Naz Bernard | Jackson 5 - Darling Dear (Bass + Vocals) @nazbernard | Uploaded 4 years ago | Updated 3 hours ago
Often called 'the world's most beautiful bassline', this Smokey Robinson & the Miracles cover, as featured on the Jackson 5's 1970 'Third Album', was one of the few Jackson 5 songs to be recorded at Motown's Hitsville studios in Detroit. This gives the Funk Brothers a chance to shine, including bassist James Jamerson, cited as one of the most innovative bass players of all time. I would also care to argue that this is one of his most beautiful and complex basslines, singlehandedly forming an aural landscape which an 11-year old Michael Jackson uses to swoop above. I hope you enjoy the purity of this match as much as I do - no copyright infringement intended and enjoy!
