Damn. You have have quite the bass there.

Thanks - just a Japanese 62 RI with EMG's - I figure they'll send me free equipment if I can get enough comments like yours!

[SoulDiscretion]

Super to see the notes how they were played. JJ put 16ths in and played with Jazz progressions to give that fantastic Motown sound. I see you got a 60's Precision - just like JJ's. Fabulous work, great song too.. İ think I'll cover it... wanna do the bass part?

[tedkay]

Great! Just great. Its a shame most of the world don't even know Jamerson. You did a great job! And all these people asking about strings...THey don't matter. Its the feel! Thanks for sharing!

[jamersonshook]

Hi erik - Thanks! No worries about questions - I love the way Jamerson wraps the line around the words on this, and it's got to be one of the best ballads of all time - Gladys at her very best.

[live4motown]

I had the honor of telling Gladys Knight this was one of my favorite songs by her, It gave me goose bumps between the bass line and her singing....She even sang a line of the son for me.

[jamersonshook]

Wow live4 - that's wonderful - She's my favourite.
