I once heard Marcus Miller say that there's three Bass Guitarist's with the utmost PRECISION needed for studio, who also had the ability to transfer that precision and discipline to the live stage; James Jamerson Anthony Jackson Willie Weeks Greetings from Uganda 🇺🇬👊🏿🖤

I was 13yrs old when I first heard this amazing solo, summer of 73. I got my first Bass that following Christmas, and haven't looked back, still playing, thank you Willie Weeks.

OMG!! This song came out when I was a very young bass player. 62 years later I just witnessed one of the greatest bass solos ever. Thank you Mr. Weeks.

This bass solo has lived rent free in my head for a long time. So satisfying to hear him recreate it.

Willie Weeks apparently bought a villa in Karuizawa, Japan, and the person who originally lived next door was Masayoshi Takanaka, a Japanese jazz fusion guitarist, and that's how they got to know each other, which led to this guest performance. It's hard to believe that such coincidences exist in the world, but it's true. By the way, the keyboard player in this band is Keiji Matsumoto, a jazz fusion keyboard player who has released several solo albums only in Japan. But hey, even if you're a guest, why don't you do a solo on Donny Hathaway's voices inside? Who came up with the idea? All I can say is good job.

This is one of the most iconic bass solos ever recorded. It was because when it was recorded, bass players were not being featured in R&B music, I'm surprised that he still remembers it because it was recorded about 50 years ago.

Willie Weeks just took me on a ride I didn’t even know I had a ticket to!
-
Willie Weeks is absolutely one of the greatest bassplayers.
-
Willie Weeks is still COLD BLOODED ON THAT BASS RIGHT ON ❤
-
I've always loved this solo and while I could figure out the notes and get pretty close, I can never get his feel. That's a real bassman. Thanks Willie

Everything is Everything! Donny Hathaway

One of the 1st bass lines I listened to when I started playing 60+ years ago. The feel of his playing is unmatched. Thank you Mr Weeks 👍🏽🔥🔥🔥

I wore the grooves out on that album when it came out. I have loved me some Willy Weeks ever since!
-
I wore out a couple of vinyl copies of Donny Hathaway Live before it was released on CD. That album was my introduction to Willie Weeks and I've been bopping along to him for over 50 years now. Life is good.
-
Willie's groove is so far down in the pocket! He blows me away.
-
One of the greatest solos ever! Modern solos don't compare! Sharay Reed even borrowed from Willie Weeks to my ears, and that speaks volumes.
-
