No Longer Charting
This topic has been discussed before.......probably just before your time.
I've still got to go with
Rhythm Makers - Zone as one of the all-time killers
George Duke - Brazilian Love Affair (how many records have a proper bass solo?)
War - Galaxy (another old chestnut of mine)
Unique - What I Got Is What You Need (synth bass that was brilliant IMO)
There must be a load more that I just can't think about.
Otherwise, I always liked the really loose, fluid bass lines that just seem to roll on and on.

Gary's Gang "Showtime"

Even though this is an 80s track, the immortal bassline of Dennis Edwards' - Don't Look Any Further - deserves a mention here
Along with Kenny Burke's - Rising to the Top (another great one) this must surely be one of the most sampled bass lines ever!

Can anyone explain why it has the same melody as Slave's "Watching You"? I've been wondering for years.
Gold Record [Level 7]
The bass-line is replayed on the Odyssey track, but the backing is 'Watching You', with overdubs. I don't know why Slave members aren't credited, even though Jimmy Douglass (Slave's producer) also produced 'Inside Out' - surely he'd heard that backing somewhere before!Can anyone explain why it has the same melody as Slave's "Watching You"? I've been wondering for years.
'Watching You' is up there with the greats, though, as is 'Slide' (good call, Paul).

No Longer Charting
ComKing: I'm glad you mentioned Banbarra. I was listening to that last night and thought to myself that I should have put it down. But like i said, there's soooo many.
Oneness Of Ju Ju stole its bassline from another track, which I can't remember at this minute. Anyone with a better memory help me out?
Underground Hit [Level 5]
I ignored the bassline of "every Way but loose" was taken from an another track.
Quinny Banbarra is the ultimate Funk track for me, I've listened to it the whole week .
I\'m a Victim ( of th very Song I sing )
Gold Record [Level 7]
I can't think of anything Oneness Of Juju could have lifted the bass line from, though it isn't too dissimilar to Brick's 'Dazz' in a certain manner.
Two tracks - 'Can't Believe' and 'Is It All Over My Face' - always strike me as being built around 'Love Is The Message', in a between-the-lines way.

Yes, this has been discussed before; I seem to remember I picked 'I Need Your Loving' by (the supreme goddess! 8) )Teena Marie.
