Auto-scroll

The Supremes released this Holland-Dozier-Holland track in Oct 1964 That became a massive number one worldwide. Bass performance from The legend James Jamerson. Tab by bass50611. Straight forward song but One can never be 100% when tabbing Jamerson’s bass line, played on his Upright Bass, but I think Its very close to the original recording. Comments is [email protected]
