[quote name='fryer' post='802914' date='Apr 11 2010, 07:09 PM']Greg Allman wrote and performed this song, but who made it popular, a long time ago ? The version I am looking for has a nice, but simple, bass line. I can't get it out of my head.[/quote]
Erm, the Allman Brothers ... if that doesn't sound sarcy! But thats the one I always think of in respect of this song

No it's not that one, or Bob Seger, buddy miles, Joe Cocker, Juice, Kid Rock or Leanard Skynard. Or Marshall Tucker or Waylon Jennings.

Closest so far, thanks, but still not the one i'm after.

That might be the one, but I can't hear the bass on this clip. Where can I get an mp3 of it ?

The Paul Davison Rocksteady version is brilliant, hypnotic stuff. Perfect rhythm guitar and that rolling bassline is a classic.
