rw3cja Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 So here is a new post on my Jamerson Analysed website. This time it's 'Bernadette' by the Four Tops. Have a look and share around! Chris. www.jamersonanalysed.co.uk Quote
Cairobill Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Cool, this and Darling Dear are my favourite Jamerson lines... Quote
KiOgon Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Beautifully done & inspirational! I'm off to have a go at that see you next week, I hope Quote
Simon Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Good stuff, Chris and very insightful. I consider Jamerson one of my favourite players, and recall doing much of my music degree based on his playing/work. I hope however, it doesn't put people off buying a really tremendous book! (maybe a link on your site to it on Amazon or something?) Quote
natjag Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Nice work, great sound and playing, however Is that Jameson or Carol Kaye you've analysed though? Quote

[/quote] I actually messaged Carol Kaye via her Facebook page about an Elvis track she claims to have played on (Suspicious Minds). After I mentioned that copies of the session sheet show Tommy Cogbill and Mike Leech as the bass players for the session in Memphis (She is based in LA) how did she come to play bass on the track? She blocked me. I must have hit a nerve or something. Quote
JapanAxe Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 Nice playing and lovely tone Chris! I must admit I come to this page in the book, start into the piece, and give up. I need to 'get in the shed' as Mr Devine would say... Quote

I think I read somewhere that others related to the song confirmed it was Jamerson... Edit: Here's [url="http://www.bassland.net/jamerson.html"]the link[/url] about it (scroll down to Who Played Bass on Stevie Wonder's "I Was Made To Love Her"?). Edited March 30, 2015 by Simon Quote

[/quote]I guess when you have played on as many songs as she has, the memory may get sketchy. I don`t see why she would tell an outright lie to try to get credit, as she hardly needs needs the recognition Quote

No disrespect to her, but Jameson's playing was on a different level imo. Quote
