- Bob Babbitt was a staff bassist at Motown along with James Jamerson. His discography is nothing short of amazing. As you will see in the following video interview, he is also a very kind and humble man. It was really cool to sit and watch this interview take place....every time he spoke of records he played on, that I have heard since I was a kid, my jaw hit the ground.
Not only was this something awesome to take in, but I was more impressed with his humbleness, kindness, and willingness to share his knowledge to encourage our readers in all they aspire to do with their careers. Please take the time to watch this interview, as there are few men alive today that have played on such hit Motown records. This will be a stunning interview if you have passion for bass the way we do here at Bass Frontiers.

I got to work with Bob for 5 years on tour with Brenda Lee. Bob was
responsible for getting me in the band.,I play piano and BG vocals...great player...he was also a sushi buddy.
I love you
You are the reason why I love the sound of bass
Thank you so much for all your works
I feel like I’m on drugs when I listen to you play the bass
Your baselines are out of this world
Thank you for “right on “
"Signed, Sealed, Delivered" bassline was maybe Mr. Babbitt's greatest...i love it
Bob, a lot of us grew up listening to you, and we didn't know you. Ah, but we did...before we even knew your name. Even after finding out who the great James Jamerson was, and STILL didn't know you... you surprised us all with your skill and incredible performances. "Tears Of A Clown," is absolutely one of the best bass performances on a pop music track -ever. Your recorded legacy is incredible.
R.I.P. my twin brother!
Such a humble guy for how good he was lol incredible
I had the honor of having Bob play on my album produced by Shadow Morton...he was amazing then as he always had been thru out his career...one of the high lites in my life in music...
What axe you play bro?
had the opp to speak with him on the phone once, very nice individual, great bass player, one of the all timers
When I first heard midnight train to Georgia, I fell in love with his playing.
Bob, you'll live on forever thru your music, and you can be proud to know that your bass playing will inspire bassists for generations to come...RIP.
One my beloved Funk Brothers passed away yesterday...RIP Bob Babbitt Played bass on a lot 70's Motown recordings.
What a sweet humble man. And a mother f'er bass player. One of the all time greats.
"Mercy Mercy Me, and uh Inner city Blues yea well I happened to do those couple tunes and Im kinda proud of that..." -
RIP - Bpb Babbitt you're a Funk Brother for etenity
A Legend lost today... what a life, what a man. Farewell Mr. Babbitt. You will be missed my friend.
so tragically underrated its a shame. he had to endure being in the shadow of Jamerson but still stayed in Detroit. The Scorpio bass solo changed bass playing forever. nobody thought a bass solo could be so musical and rhythmic at the same time
That Scorpio bass line is 🔥🔥🔥 R.I.P. Bob Babbit!
R.I.P. Mr. Babbit! I learned my craft as a drummer locking into the sonic foundations guys like you contributed to Music.
Respect!
Very cool to have had the musical experience Mr piano man!! I have to say I really do have such respect for Bob and what he has achieved on the bass and how willing he was to share his years with all of us. All the very best to you Bob...which I could have told you that in person.
Rest In Peace ☮️ amazing man/musician 💔😞💔
Amazing content!
I'm so sorry to hear of Mr. Babbitt's passing.
RIP, sir.
What a lovely man.
When they make the movie of Bob's life story, they really have to get Robert De Niro to play the lead role.
Thanks for the music. Bob. X
We miss u Bob
Celebrate his music. R.I.P.
RIP Bob... Damn...
Midnight Train To Georgia is greatest bass track ever
Been a Bad Year We Lost Duck Dunn and Bob Babbitt.....What a loss
Check his mantel, "It is never too late to live happily ever after." Wow.
R.I.P. FUNK BROTHER!
R.I.P Mr Babbit..............
