All music, Kool and the Gang, best base line since Motown

This post is about my personal base line favorites. This example from Kool and the Gang was a classic. I hope they fired the choreographer. I never under stood the halo thingy across Kool's forehead.


Rare Earth was the only white group that ever had a contract with Motown. This performance in my opinion, was the best drumming vocal I ever witnessed. I saw them live at an Octoberfest of all things.


 Robert Cray Band, "Smokin Gun" One of the best base to lead guitar mixes, effortless. I really thought Robert Cray  was going to be in the running for BB King status. I guess there's still time.
"Simple Man" by Lynard Skynard. This song has always  given me a kind of peace, just like the video I chose to couple with the song, Enjoy! I've got room for one more, some of you may not have even knew this last one existed. Let me go get it, be right back!

 Van Morrison, to me this group musically was one of the absolute best. They were fluid, tight and talented. Let's face it, their were far  better front men than Van, but his uniqueness,  song writing talent and his band, left a very special mark on contemporary music. I've got more, but that will be in another post. Can you say Joe Cocker? That will be in the All Soul post.
