absolutely, and every line has something interesting going on, even when they're simple. hard to fathom how great of a musician he was! thanks for watching!
some nice things going on with this one, i have to think he put in the figure at 0:53 as a callback to his line on Gladys Knight's I Heard It Through The Grapevine, since it's right after Shorty Long sings the exact same line, and the Gladys Knight tune is full of similar runs :)
Wow when i heard the lyric that was the first thought i had but i was gonna need to refer back to the two versions of grapevine to see which one it was a reference to haha awesome I wonder if that was introduced a few takes into recording and if it was simply his idea or something thought out ahead of time by other funk brothers or the songwriters themselves.
@@Keychain- hard to know! i could see it going either way, i imagine Grapevine was already a well known hit so maybe he was asked to put a little reference in, but it could also have been a spur of the moment thing from JJ. :)
