My fave is
Supremes - Keep Me Hangin' On.
Simply because the bassline takes so many unexpected dips and swerves away from the trad root note progressions and from the standard rythmn pattern. Its a complete tour-de-force of the things I like so much about Jamerson. The creativity in those 2m 38secs is astounding.
What I like most about Jamerson was that he used his musical knowledge to make his life easier - why stretch all the way to a root note when there was a already perfectly good third sitting a fret up?
