YouMa Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Just listened to just about everything the Jackson 5 did and didnt realise quite how superb the tunes were,Jamerson seems to be all over the early stuff wish i new more about the blokes behind the playing,beautiful harmonies and cute hooks. 2-4-6-8 is my fav apart from the more well known ones.

colgraff Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Jackson 5 bass lines are the ones I consistently find hardest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubinga5 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) Its a favorite J5 record. The horns are great. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gvTrG-_NTU[/media] Edited March 24, 2016 by bubinga5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubinga5 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I think Micheal's young voice is quite astonishing. i hear lots of young fantastic singers on youtube, but none of them touch him. I prefer his voice when he was younger to his voice when his stylised it later. Much more natural. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=270Fr-B4ad0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike257 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I Am Love is an epic, worth holding out the full 7+ minutes it lasts to hear it go from mellow slowie into space-funk workout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spongebob Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I've just been learning 'I Want You Back' for a band - never realised there was so much going on in there, it's amazing. About a thousand great ideas in a 3-minute pop song. It's a cliché, but they don't make them like that any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EssentialTension Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 The 'I Want You Back' bassline, like a lot of great basslines, works all on its own without the rest of the music; it's a tune in itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldbass Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) And then there's Darling Dear...drop dead beauty in the busiest musical bass line ever written.
