Happy Jack Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 I've spent 40 years singing along to this song, so busy with the singing that I never really thought to listen to the bass line being played. http://youtu.be/7kf3Hyxl67g Strewth! Who is that guy and what's he on? From the busy-ness of it, and a vague similarity to [i]Burning Love[/i] (Elvis version) I guessed that it might be Emory Gordy Jr. According to a very limited Wikipaedia entry about the album, the bass player in question is Daryl Runswick. According to Google, he's an English musician/composer whose own Wiki entry doesn't mention this song or the album it's from. Anyone know anything about it? Quote
Geek99 Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 Minor issue, is that guy pictured not playing a weedy six string thing and there no bass player in sight ? Quote
Happy Jack Posted June 26, 2017 Author Posted June 26, 2017 The band was the two brothers plus the drummer. Everyone else was hired in. Note that you can't see the orchestra either ... Quote
EssentialTension Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 (edited) No actual brothers - Scott Engel, John Maus, Gary Leeds.. Lead vocalist Scott Walker, n[size=4]é[/size] Engel, was a bassist by profession but by all accounts the bassist on 'No Regrets' is Darryl Runswick. Scott Walker .... Daryl Runswick ....

Blimey, I remember this, a keyboard player and friend of mine (Pete Kelly) was involved with this project.
