Looked everywhere to find out who the Bassist on this is, but no luck.

But he grooves great on this.

 

 

Thanks for posting this.....Great to hear it again.....I was an 18 year old drummer at the time but loved the bassline as i did pretty much every funky bassline from the era.

This tune set the clubs on fire, in particular for me, The Durham Ox Grantham, The Painted lady on the Melton/Leicester road, The Barn in Hockley Heath [revolving stainless steel dance floor with huge glitter ball hanging over it...If you wasn't 'getting down' yourself it was a great vantage point to scan the chics in the whole room] and another old haunt, Millionaires in B'ham city centre.

The music was the scene.....Great days indeed!

That was a forgotten blast from the past! B|

Can't help with the bass player, but spent an enjoyable hour reading up about Gene, Carl Davies, Chi-Sound Records, Edwin Starr, Curtis Mayfield, and Chicago soul in general.

Apologies if this has been posted before:
