James Jamerson was considered the "God" of bass. He was like the Mohammed Ali of bass,... James Jamerson was indeed the Michael Jordan of bass, or the Arthur Ashe of bass. ANyway he played for some of the best and famous singers and musicians on the planet, like Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Miles Davis, the Supremes, the Temptations, etc etc...not to mention the number of Bassists who were influenced by him, one of them is Paul McCartney, as well as Jermaine Jackson(MJ's brother) etc,...I'm just discovering this guy,...wow, impressive!!
