The reason I ask is, if you don't like Motown or Stax you probably don't like any R&B, funk or soul music, right? [/quote] No I don't like any R&B or soul music really. Don't like blues much either. Some funk is OK but it's not something I'd really choose to listen to. The only thing I tend to listen to these days is acoustic English folk music & stuff like bluegrass & Americana. Also some solo singer/songwriters but not electric bands. I also listen to some jazz occasionally. Edited December 28, 2015 by RhysP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roland Rock Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 [quote name='drTStingray' timestamp='1451326575' post='2939593'] This is one of the only tracks (nice though it is)? Cogbill and Jemmott are quoted as the main bassists with Aretha from the 60s/early 70s - though there may be some debate over this... [/quote] Tommy Cogbill* played on a lot of the early Atlantic stuff (including Respect and Chain of Fools). Jerry Jemmott played on Think and played the Filmore West gigs. Rainey played on the classic 'Young, Gifted and Black' album. That's the extent of my knowledge on the matter ☺ *that's Timmy Cogbill to you, Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tobiewharton Posted January 26, 2016 Author Share Posted January 26, 2016 Great response! I realise I never actually submitted my thoughts...I'll take them all (Motown, Stax, Muscle Shoals and Atlantic) gladly, but if it came to the crunch I think I'd miss Stax the most.

Sausages Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I like both, but would put STAX just in front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjs1909 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) I prefer Stax not that there wasn't great music that came out of Motown. Duck Dunn's playing grooves like a groovy thing from the planet Groovy but I feel that Jamerson overplays a lot of the time.

[/quote] I voted Stax, but Jamerson overplaying? Nooooo. He was a maestro; the inventor of "proper grown up" bass playing. His note choices were complicated or simple but always the peak of melodic and rhythmical playing and always appropriate to the song. I've been a Duck Dunn fan since I first heard Green Onions (I know that was Lewis Steinberg) but Jamerson was the first genius of the electric bass. I remember hearing For Once In My Life for the first time and wondering how that could be played on a bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
