The Bass Line That Made Grace Jones Cry

#bass #history #analysis #pop #dub #transcription #paulthompson
Digging into Grace Jones' signature hit song from 1981's NIGHTCLUBBING album (Island Records), "Pull Up to the Bumper", it's ICONIC bass line, and how she gave it a second life after hearing it as an instrumental. I'll dig into the amazing bass line as played by the late, great Robbie Shakespeare (of Sly & Robbie) and talk about how important drummer Sly Dunbar and Robbie were to the Compass Point All-Stars during this time. An iconic groove that somehow combines funk, disco, new wave, reggae, and dance all at once!
