Ladies & Gentlemen...James Jamerson



This?

Moved me.

As one friend pointed out, Jamerson played "all with one finger."

It's just Stevie Wonder's "For Once In My Life" with an isolated bass track that someone visualized, Iggy. Something we've all heard countless times, but probably never like this.

Hello all...no, please remain seated,

THAT was remarkable. Play those notes on a strat and you'd have a pretty melodic solo for the song. But this was what was going on down in the engine room of that record! My gobs are smacked.
