Lovely Bass Line - Gladys Knight/Bob Babbit

[Mykesbass]

Loved this when she appeared on Later a couple of years back, but the original has a terrific Bob Babbit bass line:

Here's the bass-less, but still very tasty Jools Holland Later version:

Great stuff.
Going to see Gladys at the end of June, hoping she has a bassist who can recreate the wonderful feel of her
amazing catalogue of material.

Cracking stuff, thanks; added to my play-along Spotify playlist

This is a great song. Bob Babbitt usually gets passed over when bass lines are getting praised.

One of my favourite bass tones and lines is his playing on Midnight Train To Georgia.

Always liked Tears Of A Clown and War with BB on bass.

Bob Babbitt was a fantastic player. Often unnoticed next to Jamerson etc but in my opinion it doesn't get much better than the stuff he did with Marvin Gaye.
