I saw the Funk Brothers last month .I had a chance to talk to Bob Babbit after the show , and get his autograph . Super cool guy . He was talking to the guy ahead of me about who played what on bass . Very interesting .
Now I don't want to start anything . I don't know much about Bob Babbit . Does'nt it seems he's getting alot of Jamersons glory ?
LOVE that Marvin Gaye on youtube !!!
Is there some kind of list of what Jamerson played on ?

| Bob's THE other Detroit Motown bass player of note. He's got a lot of glory of his own, and from everything I've heard and read, he's more than willing to defer the mantle of "glory" to others.

Also How long has that evening train been gone is amazing as well, also in the SITSOM book. |

and the other is the way he could climb up on top of a beat an then lay back, no one has ever mastered it the way he did, although Jaco and JPJ came close at times, james was the influence
the understated way that he accomplished these little twists is what makes them so incredible, no hitting anyone over the head with an idea, a gentle delivery all the time

Babbitt should get his own glory, a fine bassist in his own right. He was also famous for his unprecedented, extremely long bass solo on "Scorpio". They talked about that in the movie too. I remember it from when I was a kid. Monster record for it's time. |

Alan Gorrie of AWB (Average White Band) says it may the the finest recorded bass line in the history of music.
By the way, Chuck Rainey played the Jackson 5's ABC.
KT | Yeah the Jackson 5 ABC was the album for me. When that album was released, I was kid in the 70's I didn't have a clue. I was thinking "Damn, Jermaine is a bad MF on bass" and he singing also"?! I was aware of Jamerson, Rainey etc. until much later.
Another album for me was Smackwater Jack by "Q" but particular "Anderson Tapes". Who played bass on that one or should this be asked in other thread???!  |
