Thx for doing this Bob. I was just thinking about Stevie and that he's got to be one of the top 5 most proficient musicians in our generation. He could be #1, but, I hate competitions. Who were his mentors? The Funk Brothers. Right place, right time, right talent and attitude. Bless Stevie and JJ.

Hi guys, I just wanted to post this live Martha Reeves clip featuring James Jamerson on bass. Great stuff. Looks like Jeff Porcaro or maybe Keltner on drums. Enjoy!!

A reminder of how Jamerson made the bass sing

Ain't No Sun Since You've Been Gone - The Temptations - YouTube

1:50 - 2:05 is a bass break that is truly bad ass. Wow!

Care to elaborate?

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I'm tempted to get this collection. Does anyone know if its Jamerson on bass ?

Yes, Jamerson would be the bassist on the record you linked to.

Quoting myself here. Just picked up this double CD and wanted to let everyone know, it contains some bonus tracks that are pretty cool, including the Jamerson tunes, " Fever in the Funk House ", Greedy Green ", and " Behold ". Also, a version of " The Flick ". Great double CD !
