chris_b Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 (edited) Willie Weeks has be a favourite player of mine since, like so many people, I first heard him soloing with Donny Hathaway. I've just listened back to this track he did for the Pointer Sisters, in the 70's. I was blown away (again) by the bounce and liveliness of the bass lines. It just sounds like happy bass playing to me. Enjoy. Edited January 1, 2020 by chris_b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mykesbass Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Had a look at that album after you posted the JJ track. The album also has Louis Johnson on. Not a bad bass line up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 You can't beat a nice bit of Willie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cetera Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Great bassist! Here he is, playing the basslines of the fantastic Tiran Porter, soon after Tiran left the Doobies.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
