Aretha Franklin with Jerry Jemmott: “Make It With You” (1971)
Sometimes you just need a nice buttery groove to make your day. Here’s Jerry Jemmott making it happen with Aretha Franklin on the song “Make It With You” during her 1971 concert at Fillmore West.
In his time with No Treble, Kevin has met hundreds of amazing bassists and interviewed icons like Jack Casady, Victor Wooten, Les Claypool, Marcus Miller, and more. He's a gigging bassist performing jazz in Northern Virginia and bluegrass with The Plate Scrapers up and down the East Coast. Kevin appreciates all genres of music, from R&B to metal and everything in between. Connect with Kevin on Facebook and check his performance schedule on his website.
This album is a CLASSIC if you dig R&B bass. His playing in “Love The One You’re With”, it does not get any better. Aretha “Live at the Fillmore” and Donnie Hathaway Live at the Troubadour should be required listening!
I made a tape (yeah, it was that long ago, a cassette tape) with the live Aretha album this track is from on one side, and the live Donny Hathaway album on the other side. I listened to that on the way to every gig for several years. One cannot go wrong listening to Jerry Jemmott and Willie Weeks on the way to a gig!
