yep. I played bass on "There's Hope", the second single off of India.Arie's latest album, and it was #1 on Billboard for a couple of weeks. I even got a platinum plaque for it. LaMarquis Jefferson played on that album as well. As for Marq's charted albums list, it's too long!

Woot.

I played on the 'first take' of a song by a major R&B artist back in the 80's. Sadly, my part was replaced by another bassist! I guess that meant I sucked!  I believe the song went Gold! |

Seymour Duncan/Basslines SMB-5A Endorsing Artist | | Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: Cuernavaca 1 hr S Mexico City | | | My first charting "single" was in early 1974 . . . Al Wilson's "Show and Tell", produced by Jerry Fuller and arranged by H. B. Barnum . . . #1 Billboard Hot Singles.
The most recent one was a couple'a months ago . . . Joan Sebastian's "Eso y Mas" produced by Joan Sebastian and arranged by the two of us (it's just his voice, his guitar and my fretless bass) . . . #6 Billboard Hot Latin Tracks.
The CD that contains that "single" also won a Grammy in 2006 (as well as 2 Latin Grammys) |

If you haven't heard the one we released last year, give it a try - it's my best work.

BTW, congrats to you, too, for your (relatively) recent successes.
Also congrats to nysbob . . . your continuing participation with that group of musicians says a LOT about your musical abilities and artistic sensibilities.
Good luck and long life to both of you guys . . . | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
