GREAT SONG BASS PLAYER SICK LEAD SINGERS VOICE CALMING YET ENERGETIC I REMEMBER YEARS AGO I WAS AT A CLUB AND THEY PLAYED THIS SONG AND THROUGHOUT THE BUILDING THE ENERGY LEVEL WENT UP TWO NOTCHES.
We proclaim boldly how we "raised our kids" with little or no help, but if this generation we see before us is the finished product, then we have failed terribly. Raising these youngsters is far more than a roof over their heads, food in their mouths or clothes on their backs, because if you havent worked hard to teach and instill values, self worth and common decency, then all you have is a bunch of well fed, well clothed idiots running around. and now those idiots are producing,....scary!!!!!
Today, the young men are soo insecure that if they have to mention the word "love". they feel threatened that they are somehow "soft". We have taken major steps backwards in the area of class and creativity. And we wouldnt even talk about the slow death of jazz and blues. R&B today isnt R&B and soul music was rendered with just that, soul. Today we get the overkill of rap, hip hop and pop, thats it. But i do love India Arie and Jill Scott to name a small handful that have substance
Music is more about quantity than quality and it makes millions selling to the immature ears of todays younsters while at the same time giving them nothing but an erray of what they call as "beats", edits, copies and samples. Real instruments are literally a thing of the past. Artists today are not true students of there craft and they dont necessarily need to be when the audience is naively indiscriminate about what they hear and call music. They just want to flop around mindless noise
geraldsurratt, I personally think the change in black music came with a dramatic change in mindset. Intelligence, being articulate and smart is no longer accepted in our hoods. if you are smart and decent but live in the hood, that makes you an outcast among your peers. In order to be accepted now one must downgrade to "pimping" and being "gangsta" or what they call "going hard". Hip hop didnt create this foolishness but it contributed greatly to making that way of thinking mainstream.
@mrsthangmjlover I don't think they were ugly ... they look like REAL people to me. Our society now days has been taught that FAKE is real. The so called "singers" now days are so fake looking, and they have been operated on to look so un-natural and plastic. Americans now days think that fake is normal.
"How did Black music go from I love you to fuck that bitch can anyone answer that for me"
When the economically weak in society are experimented on, exploited and murdered systematically (Slavery,Capitalism) and still show the resolve and strength that is the Black race. You have to invent other means to commit Genocide and that is covert operations, guns in the neighbouhood crack etc.
Oh my goodness this is my song! I had no idea there was a video. This was definitely playing in the house when I was growing up. My folks loved Slave, Evelyn Champagne King and the whole 80's post disco/ funk/new wave/ synth R&B vibe...brings back so many memories.
This video would have been much better without the band in it; the bits with just the divers, the pool and the dry ice are really haunting and romantic.
Wow if it was Sandy Anderson playing bass he sure enough studied Mark Adams. Best imitiation of Mark I ever heard Still this song has the spirit of Mark Adams' playing. From one perpective Sandy is jocking hard on Marks style, sound and approach. I spent many days playing Watching you over and over to get the right essence. Sandy put in some work for this one.
@phillybass101 "Wow if it was Sandy Anderson playing bass he sure enough studied Mark Adams. Best imitiation of Mark I ever heard Still this song has the spirit of Mark Adams' playing." Exactly! If that's Sandy Anderson, then he is a Mark Adams doppelganger! Many bass players can be imitated i.e. Marcus Miller; but Mark Adams was one who had a distinct sound of his own that I've never heard others come close to. Another bassist of that same unique caliber would be the great Bernard Edwards.
i never understand why the production was exactly the same for watching you and inside out...toooooo close musically...i know people from slave did the record...but what made them decide to do it with a few changes to the arrangement...
@geraldsurratt wish I knew the answer to that and fix it what has happened to all the feelgood music from yester years as long as we can keep these songs alive and our kids do the same there is still hope for the future.
@gemini19662010 Shoot 1981 AND 1982 were great years for music!!!! Time machine?? Well, I tried clicking my heels three times,but that didn't work either. LOL !!!
I must I feel give Credit where Credit is Due, 2 YouTube 4 Accessibility to All of the People/Users out there Whom Share there Old VHS & Cassette Tapes from back in the day when we All Recorded Our Stuff that way from the Television & Radio Equipment/s, Good Job for/to those Who/m still have that Stuff to make it/this Available 4 Us/All, Still in this late day.
According to talkbass.com it seems I was wrong about Mark Adams being the bassist on this tune, Starrchild65 is indeed correct, Sandy Anderson was the Bassist. Even Mark thought that he was playing!
@krewdemolishun Well alright. Just have a listen again. Now come on.....Sandy Anderson? Well if this so called Anderson was so talented he should have launched another funky band. We never heard of any Sandy Anderson again though. It's Mark Adams alright.
"Walking Down the Street Watching Ladies, Watching You". The same bassline from the Slave song. R.I.P. Mark Adams, one of the funkiest bass players ever.
I thought for a long time that they ripped this off form Slave. Come to find out, I think Slave, or members from Slave produced this song. That was Mark Adams on bass. Sounded way to much like Mark to be any body else. To this day nobody plays like Mark. Then or Now.
@Madbass64: You Know it Mark Adam had a distinct sound ! He did it all with a fender fretless. Like Bernard Edwards, he wasn't really funk slapper , but both of their bass lines were smooth and funky!
@MrMallymal68..Who told you that Mark played fretless and/or where did you get that idea??? At any rate it's wrong. All rounds and frets!!! And as far as him not being a funk slapper, uh, I take it you haven't heard a lot of his work. Listen to Stone Jam, Are You Ready For Love, Turn You Inside Out (Bad Enuff album), Spice of My Life (Showtime album), and I'm sure I'm missing a few others but you get the idea. :) I agree on the smooth and funky comment though.
@Basseroni1 i watched him play in london back in 1984. he did not slap that bass once!! he has incredibly strong fingers- he pulls the string to get that "slap" sound. Or at least he did. RIP Mr. Mark Adams.
@N15man..I agree that slapping wasn't the meat of his sound but he did do it here and there. Check out The Word is Out video and the tune. He was definitely slapping on that one and the other tunes I mentioned earlier.
@Madbass64 This is DEFINITELY not Mark Adams... sorry.. it's my friend Sandy Anderson.. I believe that Jimmy Douglas.. who produced Slave did this track also.. which would explain the sonic similarities. The bass breakdown is a dead giveaway... Mark plucked it.. Sandy slapped it... but it is the SAME exact chords as "Watching You" by Slave....
@Madbass64 Then you've never heard Sandy Anderson play! Sandy knew every Mark Adams lick up, down and sideways! I've known Sandy since he was about 16 years old and he was a phenominal bassist then. It was Sandy on that track. I got that straight from the producer Jimmy Douglass and keyboardist Lenny Underwood, who I also know personally.
@dwalmz Yup.. I'm friends with Lenny as well. People who aren't from NYC don't know how much of a beast Sandy was. Scary man... and down to earth too....and Lenny.. ? Please.. Lenny can smoke most cats in his sleep.. and another down to earth guy as well....
@Madbass64 Actually, it really is Sandy Anderson on bass. Don't believe what you hear in the street.... Rumor has a way making itself true if enough people say it's truth.
I don't know why some of you think this was Marc Adams on Bass. I mean, I can see where you think that, but the reality of it is Sandy Anderson IS the bassist on this track and that is the truth.
Wish music could be like it was between 1978 - 1982........music use to have soul. Nowadays it's all empty and worse most of it sounds the same...not to mention the so called "singers" of today....most of them can't even really sing!!! They all look the same...and they sound the same....like the've been mass produced by some factory. I swear it sounds like they all use the same producers...and they go to the same hairdresser. Thank you for this post!!!
and it's an absolute masterclass of a performance!
One of the greatest bass groove tracks of all time hands down. For years i was convinced they had two bass players on this joint ,that's how sick it was and still is!
@krewdemolishun Thank's homey . You can hear it when it comes on. I always thought Steve had something to do with this. You are never to old to learn.
I am glad after all these years to find out that Slave was involved in the making of this record. I thought they were getting ripped off and it bothered the hell out of me.
wow.... i've had parts of the lyrics of this song in my head for a long time.... but i could never find this song.... i recently discovered the slave song "watching you"... a great song that sounds similar.... anyway, just clicked on a random link that was on the same page as the watching you video and found this... love it... I was 11 when I first heard this, i was a little disco kid.... great songs... great bass, nice melody with a touch of melancholy and joy
@hassan1814 yes i know where but you have to fly to get it. "GRAMAPHONE" chicago,il on the northside. look it up online. i think its on clark street but cant remember the address as i dont live there anymore. i used to purchase all my records from there back in the day and i had 4 copies of this. there all gone now but check em out.
one of the few songs ever made that can be listened many times and gets better every time you hear it, incredible beautifull music and a voice coming out of heaven.

you are the best for taking me into time ! Thanks ! this is when music and feelings where true ! not like songs of today ! example > birthday sex ! Please .. back in the days its was just b-day sex while marvin was on thee radio...
If you listen to this song and and Slave's Watching You it is not the same song exactly. First of all Slave did perform the music for the song and I believed they produced it also but it is not the exact same some. Listen to both songs back to back and you'll see that the bass line is a little different NOT THE SAME SONG!!

"How did Black music go from I love you to fuck that bitch can anyone answer that for me"
When the economically weak in society are experimented on, exploited and murdered systematically (Slavery,Capitalism) and still show the resolve and strength that is the Black race. You have to invent other means to commit Genocide and that is covert operations, guns in the neighbouhood crack etc.

@krewdemolishun It was Sandy Anderson on bass. Not Mark Adams.

I am glad after all these years to find out that Slave was involved in the making of this record. I thought they were getting ripped off and it bothered the hell out of me.

wow.... i've had parts of the lyrics of this song in my head for a long time.... but i could never find this song.... i recently discovered the slave song "watching you"... a great song that sounds similar.... anyway, just clicked on a random link that was on the same page as the watching you video and found this... love it... I was 11 when I first heard this, i was a little disco kid.... great songs... great bass, nice melody with a touch of melancholy and joy

Yeah, the mighty Jesse Rae from Scotland wrote this song. And his version kicks along so much better. Check "jesse Rae Inside Out"

one of the few songs ever made that can be listened many times and gets better every time you hear it, incredible beautifull music and a voice coming out of heaven.

If you listen to this song and and Slave's Watching You it is not the same song exactly. First of all Slave did perform the music for the song and I believed they produced it also but it is not the exact same some. Listen to both songs back to back and you'll see that the bass line is a little different NOT THE SAME SONG!!
