  • No copyright infringement intended. One of Stevie's best...with help from Motown's Funk Brothers and James Jamerson's amazing bass. You'll hear lots of instrumental breakdown from the original backing track that stretches this to a length it deserves.

    Just in case you didn't know, the owner of this channel, mosogotam, whose real name is John Perrone, sadly passed away April 5, 2020 from COVID-19. He was an absolute genius for this and all the other wonderful tracks he created. May he rest in peace.

    Another one of Jamerson's iconic, hard to duplicate basslines. What a "feel" this brother had for rhythm....amazing to listen to.
    All the more mesmerizing if he did this with one finger.
    I honesty believe he did use one finger because of the "laid back" "slow hand" sound his style his produces. Incredible! Thanks for your incredible basslines Mr. Jamerson!

      You are ABSOLUTELY correct.
