The Four Tops on Motown 1968 covering Daydream Believer

The bass line is killer!

Yep. Definitely JJ. How he did all that with one finger still amazes me!!

The way the bassline works in this song is so far removed from what I would have come up with that I am reminded why I love the bass guitar and the role it plays in music

Sounds more like Bob Babbitt to me...

What a brilliant bassist, it can never be overstated what a genius to the instrument he was. A study in greatness!
