Every Bass player needs a Theme Song

[soulstew]

Jerry Jemmott playing the riff originally done by Tommy Cogbill. Chuck Rainey used it on a different King Curtis cut a few years later.

My dad is a sax player, so this is the sort of stuff I grew up listening to in lily-white northern Minnesota, about as far as you can get from Memphis and still be near the Mississippi river.

So I have come to realize every bass player, like every super hero needs a theme song. And every bass player needs one unique to themselves, so no duplicates. Post your theme song. Extra points for video links.

I will start.



Thanks

This tune has had more influence than I care to admit. Some, good. Some, not so much.

My son always wants to know my favorite this or that, but I always insist I don't have a any faves. So I'll just go with what I'm grooving on today, NG La Banda with their 1994 timba classic "Santa Palabra." You can't see Feliciano Arango much on bass, but you can hear him. The great Calixto Ovieda on drums, Tony Calá lead vox, José Luis Cortés director, backing vox

As someone commented it's almost impossible to find only one...
But I have to choose, this one has stayed with me for so many years and always chills my spine ...

Hmmm...if you were to ask my wife it might be this one since I've been playing it continuously for the past week. For those who care, this is the earlier recording by Jack McVea, one of my fave CA tenors.

Music of my youth. A cool kid had to have a cool theme song.
