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.
