Pino thinking, “I don’t need no stinking mutes.”

 

He is the king of bass cool. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the heads up. I'd never heard of Billy Valentine, now I can't stop listening to him.

Like a boss.

I just had to play the GSH original after that.

Looks like a shell pink Precision in the background as well.

Great version. As well as the original, there is a beautifully heart-wrenching version by Esther Phillips.

I wonder how old those flats are.....

I think it's probably his Fiesta Red one, it's just the colours are very muted, but you never know.

Yes Esther Phillips nails it and has been one of my favourite GSH covers since iheardit on it's release.. I first heard GSH in 1972 and bought every album from then on on it's release and although many artists have recorded his songs few are really successful due I think to the often simplicity of his originals. I can't say I'm a fan of the Billy Valentine cover.
