We all have our favourite players and tunes. What are you really digging at the moment. I'll start you off. Just re-discovered this. My bro bought the 12 inch when it first came out - he's always had better taste than me and he is a drummer!

God the vocal on tht is weird! IMO, other than in daft punk songs, vocoder doesnt really sound right in in funk/soul!

The breakdown of this song is quite fun to play.

Jeez, that is good. Forgotten about that.

Also really like this at the moment - the bass is fairly simple but i love the way it is used as an intro. And the hissy sound of (i presume) tape. Yeah baby.

Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons (say what?)

I was gonna say that :)

Nah, seriously Bruce Thomas was a very good, inventive bassist, and that is a cracking example.

very naughty post. Wow - loving the variety - the new stuff and trips down memory lane. Always pays to keep an open mind.

Try this for size:

The O'Jays. Is this one of the first uses of some kind of distortion on a bass?

Willy Weeks in Donny Hathaway's "Little Ghetto Boy".



That's what I call bass playing.[/quote]

Indeed - this has been one of the regular CDs in my motor for the last year. My dad gave me the album! He (Willy) does one of the most rythmic bass solos (owes a lot to the drummer to) which is a pure joy. Not loads of tapping (yawn) and slapping but pure and beautiful bass. Nice.
