What are you listening too ... continued?

I heard this cool funky tune this a.m. on an "oldies" station in my car. When I got home I had to download it 'cause it's got this great bass/groove to it. I think it's from the 60s or 70s but I'm having a ball with it. Way cool and lots of fun.
Archie Bell and The Drells (1968)

I was a radio DJ for years. In that time, I used to work for an Oldies station for awhile. I used to love playing that song. The songs of the 60's and early 70's have some of the best bass lines I've ever heard, IMO.
 
Joe Jackson's Greatest Hits - some very cool bass lines on some of these tunes; especially Right and Wrong and Is She Really Going Out With Him?

.38 Special Anthology - Larry Junstrom is a very good bassist and does some great riffs. He was also a founding member of Lynyrd Skynyrd.

My drummer just gave me a tribute CD called Jaco Pastorius Big Band "Word of Mouth Revisted" with lots of guest bass players to check ouy.
