ON IT GM--
Motown has ALWAYS had some of the BEST bass lines EVER

Goldie, I have to admit I grew up blessed in how I enjoyed all manner of music, all styles all backgrounds.
I really liked Soul Train as much as I did the Partridge Family and Jackson 5

That Boogie Oogie Oogie fit right beside Short People, What's new Pussycat, and ABC as easy as 123, Philadelphia Freedom, and Don't Go Breakin My Heart

oh man J5 had some KILLER bass work!

I still remember having to do a gymnastics tumbling routine in 6th grade. My song to do it to was the theme song from Shaft. Nice bass in that song too.
