Minnie Riperton - Inside My Love

[Captain Bassman]

Been listening to this beautiful song again after many years (guaranteed lay, every time BTW!! ) and the bass line has really caught my ear. It sounds like Chuck Rainey but since I don't have any sleeve notes I can't be sure.

Anyone in the know?

It was the utterly unfamous Ed Brown on this album. Good stuff!

ETA: Don't forget Minnie broke the rules with "Lovin You" - no bass player. Meh.

OK, thanks! Ed Brown it was then...(who?? )

Very tasty bass line from the Brownster though!

And, she kind of broke the rules of the time with the lyrics on IML too. 'Will you come inside me'...

Say no more Min!

Great artist.

Check out her first album, 'Come To My Garden'. Excellent upright work on there.

Actually, all her albums are great.....compilation called 'Les Fleurs' gives a good overview to any new fans.

Superb Minnie, 'I am the black gold...' with Rotary Connection, absolutely timeless. She was receptionist at Chess records too apparently

+1 to Les Fleurs as a great compilation, funky as f**k!
