Cool Jamerson story…

[Michedelic]

How Motown hit-maker James Jamerson funked up a Christmas classic on this holiday gem from 1968 — Guitar World

The Temptations' funky cover of Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer captured Jamerson at his peak powers, before personal problems began to take their toll

My entire life I've used James Jamerson as a model for R&B style bass lines and still haven't come close to scratching the surface of his genius. His "feel" for serving the song and all the slight variations he comes up with as he did on that tune are amazing. He really was a one of kind bassist. Thanks for posting it.

That was fantastic. One I have not heard before.
The line definitely has a lot of "Jamerson-isms" in it.

The Motown Christmas recordings are among my favorites of the season year after year.
