Favorite Lee Sklar track

"I Do" by Lisa Loeb on her album Firecracker. Awesome bass track and sweet groove drumming as well.
Dear D. A. i think this is good ol´Pino, i used to think it was Lee too, but checking out the booklet that comes with the CD i read that Pino played on that song, can´t say i was dissapointed!
There's almost too much out there to favor. But I'll quote an article instead...
On his magic producer switch: "I used to have a bass with a 'producer switch' on it. That's wht I called it. All I did was drill a hole and install a toggle switch; it wasn't wired to anything. When the producer would ask for something different, i'd flip the switch and he'd go [gives the thumbs up sign], "that's great!'"
Classic stuff.

REALLY???
I guess I just assumed because Lee was on so much of that album, and the album before that one, and ALL of the videos, that he was on that track as well. It was always my favorite Phil Collins track, and I love that synth-like, 1/2-step bend in the fill that gets repeated throughout the song. Guess that means Pino played on at least two of my favorite basslines (New York Minute being the obvious other one) from the 80s.
I humbly retract my submission. Lee is still the man though.
I'd also find a way to extract some of this stuff.... Nothing showy, but there's lots of solid playing, and some nice bass moments interspersed throughout.
That song was recorded at Trident Studios in London, and Paul McCartney was credited with the bass part. James Taylor was one of the earliest artists signed to Apple Records.
