Somebody else's guy Jocelyn Brown

[peety]

Wonder if anyone here can help, we have had a request for this song for a wedding, but we are having no luck getting the music for it, tried all the usual places but can't find it anywhere wondered if any of the good people here may have either the sheet music or even chords for it would be very grateful as it would save us a bit of time.

Oh and if anyone has a bass score or tab that would be even better ha

cheers steve

I think there is notation on www.thebassment.net.

I've played this quite a few times. I always slap it, but I can never tell how it's played. On record it sounds amazing.

Anybody know who played on it?

[steve-soar]

I use to have a lot of 4th and B'way records to hand, my best friend was a DJ in the 80's and has all this stuff at home, rang him but no credits on the singal or album,
Just checking the producers out for any links to musos, could be a toughie to find the bassist, good call, classic tune.

[phagor]

I usually play this with fingers, but pop the high notes. Great tune, great bass player, would love to know who he/she is.

[YouMa]

Is it not the guy who played with the thompson twins,who used to be hidden behind a screen when they played,or was that don estes? it could be him.

Andrew Bodnar?

can someone help me?

on Stuart's transcripton, between the standard notation and tab, there's a sequence of [i]t[/i] s and [i]p [/i] s which seem to be in line with the notes.

my understanding of theory is zilch so i don't know what it means?

I thought it might be instruction for slap, which i ain't too great on either :blush:

You are correct, its for getting down, being a Funky mother f##@er,shaking your booty,giving it large,
Or a slap attack warning.
T = Thumbed
P = Pull Or Popped. [Pull meaning, to pull string - not the opposite sex, but if done tastefully can lead to this]

Why did nobody tell me this before!!!!!

[louisjohnson]

il me semble que c'est Bobby watson, il n'est pas crédité dans l'album, d'ailleurs aucun musicien, mais jme rappelle avoir cherché ya quelques années et je suis tombé sur une partition et c etait crédité Bobby watson.

C un des plus grands bassiste Rnb de studio dans les 70 80, il bossait dans le groupe rufus et chaka khan, avec stevie wonder, michael jackson pour" rock with you", et  Prince ,notamment.

Il etait très demandé et il l'est toujours. 

A confirmer quand même,  mais c son style, jpense que c'est lui.
