Fontella Bass – Rescue Me, By Tom Kipp

“Rescue Me” is certainly the equal of Peak Aretha on Atlantic, but arrived a full 18 months IN ADVANCE of Miz Franklin’s first venture into the Top 10! It also boasts one of the great bass lines in the history of pop music, from R&B to Postpunk!

– Tom Kipp

RIP Fontella Bass 1940 – 2012
