Greatest Day, Beverley Knight

[Pete Academy]

I'm playing a wedding on Saturday with a funk band. We don't play very often these days, but we need to learn a few new songs especially for the occasion. One of them is Cosmic Girl by Jamiroquai, which I've played before. The other is this one, which I haven't. I can't remember the original song this was taken from, but this has got to be one of the best bass parts ever, and the song is based around it.

Sounds a bit like this: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cos9ExMIELU"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cos9ExMIELU[/url]

Which has been sampled and re-recorded to death.

Thanks! Yep, that's the one! What a great line!

Just played along to this, good God, this kind of feel is golden.
My bottom lip went underneath my top teeth, while I was jamming to it, then I remembered my funk tool kit, "In case of Emergency, Don't give a funk", all facial expressions returned to normal.

It's a tricky little beast.

Who's the bassplayer for Whatnauts?

I don't know who played on that record. Apparently it was Curtis McTeer on their early '70s releases. Weird that we don't know such an influential bassist isn't it?

Bizarre, that b-line is ingrained into my subconscious and yet I had no idea where it originated from - fantastic line!
