An excerpt from the recently released DVD of some of Marvin's greatest live performances on TV and film, "Real Thing: In Performance 1964-1981," This live performance comes from the long out-of-circulation 1973 film, "Save The Children" with James Jamerson on bass.

The Jackson 5 performed Darling Dear on their third album (The Third Album). James Jamerson played bass on this selection with a style and fluency seldom heard in common hours. The bassline is so soulful and beautiful that many musicians speak of having "sung" the bassline instead of the equally great lead vocal line delivered by the gifted and prodigious Michael Jackson. The bassline would qualify as a "wonder of the world" since it is such a bold departure from anything heard at that time, or since. James Jamerson is arguably the greatest bass player to ever live. He played on more number 1 hit records than any other bassist, or musician in the history of popular music. He died a bitter and brokenhearted man since he was neither adequately compensated or recognized for his immeasurable contributions to the spirit and practice of bass playing.

Just got a new P-Bass, so here's a quick take of James Jamerson's classic line on "Bernadette" by the Four Tops. This is a really fun tune - I'm still sort of finding my voice on the P-Bass (never owned one before) but I'm digging it. It's a Mexican standard P with D'Adarrio flats into an Avalon U5 (no EQ) to a 4-channel mixer and directly into the line in of my MacBook. You can find this and many other transcriptions on my website: www.arcellussykes.com. Enjoy!

The music industry has gotten away from glorifying the "slow jam". Today, corny ballads pose as slow jams, but they leave out one important component: the jam! In essence a slow jam is a down-tempo love song that still maintains a prominent (even muscular) bassline and solid drum beat, with some degree of attitude attached. Cheesy ballads might pose as slow jams but they are only love songs. It takes a solid groove to make a slow jam. James Jamerson was a master of the slow jam groove.
