[oiznas]

You can find Carol Kaye's groovy bassline transcribed in BASS PLAYER May 2011 issue!

[51362879]

@oiznas Way cool!  I'll look for it. Such a fantastic player of bass and jazz guitar.

LEEEEEETTTTTTTT'SSSSS DOOOOOOOO THHHIIISSSSSSSSSS!!!

[patrick9648]

I've been watching reruns of the old Bill Cosby Show on Retro Television Network and the theme song was such a trip. I just had to look it up. Somebody should call the police because anything this funky ought to be against the law.

[pvx]

I wonder if this song is where Adam Sandler got his inspiration for his Bill Cosby character on SNL (with the frizzle frazzle and the hizzle dizzle ;) )...

[EfedNation]

Cocaine is one hell of a drug!

[11kful]

Chet Kincaid lives...

[jbasedig]

JC on a popcicle stick!!!! All you guys/girls asking, "where can I find the tab(bass)" Where can I find the tab??... Well G**dam* it;s in the May 2011 of Bass Player Magazine. However....take or leave it... my advice that is. Take it from someone who has dedicated half his life to bass yet holds down dull teaching job. Go for it. TRUST YOUR EARS AND DON"T WAIT FOR THE GURU TO COME ALONG . If you have to listen to the same part 6000 times... it;s worth it, because YOU ...... LEARNED yo'self.

[ALLERTORLOVER69]

this is what happens when bill cosby and quincy jones get drunk

[scutte2000]

This was my favorite of all of Cosby shows, this theme was SMOKIN`!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kayleedee1]

"Hikky Burr" bass notation is in Carol Kaye Electric Bass Lines No. 2. "I was Made to Love Her" bass notation is in Carol Kaye Electric Bass Lines No. 4. Enjoy.

[BIGBOTTOM32]

@kayleedee1 Hikky Burr is funky as hell and Carol King deserves big props, but she IS NOT the bass palyer on "I was made to love her". The producer and the other musicians on that session agree it was the great James Jamerson. CK didn't claim to have played on that and other Jamerson tracks until he died.

[Bambrose92]

I've got a copy of the sheet music. I just played it today at a district jazz fest. I could tab it out for you guys and e-mail it or something. Or just put it on a tab site and post the link.

[koko544]

@Bambrose92 have you got the bass tab? usee im a bass player and i likka play jazz etta bleus...

[leexray]

@koko544 - The *complete* bass tab for this is in the current (May 2011) issue of Bass Player Magazine. Even the slides and tweaks are shown. And the accompanying article is full of great info about how this was recorded. You may have to hurry to find this before the June issue bumps it off the shelf.

[jasien10]

bass tabs ?

[vscol]

Funky and funny

[wongleebruce]

Only if the Bill Cosby Show could have been as big of a hit as the Cosby show. It lasted only two seasons but I still loved it better than the Cosby show. By the way what a kick ass theme song here crank it up!

[MsTexas73]

ON the DVD box set Bill does an interview about this show and he explains how NBC played him over a laugh track.

[vaderbomb93]

Greatest TV theme ever?

[nobileogami]

Masterpiece... :)

[51362879]

Ah! Carol has been here. You can tell by the bass tracks!

[Tomrrrrrr]

sounds like you know what you're talking about. do you know a place were i can get the tabs to this song? looking for it all over the place!

[51362879]

I looked for it some time back and never found it. so I just kept listening to it until I got it by ear. Carol Kaye's bass line is such a good gruve.

good luck!

[Tomrrrrrr]

i almost got it by ear, but i cant quite figer it out. any chance that you would be able to find it in your heart to tab it?

[51362879]

man I wish i could, but I can barely read tab myself. That's why I suggested by going by ear. Takes a bit of time, and practice, but you can get it. Carol Kaye, who did the bass line, has a website. I know she's not into tab, but teaches music. you might get a hold of her at carolkaye (dot) com and she if she has the music score. But I think you're probably going to be better off freelancing it.

[shoplifting1is1fun]

@Tomrrrrrr

if you check the Carol Kaye's website out (google her name) theres a page with sound clips and it has the bass only version of this song.

A bit easier to listen and learn i found

[4eyed4stringer]

@shoplifting1is1fun Great! Thanks. Carol Kaye is an amazing bass player.
