The Funk Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I've just been listening to this song on loop for the last half hour. I bloody love it. The main root-root-octave-octave bass motif is over-used but all the playing really grooves and has a fun rough and ready quality to it. Any idea who the bass player is or what else they've done?

The Funk Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 Thanks! Just did a little search about him. Apparently he was Carole King's husband at the time. Bass player married to very cool singer-songwriter - makes me think of Larry Klein-Joni Mitchell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Burrito Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Great song! I like the root-fifth thing on this tune. And it's great to see Wikipedia get something right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Ray Brown and Ella Fitzgerald? Del Palmer and Kate Bush? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart Zender and Melanie Blatt were married too, weren't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Root-fifth, not root-octave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
