Stingray5

The Police's debut hit single Roxanne was released in '78, so I'd say Sting would have been pretty well known when Quadrophenia (the movie) came out in '79. Remember he also had a fairly big role in Dune (1984).

Give A Little Bit - Supertramp

Easy Money - John Wetton

Summer Soldier - Barclay James Harvest

@ped that second number, "Livin' On Love", put me very much in mind of one of my all-time fave bands, Little Feat. The feel and groove and even a touch of slide guitar. So I checked out the credits and, blow me down if one of the co-writers of that song isn't Craig Fuller who was a member of 'Feat from 1988-1996. Loved the bass on both tracks btw - right in the pocket!

Hymn of the Seventh Galaxy - Return to Forever

Alone Again Or - Love

Slave To The Rhythm - Grace Jones

Me too!

'57 Chevrolet - Billie Jo Spears

You Need Hands - Max Bygraves

Get the Funk Out Ma Face - The Brothers Johnson

Dancing On The Ceiling - Lionel Ritchie

Swimming Upstream - Glen Campbell

TOTALLY!!

It Won't Hurt (Half as Much) - Them feat. Van Morrison

Y Viva España - Sylvia

Denture Want Me, Baby? - Human League

I picked up this album many years ago by keyboardist/producer Michel Colombier which included Jaco and also Larry Carlton on guitar, Steve Gadd on drums, Airto on percussion, etc. But I was blown away by the track, "Dreamland", which (for me) features Jaco at his melodic and sublime best.

That's a great find, your new Ray looks a beaut! (And yeah, probably best not to say what you paid for it - I'm jealous enough, as it is! ).

Spice Of Life - Manhattan Transfer

Keep The Customer Satisfied - Simon and Garfunkel

...and that maple fretboard. Mmmmm..... maple!

That's just lovely! Enjoy!
