      In it's 3 notes simplicity, one of the most iconic and easily recognizable bass lines of all times. There's no certainty on who played this, and even Bob Babbitt, who's often credited with it, is not sure.
      It is very unlikely that it was Jamerson, tho: either Bob or Eddie Watkins, who also was on duty as a bass player for Motown in those same years.

      Well there Kc Lee, that answer's simple.
      People with class, people who enjoy real music... the kinda music that doesn't involve screaming, yelling, swearing... know what I mean? Some of these purported songs today, after you remove all the a, b, c, d, f, gd-words, etc, there's not much left. Lotsa complaining, blaming, shaming, but no 'thanging'!
      Yeah, that's the kinda folks who listen to this & other great music from the 60's-70's. What a time for the greatest beats, rhythms, vocals, harmonies, instrumentals, etc. Whether it was R&B, R&R, Soul, Fusion, etc, it was a very special time for music, the entertainers didn't need to swear, take off their clothes, rub their crotches, have sex on stage to get the music venues full. Just beautiful music & classy entertainment.
      So if you don't know who still listens to this music, maybe you ought to reconsider who you're "hanging with" (or as some say, "hangin' wit...". "Jes say'un..."

      I heard a woman who is a HUGE entertainer (I don't think I can really call her a singer) comment about why she was a "singer" and she said she didn't really enjoy singing but she did it because that was the only way she knew to make a lot of money. Compare that to these singers from back in the day who would finish performing in public and then would gather at someone's house and sing sometimes all night long, just because they loved singing so much. No wonder they were so good. They did something the crop of singer wannabes today do not do...they PRACTICED!

      The guy playing the guitar was a 14 year old white kid from Plymouth Michigan. Paul Warren is his name. He went on to play for Rod Stewart, Tina Turner, and many other big name stars. Incredible guitarist, song writer, and arranger.
      Hard to believe, he rode the bus across town and was paid something like $25 for the session work on that tune. Lol
      (This is an edit... not sure if he player all of the guitar rhythm section, but he played the solo. There is a long version, something like 8 minutes, that has Paul all over it)

    No lead singer. They all are, working for the team. The epitome of unity. Something to be revered. Class. Wish todays music was a portion of this.
