Gladys Knight and the Pips
From: jaco_p@earthlink.net


While snooping around at some basstab sites, I found a listing for Gladys 
Knight and the Pips. After opening the link, I found this tune and checked 
it out. The tabs appeared to be for another version - CCR, or perhaps Marvin 
Gaye?? At any rate, this is the way I've transcribed the bass line for the 
'Gladys Knight and the Pips' version... yet, another fine example of the 
late James Jamerson's wicked bass lines. 
Hope you enjoy, Michael s.
