That’s James Jamison Jr on Bass. His dad was one of the finest bass players ever at Motown Records. Jamison Sr and My Uncle Wilton played bass on lots of early Jackson5 Hits. Just a little bit of trivia from the family inside secrets. Lol
when I first heard this song back in the day I thought it was brothers Johnson cos of the vocal work and bass line lol I found out who it was when I brought 3 promo copies in the early 90s tight serious jam enjoy :-)
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You for posting this! I had this vinyl album when it was first released in 1978. This was a song I put on cassette before I went off to college and it was one of my absolute favorites. I never could locate the album and it is unfortunate this album was never re-issued on CD. This is an overlooked classic that deserves attention.
Give thanx to the Jimi Hendrix of bass playing for this lively funk classic the late great Louis Johnson is playing mr. Larry Graham without him none of this was possible
I'm a (Jazz) Crusaders fan since The Thing. I have this album and never played this song. Love it. Is it Funky Jazz or Jazzy Funk? Thank you for posting.
Thanks to you for taking the time to write, I guess you can call it Jazz-Funk, there was a lot of crossover between genres in the 70s/80s and fusion is one of them. Many Jazz players started to open their way of writing to different kind of music (ie Miles Davis: rock Herbie Hancock: Funk and dance music) and produced some cool sounds! These guys (the Crusaders) were top session men, Larry Carlton was the Steely Dan go to guitar player on many records. Thanks again!
It's not about the time it took, its more about whether or not the poster is breaking any rules (I've had a number of tracks knocked back or removed...to the point where I don't bother anymore).
