BTW that bass player's name who provided those bass licks on "For the Love of Money" is Anthony Jackson. "MAD PROPS" to the folks who made us "GET DOWN WITH THE PHILLY SOUND". The stuff they did with the Iceman Jerry Butler was just practice of what was to come down the Philly soul pipeline. I'll tell ya be down on the floor with each speaker next to your earhole, listening and taking in every word sung and every note played!!!
