Who all played electric bass for Chess between 1965-1975? More specifically Little Milton's work in this era.

God Bless, Ray

Louis Satterfield played on "Grits Ain't Groceries" and most of the stuff in the mid to late '60s. Chess's stuff in the early '70s wasn't voluminous. Louis Satterfield and Charles Stepney (keys) were the brains behind a lot of the late '60s early '70s stuff along with Ron Malo. Stepney joined Earth Wind and Fire until he died. Satterfield switched to trombone and joined Earth Wind and Fire from '74-'81.
