One of my favorite bass lines it's Secular, Stand By Me, Ben E. King. But I have the lyrics to this song, song one has turned this into a Christian song.
-
I don't know if this really counts as a bassline. Probably really just a song in itself, But victor wooten's amazing grace is my favorite
-
The first time I heard this version of Amazing Grace I was FLOORED. I never knew about Victor or lead bass.
-
There's a song by Luther Vandross ( I can't remember the name of it) that was recently re-done by him, this time featuring Beyonce Knowles of Destiny's Child. In the very beginning of the song, you hear a bass line...so pretty.
-
Fred Hammond Live in Chicago "My God is Good" MAURICE on bass. OH GOODNESS!!!
-
although i don't listen to r & b music anymore, i always loved the bassline to boogie oogie oogie by a taste of honey. i also like the bassline to show up (live) by john p kee.

8) that is a nice bass run every now and then I steal it and us it during a rehearsal or something

You know what? I'ma go one better than my last. It's a song by Chaka Khan back in the day that my father used to play for me when I was little. "Tell Me Something Good". That one!
-
Luvphillyman,
I get into "Tell Me Something Good" too. It's one of the few secular songs that I can play and sing simultaneously.
Still, my favorite secular basslines are "Let's Work" by Prince (who is a VERY accomplished bassist) and "Strawberry Letter 23" where Louis Johnson just lights it up. I have the studio version, a live version (totally off the hook) and a live version with Larry Graham playing in with the Brothers Johnson.
My favorite gospel lines (so far) are "I Want My Destiny" and "Let Me Praise You Now", both off Fred Hammond's "Purpose By Design" cd and Terrance Palmer playing with Isreal & The New Breed on "Who Is Like The Lord"
Peace,
James

I can't remember the artist but the name of the song id called "slide" awesome bassline if anyone can help please let me know who it is, peace!

I like We Supply. What about Silly Putty by Stanley Clarke?

OOPS! Did I just date myself? LOL
After all...I am one of original Ol' Skool musicians from that genre. My favorites have been the work of Verdine White of EWF, Larry Graham's work with both Sly and the Family Stone and his own Graham Central Station, and so on.

Bass Lines I dig now... very simplistic... "You are the Living Word" - Fred Hammond

Well I have to say hands down that one of the many best slow bass lines goes to Tye Tribbetts song "Superstar". There has to be someone who agrees with me on that one. I also can't leave out the one and only Jaco Pastorius.

Simeon Baker-Glad about it (Joe Pace-Glad about it)
I change my vote! One of the vocalist ministered this song Two Sundays ago, with an Accompaniment Track... Goodness...
Immediately everybody in the church looked at me... Okay maybe not everybody, but enough people gave me that look, like you gotta learn this one. After service I walked straight to the sound booth and asked If i could escort the CD back to its owner so that I might ask if I could borrow it.
So i will definately be shedding to this one...
Mr. Baker is something else.
-
There's a song by Luther Vandross ( I can't remember the name of it) that was recently re-done by him, this time featuring Beyonce Knowles of Destiny's Child. In the very beginning of the song, you hear a bass line...so pretty.
The Closer I Get To You, originally done by Donny Hathaway and Roberta Flack, I think. It is very pretty. I wonder if Marcus Miller played on the Luther track.

Slide was originally done by Slave back in 1977 the Album was called Street Jams - Back to the Old
Cameo & Lakeside both did a cover of the song, but the original was the bomb, at the time I was playing with New Birth & was on a tour along with Slave.
Sly & The Family Stone - If You Want Me to Stay

You played for New Birth? Cool. That lead singer still got that range. "It's Been A Long Time" is my jam. Is that you playing on the track?
Also, some people got "Slide" mixed up with a song called "Glide" by a group called Pleasure. "Glide" is my bass testing song.
-
.....at the time I was playing with New Birth & was on a tour along with Slave.
Sly & The Family Stone - If You Want Me to Stay
One of my FAVORITE old school albums that I have not found on CD is the New Birth album with the person stepping out of the Black Egg. Were you on that one and do you know if it ever got recorded to CD?
-

Also:
A remark you made - Jaco Pastorius (Joe Zawinul)
I want you back - Jermaine Jackson (Jackson 5)
Good times - Bernard Edwards (Chic)
Suninga - Richard Bona
Muntula Moto - Richard Bona

Graceland - Bakithi Kumalo (Paul Simon)
Diamonds in the soles of her shoes - Bakithi Kumalo (Paul Simon)
Crazy Love part 2 - Bakithi Kumalo (Paul Simon)
The bassists that I don't know are because I wasn't alive back then and haven't been able to find their names. I'm 17.
-
