This one is so simple it doesn’t need much discussion.  The verses are played two at a time, then one chorus. 

There’s a wonderful bass player we do a lot of sessions with named Lebron Scott.  His nickname is Porky.  He’s probably best known as the bass player for people like Curtis Mayfield and Lenny Kravitz, but my friend and co-writer Bryan Cole produced hundreds of Blues and Soul sessions with Porky on bass.  I loved the groove of this totally simple bass part, and thought it would make a great jam track, though it certainly doesn’t do Lebron justice.   As Dr. John The Night Tripper said “It ain’t what you do, it’s de way how you do it!”
