I found this great tune on youtube, posted the bass playalong as well as the original as I like watching the guy play the super funky bassline!

I Play in a Northern Soul Covers Band. Favorite basslines? For playing my favourites would be Just can't Get enough of you by The Apollas, If Thats What You Wanted by Frank Bellamy and the Butlers. Trickiest is Music to my Heart by Patti Austin (im not that keen on funky stuff), [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7J1TQejOOg"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7J1TQejOOg[/url]
heres a classic done by us, a few years ago now - we're getting some new stuff done.

That's a really nice version - and if that's a live recording then it's even more impressive.

Just realised that this sounds like a Kazoo or comb/tissue paper..

I'm sure this is an old video - early 70s?? - but check out the hair style of the black fella at 2.20 who seems to be at least 15 years before his time....

Ha Ha, I was gigging last night and we played You been gone too long and turning my heartbeat up -which is out set closer. Happy Jack, its a mostly live recording with overdubs - just done by ourselves and a mac and firewire. Lojo, what do you want to know, we're an 8 piece out of Paisley, all bar one are old Mods and scooterists so we know our northern onions! Mick hucknalls song is a disgrace and I reckon he's ripped off Double cookin' on the piano line.

Played this once at a wedding in Dorset. I was there as a guest of the brides parents and got pulled up to play bass on one number and this was it.
We all had downed a few sherberts and it was fantastic - it was groovin', laid back and cool - loads of space....
Don't know who the band was, only that it was a great moment in my musical life.

This is great stuff, got the right feel, would love to see the brass live.
