A Short History of James Jamerson 🐐📕

The Funk Brothers
Bass LessonRareyoutube

James Jamerson. The backbone of Motown. Born in Charleston, raised in Detroit, and shaped by jazz greats like Ray Brown and Paul Chambers. From underage club gigs (cops let him slide because he was that good) to the legendary Funk Brothers at Motown, his basslines changed music forever. ❤️ #jamesjamerson #motown #basshistory #bassguitar #scottsbasslessons

About The Funk Brothers
