Just listening to Babbitt and Jamerson did more to teach me how to play bass than any lessons I ever had. Thank you so much Mr. Babbitt!

I miss my friend. We wrote and recorded and hung out for several years as friends. I'm happy he became born again in Jesus and is in Heaven and in my future! Love Ann his wife, miss them.

Can you even imagine playing with a legend like Mr. Bob Babbit, much less being on stage with him! WOW!

This performance was icing on the cake of a day when Bob was awarded a Lifetime Achievement award from Duquesne Univ. and the mayor proclaimed it Bob Babbitt day for the city of Pittsburgh, his hometown.

Bob grooves in his home town. Had to be a blast for him!!

GREAT!! Wow!! Even in 2008, Bob was still grooving his ass off!! A true inspiration & a true GREAT musician. Thanks Bob.

Beautiful Bob ...A Funk Brother. Check him out on Standing in the Shadows of Motown. A truly sweet man. James Jamerson is probably better known but Bob is just as much of the heart and soul of Motown.

wow. just stumbled on this by chance. i have played many a social function in my day and this video proves how so few play these songs correctly. Bob shows how it is done. Really amazing how the proper bass lines/stye make it happen.

What a Great Bass Player ! I was in the Snake Pit on 7/5/13 it was a great day !

Kudos to Mr. Babbit for doing this for them. RIP Mr. Bob Babbit.

Miss Marvin Gaye’s voice. Love watching Bob. This was a real nice surprise to find. Thank you.

A truly joyous video...Mr. Babbit had SO much talent...he will be missed.

Incredible bass playing from Bob Babbitt. He just lives it. The feeling and drive is wonderful.Thanks a million for focussing in on him so we can see what he is doing. His death was a huge loss to the music world.

IT MAY SEEM LATE BUT THANK YOU MR. BOB BABBITT FOR ONE OF THE GREATEST BASS SOLOS OF ALL TIME OF YOU COULDN'T PLAY IT THEN YOU COULDN'T PLAY THAT SOLO IS THE ONE YOU PLAYED " SCORPIO "🎼🎸🎵YOU WILL ALWAYS BE A BASS LEGEND AND A TRUE GENTLEMAN.

Babb blessed so many people. He was a rare non egomaniac. I was so blessed to work with him at his home and on the studio. Me and him and Scattie, Scat Springs hung out often. Miss those days!

sad to hear of his passing he was up there with the very best and an inspiration to everyone who likes to be a musican just brilliant

Great job from Bob Babbit bass and the band !...

I admire Bob for just being a humble player replacing James Jamerson. He said “Now those were some hard shoes to fill”

RIP Bob Babbitt. You were a class act and will be sorely missed.

Rest in peace lovely man. Thank you for all the music and the inspiration

How clean and simple he played! It's not easy to keep it simple

This great man is gone. But he will never ever be forgotten!!!! Thanks for posting!!!!

what's going on album is a true bass masterpiece. True masters die as well unfortunately.

Is it just me noticing that Mr. Babbitt is definitely not feeling well. He hurts and yet such dedication. You are right Cory Bates. A true legend indeed. God has all the best with Him now. Do not take this out of context but it is making wish I was up there listening to all the greatness. :-) Cheers!!!

Everyone on this is top notch. Nailing it

He's gone, but just watching Bob Babbitt play those classic lines gives me chills!! So smooth...so articulate. The man could groove!

I remember the first time I nailed the Sign Sealed Delivered Line.

Bye, Bob. Good man and great bass player!

Man that guy has the touch he’s playing for us all now with the eternal band

He was so damn humble he would play with ppl far below his level.. he was a rare dude

I got to hear Babbitt with the Funk Brothers. What a night! There wasn't a dry eye in the house when they played "What's Going On! He will be missed!

These guys sound great. Bob is layin' it down.

Mr. B.B. one of the greatest!😎 Love U 4 Ever!

Frisson gets me every time I watch this ❤❤

Bob's playing the prototype of his Bob Babbitt Signature Bass from Fender, which was never released. Sadly when he passed, Fender changed gears and released it as an other artist's signature bass.

Thank you Bob

Great video. Thanks for posting. Bob is the man!

Awesome! What a legend!

5 biskits .....RIP Bob ...you've lifted me higher than you'll ever know ....Thanks for all the gr888 years .....

The man.

The best of the best filling James Jamersons shoes was a big step for Bobby RIP

So nice and good Music !...

Ottimo bassista🔝🙏 R. I. P.

Very good friend I played his Bass one night

Amazing!

great love it

RIP

Effortless like it was inevitable. I'm wondering, what that white thing was under the top/G string, down at the nut? Maybe, maybe... it was some thin foam to mute the G, possibly the D string, too? Perhaps the nut slot was messed up and he has a piece of paper under the string in the nut groove to compensate... I don't even like my best guesses here; they don't make enough sense. 1. Muting is usually done at the bridge. 2. I don't believe Bob Babbitt would perform with an instrument that isn't in 100% tip top setup condition.

rest in peace, bob!

Bob Babbit filled some big shoes ❤️

Babbit the wonder man

He couldn`t play a bad note if he tried!

Anyone know who is playing the telecaster? He is having a blast!

Where is his pjb amp i dont see it

Looks like he is using a mute bar on his Precision. Anyways his sound is amazing, what a sweet touch

Flatwounds?

Who is the guitar player by Bob here?

OMG that look at 11:37..... you know you f*cked up

My master harrierdog says,that mr. Babbit is better bassist as you are.

who is the singer? He doesn't deserve a back up band this good.

Babbitt is great but this singer blows big time. Could he be any flatter? Terrible. But Babbitt is King.

Who are these wanna be punks anyway? They didn't deserve Bob.
