In the spirit of the "What is your favourite James Jamerson bass line??" thread, I figured I'd start this one in tribute to Mr. Dunn. Let 'em rip. Thanks!

| | | | "Knock on Wood" is great.
Also, everything on Otis Redding's "Dictionary of Soul" album, but particularly "She Put the Hurt on Me" and "Love Have Mercy." |

All of them.
Although, I love the line from "I can't turn you loose".
Cheers,
Chris

| | | | Haha... so I'm watching The Blues Brothers and I come upon this thread. I'd have to say She Caught The Katy is one that comes to mind. |
