bassist with David Bowie

Sign in to disble this ad
I was up in the wee hours, watching VH1 or something, and a live video of David Bowie doing Fame was on- it seemed pretty recent (meaning- it didn't seem he was on cocaine), and there was a black female bassist with short (like shaved) hair. I looked over at my friend and was like "no way that is Meshell Ndegeocello playing with David Bowie", but that's who I think it is. The bass playing was funky as all get out, and she sang some too.

Any ideas?

Gail-Ann rocks like a mofo! Talk about someone who knows both exactly what to play and what not to play.
