pete.young Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 This weekend's weather caused me to dig out 'I can't stand the rain' by Ann Peebles. I'd forgotten just what a superb bassline that song has, and I realised that I had no idea who'd played it. Step forward Leroy Hodges for your moment in the basschat spotlight! We hear a lot of respect in this forum for the great James Jamerson, and quite right too. I think Leroy is right up there with him. Maybe this should have gone in the 'underrated heroes' thread, but hey! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Yep. Also check out the Hi Records catalog, especially Al Green, Syl Johnson and, of course, the rest of Ann Peebles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
