Name that bassline!

[BottomEndian]

I walked into Borders yesterday, and I heard the last 30 seconds or so of a track with this bassline (quick transcription on Noteflight -- the key might not be right, but I'm pretty sure the line's right):
[attachment=26337:Bassline.jpg]

It was a sort of Motown-y medium-tempo ballad number, with quite a Jamerson feel to the line, and it's really familiar, but I can't put my finger on what song it was. To confuse matters further, I think it was a much more recent cover version. The production felt far too clean to be an original Motown recording, and there was a more modern, warbly Beyonce feel to the vocal.

Anybody know the tune?

Reading skills not great but when I tried to play it, it reminded me of this track LOL

Yeah, it fits, but it's not the song. I'd have recognised that one straight off!

I guess that's the beauty of such a simple bassline. It'll fit a lot of stuff.

Somewhere around 75 BPM (beat = dotted crotchet!)

Don't think the Last FM link worked properly.

The video link does anyway.

AHA! Got it! Thanks.Except it was the [url="http://www.last.fm/music/Pete+Wingfield/_/18+With+A+Bullet"]Pete Wingfield original[/url].

I think I must have imagined the modern production and the warbly vocal, unless there's a backing singer who kicks in at the end. Could have been heatstroke...

Another satisfied customer

Nice bassline too. Looking around, I think it's played by DeLisle Harper. Anyone know anything else he crops up on?
