Why I'll Always Love Music......

[Bass_In_Yer_Face]

Borrowed the wife's disco cd to play in the car this morning.

Just discovered a Chic song called 'I Want You Love'. I've never heard it before but OMFG what a bass line from Mr Edwards again.....it's been stuck in my head all morining and what a tone. I think he was famous for not swapping the strings on his Stingray ever.

It's not difficult to see why Stu Zender said he was a huge influence on his playing.

Does anyone have any other tracks worth checking out by Bernard Edwards ? (not the obvious Chic / Sister Sledge / Diana Ross I mean).

Chic:
Good Times, Le Freak, Everybody Dance

Diana Ross:
I'm Coming Out
Upside Down

Sister Sledge:
He's The Greatest Dancer
We Are Family

Absolute master of "groove" bass playing in my opinion.
