Funk Bass Request : Mark Adams : Steal Your Heart : by SLAVE

[@Wilson632]

The Melodies of this song takes me back to girlfriends of the past💞

[@robertalston8782]

I saw Slave in Philly at the Spectrum, 18,000 plus were all on the feet, jammin at their seats. Blew my mind... RIP Mark Adams.

[@bean9seventy]

1st person in my "crib" location to play " Just a Touch "@ dec 1980 it was still only an underground "new joint" in a selected group disco clubs at that time , also 1st in my location on another joint in dec 1980 by Donald Byrd called Lovin You ,, both probably 1st " ever " played in the UK @ The Global Village kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJzVaKCrg96NnsU

[@ausarmizrahi4964]

My man. Mark....rest in peace my brother....your sound will always remain yours....there are many and then there was you💯👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💯🙌🏽

[@bean9seventy]

Robert Popswell , Bootsy, Mrcus Miller, < Mark Adams, > EWF , Louis Johnson , james jamerson

[@kevinmorgan263]

Him and Bernard Edward's two of my favorite players. Had their own signature style and tone , great octave runz ,Laid back grooves but super funky. Mark popularized that slide style and multi use of alternating between thumb and finger style simultaneously in one groove ❤

[@stanleygrayson3186]

Right on

[@ridedamaverick]

The first time I heard this song, I turned to my dad and told him I wanted a bass. One of the most underrated jams of all time.

[@onestarnus8657]

Isn't that Mark Adam's son on the bass?

[@onestarnus8657]

Isn't that Mark Adam's son on the bass guitar?

[@gregoryburton1241]

Mark "Hanslor" Adams was a great bassist. These cats were very young when they started Slave. Stevie "Fearless Leader " Washington, Steve Arrington, Mark "Drac" Hicks; hard to get that type of musicianship today.

[@TJMr63]

Facts 💯

[@RodneyTye]

My favorite bass player of all time Mark Drac Adams❤😅

[@keithbradley1197]

They were like 15 16 just very talented young brothers

[@MrCcoolg]

That was a great performance. Mark would have loved your rendition.

[@MrLadonne]

Oh he was alive during beans renditions, and probably heard Beans magic, but the problem is with the greats they I imagine have such big heads or ego's they wouldn't ackknowledge somone so talented as Beanseventy work.

[@chrisbennett6260]

sensational sheer shivers down the spine absolutely brilliant rest in peace real funk soul

[@bean9seventy]

thanks ,,,, & thanks to the guy who requested the joint

[@reginalddavis7578]

To call Mark Adams a Bass Genius is clearly an understatement! R.I.P. Mr Mark. The Funk genre misses your awesome sound

[@ronnettturner2538]

I could listen to this forever

[@mikomon309]

DUDE!!! You nailed this! One of my faves. Mark would be proud. Carry on....

[@DBNEBMUSICGROUP]

9yrs later this cover is still great

[@cheayunju]

I DID NOT KNOW about this guy. He's a secret to the people who haven't heard him yet. I'M glad I found this^^

My Brother why you at I havent been on your channel year. I just put in Slave bass cover and you came straight up. Brilliant.

[@ChristopherLeeEllis-k4e]

Good job My brother, good job 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎶🎵🎶🎵R I.P. MR.MARK

[@rexxgarvin5313]

One of the greatest pop funk jams ever!!! That ''showtime'' album is underrated!!!

[@eewillyte6162]

I totally agree. Showtime was my favorite Slave album. There is some really great bass playing and music composition on that album. I used to just play the whole album in a constant loop some days. For the Love of U was a great slow jam too . This is some of Steve Arringtons best vocal work and some of Mark Adams’s best bass work . The horns were outstanding also! It’s just a great album and if you like Slave it’s a must have! I hate to leave anyone out because the guitar work was great and the background vocals, the keys and everything. It’s just an all around great body of work!

[@Tadaia]

Turn on those party liiiiights! Yes my favorite too!

[@AtoOOniko]

Showtime and visions great great albums

[@Semperkick]

I concur. I was in Okinawa when this album came out. I think I wore my cassette out for listening to it so many times.

[@veronica0902]

Now that's what I call pure Funk!! Limburger cheese, popcorn smelling, athlete's foot, toe jam funk!!! You killed it dude! Mark Adams is smiling from the Heavens.

[@dalewimbish1435]

First of all praise and glory to mark for leaving us with this gift his mission here was over and done off to the next phase for him slave is one of my all-time favorite group because of Mark and all the rest of the gang LOL but it's his Superior Superior bass playing they made are one of the biggest fans of slave ever take this probably he still God and once again thank you

[@bean9seventy]

also Respect to the guy who requested it this tune was Not on my radar yet the guy knew or thought i had "some" knowledge of these kinds of joints, kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZoC4Ymt9fL5gqNU Mark Adams inspired bass line on the bone by "the crew" in real time

[@texasvice1]

I know that song backwards and forwards he put something in it at 1:47 that was beyond funky. Mark Addams would have been proud. Seriously you are a Monsta bass player on this song.

[@ralphboyd7428]

Holy Crap!!!! My gosh. Awesome. A slept on Monster Jam by Slave. Thanks for sharing.

[@gold-in-melanin7488]

I just played this on the way to work!

Good Musician🎸, Merry Christmas Jazz👏

[@mobetta5146]

I'm so glad you chose this song. It's my favorite by Slave. You are freakin' awesome! I've watched you over and over. I've picked up my bass and committed to learning to play thanks to watching you. Thanks, much appreciated!

[@bean9seventy]

thanks ,, still finding myself lost in not uploading music these days ,, unable to get my show on the road ,, i need to get some uploads onto you tube ,, once again thanks ,, keep it purple keep it funky ,

Bean, my man, you are ‘that dude’. Awesome

[@eewillyte6162]

This song and “Spice of life “ are two of Slaves most underrated songs! Also they are two of my favorite Slave songs ! I would love to see film of them performing this song live ! Somebody, anybody please upload!!! Oh and btw great bass playing bruh.

[@michaelbowman7428]

Magnificent job on one of my favorite Slave songs that showcased the late Mark "The Hansolor" Adam's bass playing skills.

[@richardpage5422]

the best bass player I have ever heard since Mark Adams

[@themilk7853]

Woohoo got me feeling the funk . Nice playing man love it 🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥

[@mmjaljs]

Solid as Hell......Funky & in the pocket!

[@HomeBuyersofOhio]

Dude!! You nailed it !!! I got to get this under my fingers now!.... thanks for posting

[@kevinmorgan263]

He had his own signature groove. He stay locked in on laid back pocket especially when Steve Arrington on drums and singing out the grooves 🥁. Dynamic duo. No one had a groove like that. Had their own sound. Mark's finger / thumb simultaneous playing combo style was one of a kind

[@marvinberry9874]

Nice...smooth flow too. Ya'll killin it in a good funky way. Stellar Funk forever.

[@zoneseven1222]

Bro, all I can say is that you are ICE COLD with that bass.

[@bean9seventy]

truly lost for words ,, over the years & thanks to the guy who requested this joint thank you Mr Canada ,, nice bass lines by yourself recently

[@zoneseven1222]

@@bean9seventy I appreciate the love, Brotha, but I only wish I could do what you do. I first saw you on that Marvin Gaye song and your flow and the smooth way you vibe is unreal. You definitely inspire me to get more focused and learn how to make that instrument a part of me. Oh, and since you take suggestions, I have one or two that I'd like to throw at you: (1) "Loving You" by Marcus Miller, and (2) "Don't Make Me Run Away" by Gladys Knight. OMG, you'll CRUSH these bass grooves. By the way, THANKS for just being a great bassist and a great person.

[@bean9seventy]

[@TDProduction58]

You are all on top of this bass line. Excellent. I have every song Slave made and I'm telling you this is nice.

[@footfunk1]

Keep it bangin! By the way....I sing lead on Slaves' 1983 Bad enuff and 1984 New Plateau....all lead vocals on the latter ...take care of your hands...Mark Adams used to wash his hands with warm water and soap to keep his fungk right!

[@collage1959]

You Right.

[@HH-hg4jx]

Yeah you definitely got that Bass down! Keep it coming and keeping Funk alive is what time it is!!

[@skelva100]

I just can't get enough of you and watching your fingers work.

[@charrieroyster5183]

Awesome Awesome Job!!! I Love Slave and you nailed this Jam on the head!!!!

[@02drpyro]

This bass is making my phone stank playing this video on it

[@bean9seventy]

Thank for the text , its a very tricky ghost note bass line ,it was a bass request ,, i followed Mark Adams as far as my bass & rigg would take me ,Mark Adams goes even deeper than i can hear ,i study American Funk as much as i can,: stone jammed stella funk ways ,

[@ericbrooks858]

That made my day love it one of my favorite songs seriously

[@bean9seventy]

cool , also thank the guy who requested this, without him it may never had happened ,

[@waltercarpenter2794]

Bean you have a unique stye I've study All bass players from Louis Marcus Stanley victor wooten Larry graham who mainly started slapping Mark Adams would have love the way you play this tune keep up the good work my brother I rate your playing with best when it comes to funk bass slapping

[@bean9seventy]

you know what ? you are right ,, without being boastful, no one else uses or plays the bass like B970 ,, go compare my jams to all the rest if you feel uncertain yes there some really big big players (pro bassists too) on line with 1m% awesome tones, slaps, licks, chops & mind blowing solos yet i sometimes stand out as different i am sure if my videos survive the many many years, people will start to see past the trolls & hate & start to use/ investigate my small contributions to bass, my mission was to fill the gap / create a bridge between Real 1970s bass players (like myself) & the here & now thank you kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJeVdHaJr8-Yfsk

[@michaledavissr.4661]

This your best cover . It has tone and tempo. It has attitude. I listen to the original and your version . The base slides and (growl ) thumbs ,slaps ,plucks are fantastic. I get my day going with this. Keep inspiring.

[@bean9seventy]

Thanks again ,, remember tho , i never intentionally uploaded this joint with Mark Adams in my sights ,, it was a request ,, obviously we knew the band well ,, as folks outside of USA ? we were into the band from the start ,, this tune instantly reminded me of Smokey Robinson ,, means my hearing was in that direction all i can say i am truly humbled by the response from All of you guys out there ,, mainly from America "home bass players" & OGs who like their bases & pitched in to the forum ,, ,, Thank You

[@out42c]

Oh boy killed it! That was masterful.

[@bean9seventy]

thanks ,,, & remember to thank the guy who requested this 10 years ago i also do requests ,, if the bass line is right please check out my other bass jams

[@bean9seventy]

the bass line swings over the beat ,, tho i only landed it at a certain level or point ,, suggest listening to a few brunswick label joints ,,& smokey robinson ,, it should help keep focus on keeping the stone jam sweet & bright ,, the stellar funk should /will work by its self ,,
