Reading Berry Gordy's "To Be Loved"
I started digging into Motown
stuff and came across Jamerson, a bass titan. The ghost interview
is great:

Hey, wenn Du jetzt gesagt hättest "Höre in letzter Zeit viel Motown",
dann hätte ich bestimmt gemeint "Yeah, James Jamerson, der kommt
gut."
Now that I listened again and closer to Jamerson's work some of it
sounds like black magic to me. The simple fact that he plucked all this
with his index finger exclusively makes me wanna cry really. Burkhard,
you play bass too?
Great article.
Being a mere mortal I shall continue to use three fingers, however.
