About Fred Thomas
"People Get Up And Drive Your Funky Soul!" with Fred Thomas of the J.B.'s! James Brown's bassist over 36 years!
A live-streamed concert produced by pandemusicnyc!
Fred Thomas occupies a very special niche in the history R&B. As James Brown’s principal bassist since 1971, he participated in one the most prolific periods in the Godfather of Soul’s incredible career as a member of Brown’s band, the J.B.'s.
Fred can be heard on hits such as: #HotPants, #PapaDontTakeNoMess, #MakeitFunky, #GetontheGoodFoot #DoingittoDeath, #ImaGreedyMan, #IGotAntsinMyPants, #ThereitIs, #StonedtotheBone, and instrumental classics like #PassthePeas and #GimmeSomeMore.
He's on the seminal "Live at the Apollo Vol. 3 #RevolutionoftheMind" and can be seen in #SoulPower (2008) documentary of James Brown's 1974 concert in Zaire, and in the many James Brown #SoulTrain appearances.

Cheap Yamaha TRBX 174 sounds great in his hands. Hands and is matter than expensive bass.

Finest Groove. Thank you Fred & the JBs

[@lospopularos]

I can’t believe how much style these people have with such difficult material. Material not so much difficult to play as difficult to sound genuinly funky. I know what I’m saying, I used to play this for a living.

Not the original bass player for this tune.

[@tplank216]

Yeah this was originally Bernard Odum. Fred was after Bootsy's stint

[@josephellis6697]

Yeah but Fred had played it more than any other bassists because he stayed in the JB’s band for more than 30 years
