James Jamerson - "Right On"


Here's my transcription of James Jamerson's line on "Right On", from Marvin Gaye's classic 1971 record What's Going On. This is an interesting bit of playing from Mr. Jamerson - his lines are usually free & loose, with lots of variation; in this case his playing is super straight-forward, almost machine-like in its consistency.

Some folks claim that this was actually played by Bob Babbitt, who was present on a few of this album's tracks. The album jacket, however, says it's Jamerson.
