American bassist Anthony Jackson died at 73 on Sunday. He played with Philly Soul artists such as Billy Paul & jazz artists such as Chick Corea. His phased, echoey Wah Wah bassline on 1974 O’Jays song “For the Love of Money” is legendary #RIPAnthonyJackson m.youtube.com/watch?v=0exM...

Before “Electric Avenue,” Eddy Grant Melded Mod & Soul in The Equals
