James was a complete genius, Carol came after his death I think. His works will live forever and you know from the first note, it is his handywork. Class!
Thanks for this amazing track. Robert White's guitar and Uriel Jones' drumming really come thru in a way you can't easily hear on the original track. Superb musicianship all around.
Love Jamerson's line. Carol Kaye played on the Beach Boys' version of this. She was part of the West Coast "Wrecking Crew" that played a lot of Motown arrangements for different West Coast artists.
Stevie Wonder version bass player: James Jameson Beach Boys version bass player: Ron Brown (who I’m assuming was a friend of the group, rather than a session musician per se).
Precision's the way to go with the soul Funk stuff man I got a generic Precision but not Squires some CMI but they're really solid but yeah man you can't you know what to do with sounds like. . Yeah you get that old tube amps with a 15in speaker that's badass what you need. That 15-inch speakers do with the deepest best, most real sound. . Kept running into bases last couple years on playing classic rock and hard rock pick up one to use stacks for 10 bass cabs I don't like to sound out of four tens. I'd rather have two 15in speakers Supply we better deeper bass sound in 410 cabinets and the rest of the crap out there I'll take a couple 15s any day the Addison tubes to it that's the best man to get like an Ampeg classic 1960s Style
It would not be unusual for this to be multiple takes spliced together which would account for perceived anomalies in the bass line. But what it sounds like is vocal removal software screwing with frequencies in some sections. Regardless of WHO is playing bass, this is as good an example as any to be found of how OLD SCHOOL FOUR STRING ELECTRIC BASS SHOULD BE PLAYED. And not in the least, just how much can be gotten out of a four string by a master of the instrument. Five, six and more hippity hoppity stringed basses are for people who wanted to play lead guitar in the first place. Haters, don't bother, ALL OF YOU PUT TOGETHER WILL NEVER BE ONE TENTH OF A JAMERSON ON YOUR BEST DAY.
I agree with the one who shared. LOL I was listening to the Beach Boys version of this song and the bassline is like night and day. There is no dispute that Carol Kaye played on the Beach Boys version.
I love the bass line in this song. I know it was Jamerson playing... but, something bothers me. Start listening at 1:27 and you hear what clearly sounds like Jamerson: tone, attack, rhythm, style. Then, at 1:37 to at least 1:47, something odd happens. Listen to it (with good headphones!) and think about how different it is from other similar parts of the song, such as at 0:59.
That's because this is an homemade mix of mine. I took two different tracks - one instrumental and the other one being the original stevie song - they are mixed quite differently. So you can notice the transition at 1:44 when Stevie comes in.

The Jamerson/Kaye debate is hotly contested, I know I wanted to believe Carol after reading her books detailing her memories on some of these recordings, but here is the definitive answer: chnm.gmu.edu/courses/magic/kaye/ IT WAS Jamerson all the way!
I'm with you! Regardless of the claims Kaye wrote in her book, Emory Gordy said in an interview that he never even heard of Kaye and she never so much as set foot in the snake pit. Besides, she played with a pick. Jameson played with the "hook". If that's not Jamerson playing on Bernadette then I'll eat a big ol' shit burger.
russell this johnson that's James Stevie told Scott Edwards that who asked him about the controversy who did what my beliefs Carol was not in Detroit when this was cut her style was More Love by Smokey you can hear a pick plucking the bass not a finger she probably did some LA date's but James was on call for everything in Detroit and a bit in LA he did Bernadette as well I don't hear no picks on them tracks James wouldn't dare
I READ SOMEWHERE STEVEY WONDER DID HIS OWN DRUM WORK AND THEN PASSED IT ON TO THE FUNK BROTHERS DRUMMER AND TODAY HE STILL PLAYS MATTER OF FACT HE STOOD IN WITH BABBIT AND SOME OF THE NEWER BROTHERS
Yes but why the harmonica counterpoint is missing? And the sound is rubbish; It's all deadened as if there was an abuse of the trebles filter to reduce hiss.
Watch the video "Standing in the shadows of Motown" The funk brothers ARE the baddest band on the planet ...ever. Watch the video and see how many hits they were acredited with. The Rolling stones, Elvis, and the Beatles COMBINED are in these guys rearview mirror.
James Jamerson laid down the most iconic bass line ever!! He was a genius!!
number 1 bass player of all time as released by rolling stone 4 months ago
What i would have done to be in the recording studio or at a live session with JJ and the FB'S. ❤🎶
He certainly was...A MASTER..Awesome..full stop.
JJ could kill it with an upright bass too. Pure genius.
James was a complete genius, Carol came after his death I think. His works will live forever and you know from the first note, it is his handywork. Class!
Long live James Jamerson and Benny Benjamin both were masters of their trade
That bass line is pure ecstasy
These mother funky play like angels 😇🙏
This has got to be one of the greates bass lines ever.And he is playing with one finger.
Usually you think of something soulful with a song being sung, but these guys
have made instrumentals ‘Soulful’
amazing gift.
The older I get (I'm 67), the more I keep digging this classic - & I've loved it since its inception !!
Just read Standing in the Shadows of Motown, Jamerson DEFINITELY played on this track. It is mentioned multiple times throughout the book.
There's just an unspoken quality about this one fingered player in particular!❤🎶
Just to hear the first few notes of "I Was Made To Love Her" sends my spirit flying!
Thanks for this amazing track. Robert White's guitar and Uriel Jones' drumming really come thru in a way you can't easily hear on the original track. Superb musicianship all around.
I’m pretty sure the drums were done by Benny Benjamin, but I could be mistaken
@@drewrussell204 On that track it was Benny Benjamin
Love Jamerson's line. Carol Kaye played on the Beach Boys' version of this. She was part of the West Coast "Wrecking Crew" that played a lot of Motown arrangements for different West Coast artists.
she was great but compared to Jamerson fuggedaboutit
That's Ron Brown, get it right aspie
Ok
Stevie Wonder version bass player: James Jameson
Beach Boys version bass player: Ron Brown (who I’m assuming was a friend of the group, rather than a session musician per se).
Thank you! I love playing along to this song with my 1960's precision and 1964 ampeg b15. Rock on Jamestown!

That bassline. Mm. Love it!
Now I can hear that amazing guitar comping clearly at last, Michele. Grazie mille!
And James Jamerson played that entire track with one finger...!!!!

I love James Jamerson💙💜❤🥰
Masterful !!!!!
Ohhhh, this bass playing...man. If you could master this style, then you could do anything.
Thanks for sharing this Michele ! This really helped and motivated me with my bass learning sessions.
This is James Jamerson on this track. Both men were brilliant.
I agree with the one who shared. LOL I was listening to the Beach Boys version of this song and the bassline is like night and day. There is no dispute that Carol Kaye played on the Beach Boys version.
of course, she likes to take credit on this version. LOL
That's Ron Brown, get it right aspie
Released May 1967 on the Tamla(Motown)Records label as Tamla 54151
Carol Kaye played on the Beach boys version which was an album cut on Wild Honey
Great to hear this rhythm section isolated. Thanks for sharing!
one bass to rule them all..
I love Funk Brothers❤💜💙🥰
That's what makes it so incredible!

Bill Wilson sounds like some type of effects pedal was activated at that point.
That's because this is an homemade mix of mine. I took two different tracks - one instrumental and the other one being the original stevie song - they are mixed quite differently. So you can notice the transition at 1:44 when Stevie comes in.

Bill Wilson new instruments are introduced, nothing really weird went on
could also be two bass players, maybe Bob was on this session too
No one better !!!
They were Awesome
1:36 "All through thick and thin, our love just won't end, 'cause I love my baby, love my baby...heeeeeyyyy!"

Carol Kaye was the bassist for the Wrecking Crew from LA. Shes still slaying 50 yrs later.
😂😂This sound inspired me back in 2008👍🏾👍🏾
BEAUTIFUL

you can hear a pick plucking the bass not a finger she probably did some LA date's but
James was on call for everything in Detroit and a bit in LA he did Bernadette as well I don't hear no picks on them tracks James wouldn't dare
i think they may have been together after the move to LA, but..
I READ SOMEWHERE STEVEY WONDER DID HIS OWN DRUM WORK AND THEN PASSED IT ON TO THE FUNK BROTHERS DRUMMER AND TODAY HE STILL PLAYS MATTER OF FACT HE STOOD IN WITH BABBIT AND SOME OF THE NEWER BROTHERS
AWESOME..........TUNE.
Carol Kaye(like James Jamerson)was a bassist
YOUR LISTENING TO D J TIMMY T AND WBLS 107.5 in Stereo in NYC A WBLS tribute to the Funk Brothers
Thank you!!!!
OMG!!! Where do find this stuff!! WONDERFUL!!
Tha HOOK!
Does anyone know how I can get this as my ringtone? Because this would wow people.
Is this definitely Jamerson, I thought Bob Babbitt played on Stevie's stuff around this time. Great video! Great mix!
keep on keepin' on .. this is great :)
you are my hero
Class.......
nice bass line
Yes but why the harmonica counterpoint is missing? And the sound is rubbish; It's all deadened as if there was an abuse of the trebles filter to reduce hiss.
TheRunner75
I think that was Stevie on the harmonica. This is the background track minus Stevie's harmonica.
bob babbitt didn,t touch stevie until 1970(sign,sealed delivered)!
Carol Kaye played on beach boys tracks
@ TheMastFravekator; thanks for posting this--you've sure got some treasures on your playlist! Where/how did you find all of this material? Good job.
You forgot to mention Dennis Coffey
no way carol kaye played this. side note.. it's interesting how u can't hear a lot of hi hat on many motown songs.
she played on the awful beach boy version
Watch the video "Standing in the shadows of Motown" The funk brothers ARE the baddest band on the planet ...ever. Watch the video and see how many hits they were acredited with. The Rolling stones, Elvis, and the Beatles COMBINED are in these guys rearview mirror.
I LOVE MOTOWN! simon4186
I meant Jamerson, forgive the auto spell
Forget about it
Ther is only ONE Jamerson...BASS
Let's not talk about that person please....Enjoy the track!! We know who it is....
EDDIE WILLIS
The intro is a bummer
Why don't you make your own version of the video without the intro? Everybody would be thankful for your service
She is a great bass player herself, but she has issues. She is a pathological liar. It's a shame because she accomplished plenty to be proud of.
barry gordy aint shit!
king ralph and your nuts to!
Wtf is your damn problem?!
So, sad, to bad, you don't have any rhythm, sounds like a personal problem!😂😂 Move Sucker!?😁
Barry Gordy is the shite!💖💯👍🏾
