		Kaye helps these young women with basic wellness such as checking blood pressure, making sure appointments are kept with the doctor, and connecting them with the school nutritionist at the Wellness Center.

		Her claim is that a significant portion of Motown's biggest hits were cut in LA by herself and a cast of West Coast musicians, as opposed to being recorded in Detroit by the Funk Brothers with James Jamerson on bass.
		Additionally Carol spoke in an old GUITAR PLAYER issue of something she did on this track "just before the horns come in." There are no horns on this record to hear and the tracking sheet backs that up.
		Carol and her lawyer said the contracts, like the notarized affidavits we obtained from various Motown producers, are also forgeries and the contracts are innacurate.

	History Of The Electric Bass
		Carol was a “pick player” and had a unique approach to using the pick; the sounds she coaxed out of her bass were different than the sound many of her peers were getting, who were playing either with their thumb (in the style of Monk Montgomery) or finger-style.
		These musicians were hired in part because of their improvisational ability, and in part because they knew how to make “that sound that was selling all the records.” In time, all musicians that would last in the LA studio scene would have to acquire good sight reading abilities.
		Carol Kaye was one of many unsung heroes of the recording industry of the 1960's.

		They worked a numbing work schedule (15 hour days were not unusual) although the rewards were great -- Carol Kaye has commented that during her peak as a session musician, she earned more per year than the President.
		The talents of this group of 'first call' players were used on almost every style of recording including TV theme songs, film scores, advertising jingles and almost every genre of American popular music from The Monkees to Bing Crosby.
		The best-known 'members' of this unofficial group are bassist Carol Kaye (one of the few women working in the top echelon level of the recording the industry at the time) and drummer Hal Blaine, who has played on tens of thousands of recording sessions, and is believed to be the most recorded drummer in history.

		Carol Kaye also picked various '60s rosewood-neck P-Basses on Beach Boys sessions (starting with a '63); too busy to change strings, she would simply trade in for a new P-Bass every two years.
		Kaye kept her Fender medium flatwounds fairly high off the fingerboard, and she also placed a piece of felt under the bridge pickup cover, right where the strings left the saddles, to help mute the strings while picking.
		Other key basses in Beach Boys lore are Kaye's Danelectro-which Glen Campbell borrowed for his solo on his hit song "Wichita Lineman," because of its hot pickup-and Lyle Ritz's acoustic bass with a low C extension.

		First up is a lone track that was supposed to be part of Carol Kaye post but frankly, I'm still looking for a few better tracks to go with it but it's been months now and I wanted to finally get "Soul Reggae" out there before more time went by.
		As for "2001," this oft-covered movie theme appears on a strange pop instrumental album by the Wonderland Space Shuttle, part of a larger trend of '60s and '70s albums that were all covers of TV and movie themes.
		I'm not really a huge fan of the 2001 theme (though Deodato's is pretty essential) but this one holds up fairly well, especially in the beginning with those Afro-influenced drums and the keys.
