James Jamerson

I was just listening to You Keep Me Hanging On by The Supremes and I thought. "Ay Oop, that's some cracking bass playing there." Of course it is none other than James Jamerson, who played on just about every Motown record that was any good - mind you Bob Babbit did a good job of deputising (for example on Signed, Sealed, Delivered). Whatever. Inevitably, some obsessive has compiled a list of Number One Hits that Jamerson played on . You can't argue with it really. I reckon I'll be making up a playlist of these songs!
