M-N-Y Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 The bass on this track is played by a 16year old Bobby Vega which makes it all the more remarkable I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Academy Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 Just thought I'd thank everyone who's kept this thread going. I thought I'd heard everything funky, but I've discovered some great new grooves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubinga5 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) just goes to show how popular your thread was/is Pete.... got to love Pleasure.. like a cross between EWF and the Ohio Players.. the great sound of a jazz bass... what i love about this band it wasnt just straight up funk, it had some very melodic elements in there sound...[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GH-9lEAjWgQ[/media] Edited January 2, 2012 by bubinga5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackduran Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 There's any number I could have picked, but plumped for this seeing as it kicks off with the bass. Great playing/tone. Allen McGrier, I believe? http://youtu.be/FEFw_EnCuNE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubinga5 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 imo.... although its alot faster in tempo, than we might be used to, i think this is fabulous,, Maceo Parker is so so good on this ... for me, the performance of this man is enough.. the things on top are just pure gold..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ni5ELUVM2eI#!

KennysFord Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I think I may have posted this one earlier on in the thread a few eons ago, anyways, for any late comers here you go. Randy Bramwell on the Bass. I had the pleasure of talking to him a while back and he was chuffed I remembered this track and that it's in my all time favourite top 10. Hope you all enjoy it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5l4EdaeCsE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
