Double post!

One my first memories of loving awesome bass lines had a lot to do with Disney cartoons. I had a VHS tape that was basically a mix tape of famous pop songs integrated into various snippets of Disney cartoon shorts when I was like 7 I think. As a big fan of old Disney shorts, I played that tape to oblivion. One of the songs that I absolutely love from that tape was the 1967 hit duet from Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell called Ain't No Mountain High Enough. And of course much later I found out that the bassist behind that song was none other than, as one announcer put it, the greatest bass player in the world, James Jameson. It's hard not to bust a move listening to this song. Simply brilliant.
