Could well have been some session bassist if other hits of that era are any indication.

Great bassline! Also the follow up 'Can't get by without you', very similiar kinda thing.
Saw The Real Thing live in the 70's, backed by a great 4 piece band with a wonderful bassist.

I think during the 90's Chris Amoo was more bothered about his Crufts stardom lol
