Level 42: “Children Say,” “The Spirit Is Free” and “Leaving Me Now” (Live)

At a studio session a few days ago, I had a conversation about bassists who double on vocals. That got me thinking about the great Mark King.

Level 42 is a great example of an extremely tight band. It blows my mind that he can do both at the same time! His bass lines are intricate! I can play drums and sing, but the bass is harder for me because I want to sing what I play. Mark does it flawlessly!
