Was going through the worst of the worst thread and saw Jackie Wilson's Because of You being mentioned. I really like the record so I gave it another listen. I think I never realized how amazing the bass line is:

JACKIE WILSON - BECAUSE OF YOU -

It got me thinking. Bass lines are one of the things in a record that really gets to my spine. Lyrics can be bad, production too weak, but if the bass line is good, then I'm up for it. Of course, we've got James Jamerson to thank, but others picked up his style really well:

CURTIS MAYFIELD - MISS BLACK AMERICA - CURTOM LP -

Specially towards the end. The guy just goes bonkers all over the bass. Amazing!

Or this one:

YOU'RE JUST THE KIND OF GUY - KIM WESTON - MGM -

What are your favorites, then?

Banging thumping drums in Mr. Montgomarys "Dearly Beloved"

But my Fav Bass line is not a line really its the whole fooking track!! Malibus "Gee Baby"

lots of good 'uns mentioned and perhaps not the best of the lot but the Silhouettes " Not Me Baby" does it for me - everytime.

chic, I want your love, imoff

One that I was listening a couple of hours ago:

Tomorrow's Men - Who's That Lady (Congress)

Lou Pride - I'm Com'un Home In The Morn'un - Suemi
