Fred Thomas – Bass
Not enough has been said about the amazing bassists who have backed James Brown. The vintage music made by J.B. and his ever-changing band is among the most influential made during the 20th century.Scores of low-enders have bounced in and out of Brown’s band, but Fred Thomas has held the bass chair in the world’s premier funk & soul outfit for the better part of 33 years. He anchored the fort on such hits as “Hot Pants, Pt. 1,” “Make It Funky, Pt. 1,” and “Papa Don’t Take No Mess.” The sheer number of hip-hop tracks that use those lines prompted Brown to refer to Thomas as the “most sampled bass player in the world
Fred Thomas came into Desert Rock Studios and put the bottom down for Paris Toon and Mothers Favorite Childs new CD. Fred will be back sometime in September.
