Nuages

Not only is this a timeless song, but that’s James Jamerson on bass. Watch the way he plays with his index finger alone (he called it the “hook”)- this is totally crazy, but it gives him a really sharp attack. If you’re interested in the history of the backup motown musicians (who, by the way, played on every single song from 60’s Detroit that you’ve ever loved), be sure to check out “Standing in the Shadows of Motown,” a really great documentary/concert film about the history of some of the best pop music of all time.
