Thank you for connecting me with Ken, Jeff! I would encourage you to check out some of my videos on OTHER unsung bassists including Raymond Earl (Evelyn 'Champagne' King), Dennis Belfield, Johnny Flippin (Fatback), Ronnie Baker (PIR), Cleveland Eaton (Ramsey Lewis), Kendall Stubbs (Tom Tom Club), Michael Wiley (Dazz Band), Raymond Jackson (aka "Rayjac", Mtume), Wilton Felder, Darek Jackson (Kenny Loggins), Robin Duhe (Maze), William Henry Allen (Roy Ayers), Allen McGrier (Teena Marie), Robert Wilson (GAP Band), Paul Denman (Sade), Leon Sylvers, and "Lucky" Scott (Curtis Mayfield) to name a few.
My pleasure, Paul! I'm stoked that worked out. I have enjoyed watching your videos for some time... you are one of my favorite bass RUclipsrs. Looking at your list - I wonder if there's any bass material that you've left for me to cover on my new channel??? I'll have to find something...LOL! :) Looking forward to seeing your Kenny Wild/I Like It video. Cheers to your continued success, Jeff from TBL
I love Paul's channel, and I love yours too. I hope there's no tension-we're all here for the love of bass. However, I believe that the effort to properly credit those who actually played on a track is always a worthy cause. I've done it twice for songs where Freddie Washington was miscredited-quite ironic, isn’t it? Often, people who create RUclips content or covers are superficial about credits, and in a world where Spotify has buried the names of musicians, it's crucial to do it the right way. So, for me, it's always important to uncover errors in credits. I believe it is absolutely the duty of anyone who does covers on RUclips, if they truly love this instrument, to thoroughly research the credits of a track. If they don’t know the musicians, they should admit it and encourage discussion to correctly identify the true musician who played on the track.Thank you for your work and your passion; your channel will surely continue to grow.
Thank you for your kind words. Paul from PDBass and Kevin at No Treble did the right thing and I wish them the best. I hope Paul uses his platform to lift up Ken Wild's name. I agree 100% - credits are important and can be the legacy of a musician's career. I'm curious, what songs/videos had mis-credited Freddie Washington? What an incredible player he is! He has laser like accuracy.
@@brian-c-pearl That's an interesting take to see this event as someone either winning or losing. I view it as searching for and sharing the truth. Much Love!
That might have already happened... on the original video linked in the description, an account named El DeBarge wrote - "Greetings Jeffrey EL DeBarge here. Recently a friend of mine, named Shana sent me a link to your RUclips channel, specifically with regard to your take on who played bass on the song I like it, and you are correct it was definitely ken wild. My brother Randy demoed the complete the song I like it. Randy was going to play the bass on the song himself, but was very much under the weather that day and we had a deadline to make. So we called in one of our favorite bass players, the one and only, Maestro Ready Freddy Washington, but he couldn't make the session either. So he sent ken in his place. The one and only Ken Wild, another great bass player. What we loved most about Ken on this particular song I like it, is how he played the bass line exactly like Randy demoed it, while at the same time giving us his own unique style and touch. Ken wild really put his heart into it and helped to make this song the success it is today. Thanks Jeffrey for your channel and info, and for caring enough to want us all to have the truth Respectfully £] ])eßarge"
