"I Want You Back", is a classic, Top Cat , well done, it is also extremely hard to play because of the rests written into it, and it also doesnt sound overtly musical, due to its commerciality.
I played this particular beast of a line with a soul band, and we spent quite a long time sticking it together with the brass section.
Here`s another..."Jamaica Funk" Tom Browne.
Billie Jean by Michael Jackson for me. One of those that you know when it comes up what the song is and it is perfect for writing.
On another level i also like the Darkness by the Police a nice mix of reggae and jazz.
Also sorry JK Duran Duran had some very good basslines:
The Reflex, Notorious a couple of my favourites.
