AussieBassman Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Standing In The Shadows Of Love by the 4 Tops? Sounds like it's played with a pick so probably not Mr. Jameson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~tl Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 According to this page it was Jamerson: [url="http://www.bassland.net/jamersonhits.htm"]http://www.bassland.net/jamersonhits.htm[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crez5150 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I'm pretty sure it was Jamerson..... I believe Bob Babbitt did some work on these type of sessions but this was after the release of Standing in the Shadows of Love..... but then I could be wrong ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenshirt Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Perhaps, Mr Jamerson had grown the nail on his playing finger and that's why it sounds a bit more picky? Mart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

risingson Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 She's an amazing bass player but she hasn't done herself justice by what she's said in the past concerning her part in Motown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexclaber Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Just listening to the remixed and remastered instrumental only version from the film soundtrack. 100% Jamerson! Fingerstyle but he's overdriving the input on the desk, hence the added grrr (which is common to most Motown bass tracks). Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever. You know that Entwistle bloke who used to supposedly play with the Who? That was her with a sticky on beard. And that Jocko bloke? Her in a wig. Anthony Jackson? Kaye, fat suit, boot polish.

alexclaber Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 If you haven't got it, check out the soundtrack to Standing In The Shadows Of Motown, the deluxe 2-disc version. One disc of the concert that's shown in the film and another disc full of original Motown tracks minus the vocals. Great to hear the band exposed, especially with the bass pushed higher in the mix - and the best karaoke backing tracks you'll ever get to sing along with.

So she made a statement, which I haven't seen her repeat. Hardly an "attitude" being struck there I feel. Also I don't think that a few cheap shots from Basschat constitutes "messing up a reputation". Carol Kaye was recording for Motown in LA, along with Wilton Felder and others, and it's a fact that a lot of LA recorded bass sessions got overdubbed by James Jamerson back in Detroit. But, whatever, her reputation for playing on 1000's of sessions and 100's of hit records stands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex[/quote] I've been playing that double CD almost non-stop for the last week! It certainly sounds like Mr Jamerson, and as suggested maybe a bit liefted by the desk.

That's what I mean. But hey, I've just read it on the web.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
