Wasn't it sampled from Camille Yarborough's Take Yo Praise? Sounds very Jerry Jemmott

Edit: James Benjamin apparently. I've always loved the playing on that song

Another Edit: The actual bassline is not sampled from that song :-D

I did listen to the song, but was working at the same time. The general playing style and bass sound are quite similar, so I was guessing that the correct phrases would be in there somewhere, but perhaps I'd missed them. However, I enjoyed the playing on Camille Yarborough's album, and am currently considering whether to buy that album just to experience/study the bass playing.

When I get time I'll go through the 'who sampled who' links to see if I can identify the bass source. Otherwise, unless someone has a credit, I'll assume it's Norman Cook himself.
