This is intended to be a homage to very many musicians I've loved since I started listening to music. My intention is to tell what I know about them, hoping that those people who like them too, will help me fill numerous gaps, which I may have in their careers and discographies. Sorry, but there are no MP3 audio files here at all, just info (and love for the musicians).

Bob Babbitt (bass)

MINIMAL BIOGRAPHY:

Fantastic bassist, Bob Babbitt belonged to a few bands but his main work was in the studio. He was born Robert Kreinar in 1938 (and he sometimes appears credited to that name). He was a member of The Funk Brothers, the mythical backing band that played in so many great funk albums.

Bob Babbitt passed away on July 16th, 2012 due to brain cancer. But we still have his superb playing in so many great albums.
