Jocelyn Brown - Somebody Else's Guy (Bass Cover)

[@1904style]

The wealth of her groove is endless. Another demonstration of the power of the bass in a real artist's hands.

[@KiatHuang]

Reminds me of London clubs in the 80s. Fantastic job. Funky and sassy!

[@troyc4250]

Ok Julia... I was around when this jam originally dropped. You weren't born yet. You found this song and then elevated it. Thank you. There is hope...

I´m 52 now and I´ve tears in my eyes because it´s so good to see young talented people who love and feel the music like we did (and still do). FUNK & SOUL forever 🤩

[@TheRSTL]

I've heard that song a million times and never knew the bass line was so involved!

[@ElderHarryLJackson]

It wasn't until Julia go ahold of it.

[@quadmasta]

@@ElderHarryLJackson her rewrites are almost always better than the original

[@shayemoore]

Same here.

[@asmartbajan]

It's indeed a seriously complex bassline. And Julia surely did it justice. She's not intimidated by basslines of this caliber at all. She handles Larry Graham's "Hair" with equal finesse. (It's listed on her KZbin channel.)

[@ti84satact12]

Are you kidding? That bass lines slaps you in the face from the start!😊

[@jennmichelle70]

Julia jams to the music while PLAYING the same way we jam to it while LISTENING! I love that.

[@Mike-bm3qj]

I've been playing bass for 42 years learning from JJBurnel, Flea and Tim Commerford. Now I'm learning from you. I'm smiling and if they see this, I'm sure they're smiling too. Keep doing this and I hope rich rewards will follow.

[@jbmaillet]

JJBurnel aficionado her too. Saw in live somewhere in the 80s. How about a Whiskey? Or maybe a peache for dessert? (as for the others, I am more from the Marvin Gaye / Jamerson / Soul fhnk school.)

[@JoeSchmo-u1d]

Only 42 years? Do you sing at all?

[@cmgmac]

Jaw dropped at least 3 times. Brilliant Julia! 🤩

[@celestehill4646]

Julia does it again....Play that bass girl...Jocelyn is diggin this for sure.. This was a club and radio fav from the 80's....RIP Jocelyn Brown

[@naimak1]

I don’t think Jocelyn has passed away and is still very much with us

[@WimRijksen]

RIP when? She's still alive AFAIK?

[@MrOccamRazor]

Jocelyn Brown is still alive.

[@DJ2Legit007]

Now THAT'S how you're supposed to play this song! Her groove was spot on! Nailed it!!! I've been playing bass since the 70s and I know a great funky bass player when I see/hear one. I especially loved her body language and facial expressions. So confident!

[@barbmiller5951]

Couldn't get the audio to work on my phone so I watched you play in silence. Made me smile to watch you feel the groove. I'll listen when I get to my computer.

[@naomijones1850]

So CALM while she's tearin' up the joint on that axe! She does all female artists PROUD!!!!!!!!!!❤😂🎉😻💜🩵💙💚💛🧡🩷💕💞👌❤️‍🩹💯👍🫶💪

[@justjuangoodcitizen4297]

I love when she does these old funk soul songs. Personally I think this girl will smoke any bass player out now.

[@marciaross2392]

She's sooo good that she makes you like songs you didn't even know you liked!!! It's crazy how I can hear a song countless times and never really hear it until JULIA puts her spin on it.

[@The_Great_White_Moose]

You gotta love her “funk face”.😖 Keep slappin’ Julia!👍🏻

[@ceci0636]

Julia, you are such an incredible musician. It makes my family and me so happy to listen to you playing. Thank you so much for sharing your talent.

[@marcoportunato]

OUTSTANDING cover of the immortal 1984 Jocelyn Brown classic I danced at the disco in my twenties...the groove and punch you deliver with those bass parts is a clear demonstration of the saying "the sound lies in the hands". You have my never ending admiration.

[@nkyryry]

How is she not a known session player? Her playing is so tight.

[@charliemdem7813]

Not that easy to break into the session business, my friend. They are all incredible players. She will get there; she has time.

[@dan9337]

She lives in Poland, not exactly a commercial music mecha. If she moved to the US I can see her getting work pretty damn quick.

[@carpediemarts705]

And she's in music school.

[@Fredwitrave]

At this point in her life she is a known KZbin player. Rome wasnt build in a day.

[@ke6igz]

She sure has enought talent to be a session player. Just remember that a session player has to be able to sight read and learn parts instantly. They also have to improvise at the drop of a hat.

[@clevelandjeg]

You make a drummer want to learn bass. Keep it up, incredible.

[@klchu]

Same!

[@stefanov1970]

same..!

[@theboygds100]

Thank you Julia, at aged 50 you’ve inspired me to pick up the bass, you are completely amazing, please don’t stop making videos !!

[@SignatureStampsFan]

Please just make her the next Carol Kaye and have her be the studio bassist in every session everywhere. There's not a cover I have heard that she doesn't make instantly better.

[@KevinRevolinski]

I say she "ruins" songs. Once you hear Julia's version you can't ever enjoy the original in quite the same way! More Julia; fewer boring bass parts. ;)

[@diegodeparasis1004]

hopefully yes

[@bobblack6816]

Amen to that! Fantastic and beautiful ❤

[@bigjakemedia]

@@KevinRevolinskiYES! I have always said when I go back and listen to the originals after Julia’s covers I’m disappointed by the lack of spicy bass 😂

[@runswithbeer]

​@@KevinRevolinski yes! I'll be listening to a radio version and start playing air guitar with the thumping sounds!

[@nakynie463]

Serotonin whenever Julia posts

[@jo_mesquita]

Your channel made me appreciate even more the bassline on every song I listen to fr

[@fantomtracks]

I love the way you making your videos. No effects, just a simple bass plug in a computer et voilàà. You and your talent, you really need nothing else to be a pro class musicien

[@MrZeemonsta]

You are by far my favorite bassist on KZbin. Wow! Your touch, your tone, your execution, your timing, are all perfect. Somehow you manage to make the bass the most melodic and interesting part of every arrangement you write. Any tips on how you managed to get so good at the instrument. Us normies want to learn your ways 😅 Anyway, thank you for posting again. Hope your life is rocking. Cheers and aloha!

[@blueskytv411]

You are the one .....

[@MasterZhao]

Very nice! I kinda like Julia Hofer as well (Thomanns)

[@naomijones1850]

This "Little Girl" is as PROFESSIONAL as all get out! She's an absolute BEAST on that bass guitar!!!!!😮😃😄😁😇🥰😍🤩😙🤠🥳

Gotta give credit to this girl,,, Everything she does,,,she's just on point! Excellent song selection as well can't wait to see her on the big stage with her own band one day soon! Keep that groove going! The world needs more people like her,,,, thank you for keeping the music alive🙌🏻

[@theviolingeek]

Keeping the "REAL" music alive is important! Put a stop to sampling!!!

[@blakghost2023]

Nooooooooooo...not Somebody else's Guy. Noooooooo. Not only i got the 6-minute version on vinyl, but this is one of my favorite records coming up as a kid. Little mama, Major salute. I hope Jocelyn Brown likes this video. Also, since you did this cover, look up Jean Burton-Bad Habit. Same kind of vibe, but funky at the same time.

[@UncommonManFromEarth]

I hadn't listen to that song in ages and actually listened to it yesterday and there you go dropping an amazing cover as usual. Crazy!

[@kelvinphillips3528]

What's so crazy is every song she has covered that I was familiar with, Never too much, Forget me nots and now this, I have come away liking the song more than when I first heard it. I am now a subscriber just so I can see what she does next. Well done, Julia, well done!

[@Sunshine-dv5pk]

So smooth, Julia! You are beyond talented. Thank you for sharing! 🎉❤ 🎸

[@mwmfl8960]

I have been waiting for such a funky tune since the end of last year. Thank you for covering! Excellent work as usual!

[@AndieTerror]

[@notbugs]

Holy smokes, this was Epic. Love your take on one of my favourite tunes from back in the days. Cheers from Sweden! 🇸🇪

[@rrocktoo]

Watching this video gave me a better appreciation of the original bass performance. Julia’s version is enjoyable as always and sounds beautifully clean, but back in the day those licks must have been scary.

[@SafezoneExpert]

That's the real funky shit! Amazing! I was 15 as I bought me the vinyl maxi single of this song. What a great time and how great to see you young lady point out this addictive bassline.

Unbelievably smooth slap bass. Learning this song atm and was just watching her right hand for the whole video. The transitions from fingerstyle to slap was effortless and all the extra fills just thrown in were Unbelievable. Great cover!

[@jrisdr]

Layers upon layer here- still noticing things you did in this one after multiple viewings. You really are the lyric poet of the bass guitar.

[@kennogawa6638]

That shortscale bass sounds so different from your other basses. I never realized how in a skilled musician there would be a noticeable difference.

[@metallsnubben]

Yeah if we're talking what affects sound of electric bass/guitar the most, it's like amp+effects -> pickups -> strings/scale length (guitar maybe has less of a "thing" with roundwound vs flat but certainly still string _thickness_ and such)

[@valentino246]

That song totally reborn for me. WOW. that was terrific I was sitting here smiling like a loon. 😁

This is one of the funkiest songs of the early 80's, a big dancefloor hit. There are many gems like this, most people don't know them. So it is more than astonishing that Julia from time to time play one of these gems, because she wasn't born in the 80's.
