Hi,
happen to be looking through Youtube and saw this very old video of Stevie Wonder in sesame street.

The song he did had a killer bass line, can anyone tell me who's the bass player? not sure if it's nathan watts.

Not sure who it is but I've watched that clip a million times. Awesome!

That could very well be the 18 year old version of Nathan Watts.

thanks guys, I think i found the guy and it's Scott Edwards since he played with Stevie until 1973 (the video was taken at 1972) and he did mention that he was the one on sesame street

It's Scott...at first, people around here thought it was a young Anthony Jackson.
Edwards has posted a few times here on TB...it's him.
