Bassist for "Burning Love" by Elvis Presley

[barroso]

I absolutely love the song, the vibe and movement. I also find the bass line to be the quintessential one for my tastes.

Do you know who recorded this tune in the studio?

Scheff?
maybe Dunn?

I'm not sure who played it originally but I have to agree, it's a pretty cool bass line. I'm actually in a band right now where I'm playing the bass line and singing the lead vocal, although I don't think I'm doing either nearly as well as the original recording... not easy.\

I especially like the little lick he does going into the third verse.

Ahh, found it: Emory Gordy Jr.

If i'm correct, that would either be Jerry Scheff, Duke Bardwell or Bob Moore (Scotty Moore's brother, I think).

Ok, I stand corrected.

Jerry Scheff's son Jason has been Chicago's bassist for many years; he replaced Peter Cetera...

Emory Gordy probably should have his own thread, I love his work with Rosanne Cash and Emmylou Harris!

i will investigate on the other recordings he did.
