This cut from 1968 has Carol Kaye on bass with Paul Humphrey on drums and Artie Butler on keyboard. Starts out on keyboard but then the group just falls into an amazing groove. Joe Cocker was in the studio singing with them - Carol loved how much Joe Cocker sounded like Ray Charles

They played a fantastic take but the engineer had forgotten to roll the tape. So they just did it again and it was really great -- but Carol still thinks about the version that wasn't recorded and what that might have been.

"Feelin' Alright" was written by Dave Mason, and this recording features backup vocals from a group that included Brenda Holloway.

Carol Kaye is an incredible musician who has been on the music scene for over fifty years.

She has played all genres and we will be seeing more of her bass work in future posts.
