[quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1479676370' post='3178403']...Kaye, Babbitt and Jamerson played on loads of tracks, but only Kaye is alive to talk about them.[/quote]

Bob Babbitt spoke a lot on this subject. It's a rats nest. Slutsky slanted his entire thesis against Carol Kaye to create controversy to sell his book.. and maligned her until a bunch of MT headed rumor parrots picked up the Slutsky Torch and tried to illuminate the bass world with their new-found cache of net guana... and then start threads to weave a web of lowdown delusion.

Due Diligence, EZ... Research what Babbitt experienced about the music biz...

If Mr Slutsky really wrote about the act of killing the moon in his treatise on Jameson and Kaye then I guess he may well have been delusional.

I must admit I've read through his works and not noticed this lunar obsession but maybe it's buried deep in the subtext somewhere. . .

Someone just posted a B&W film from the 60's of the Temptations doing My Girl in the Hitsville studios on my FB timeline

Obviously not the original session, but some great shots of the funk brothers including James.

We still have Carole Kaye and her recordings, why not try and be yourself instead?

Yes, of course, Pete, but one should go home with the one that brought them...
A pioneer of the bass world deserves better than the internet denigration by male bass parrots.
Whether the British Empire likes it or not, some little girl from California grew up to be a bass master.

A funny picture isn't a denial.

No, but it substantiates a persistent cultural rumour...
Speaking of which, let me present a recent British tourist, jolly and relaxing in the Great Canadian North...

Wow.... this has been erhhh interesting. Is it possible for all involved in mud slinging to shrug shoulders, think of all the really important things in life like family, friends, kids and stop bickering? Surely nobody needs the aggro, whatever the time of day.

If CK or JJ or BB for that matter did or did not play certain songs/sessions, what does it matter to the songs? They are a part of a very rich musical history and outside us nerdy bassists not many people would know any of the great bassists all 3 are, they will know the songs.

I'm Dutch by the way....
