Thanks guys, it's just that P-Bass tone is so prominent that I instantly thought Jamerson, but he has been noted for playing with Curtis Mayfield but I can't find anything else.

Gooden was the bass [i]singer[/i] with the Impressions, who Mayfield split with in 1969/1970

Bass on a lot of CMs early material was played by Joseph 'Lucky' Scott, but I haven't been able to confirm that he played on Move on Up.

The theme track to the film [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Superfly-Original-Soundtrack-Curtis-Mayfield/dp/B0009VY6VE/ref=pd_bbs_sr_3/203-5550544-4765536?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1187110212&sr=8-3"]'Superfly'[/url] is brilliant.
