When it comes to James Jamerson aficionados and experts, few rival Ron Brown. A top Los Angeles session bassist from the mid '60s to the late '70s, Brown befriended the Motown genius and became an authority on his style, often transcribing Jamerson’s basslines.
Not that Brown didn't have it going on himself. His 1958 Fender Precision can be heard on such hit singles as the Jackson 5's Never Can Say Goodbye, Marvin Gaye's I Want You, Barry White's I'm Gonna Love You Just a Little More Baby, and the Beach Boys' Here Comes the Night.
