Jamerson's actual bass track from "I Can't Get Next to You" by The Temptations, from the original Motown master tape. This track with full band & vocal , MINUS DRUMS, can be found at my website (see link below).

Thumbs up if you hear the beat in your head while this vid is playing

Thanks for taking the time to let us bass players hear this great work

@Kenteman Great! You perfectly described my feelings listening to him, my friend!

[smokinjoe1984]

@AroundTheWaymon he improvised them in the studio :)

[LouisHaynes2]

@AroundTheWaymon We was more improvising than writing. If you listen to the bassline of the Studio version of What's Going On and then the live version you'll see that Jamerson creates a different bassline that is also amazing.

Mr. "LEGENDARY" Sir. James (MoToWn) Jamerson kept that Bottom BASS to the T, cheers! ;0)

Although I noted Jamerson's work on many songs, it's the bongo's, guitars and piano interplay that amazed me the most on this particular song. Great precision and timing.

[AroundTheWaymon]

Man, did this guy write all those bass lines? Pure genius!

[DOCJAMBEATS]

This man was super human. Pure genius!

I found Jamerson's style helps me so much in creating basslines for my band, Pluto's Orbit...as i use his style especially in our song "Eye to Eye" I cant say i love any other bassist besides James Jamerson.

Ahhhh the sound of DIRTY STRINGS. Master Bass Player , Schools in session!!!!

[ROCKSTARCRANE]

This is the way electric bass was meant to sound. None of that stupid pop-slap-twang crap with round wound strings that sound more like a damn piano.....
