Chris, would you consider adding Aretha Franklin's 'Going Down Slow" to your todo list? Someone did a YT cover, but the video quality makes it a little difficult to follow in some places. Absolutely no rush. TIA

 

[Fragile Thunder]

There's a transcription of that Aretha tune out there if it'll help.

Same song, very different bass line.
There are no musicians mentioned on the album. I think it's Jerry Jemmott, but Fontalla Bass isn't on his (Wikipedia) CV. Anyone know who plays bass on this one?
