Wanna know how respected Bernie Worrell is?
Here’s the band for this track:
- Clavinet, Synthesizer, Organ, Lead Vocals: Bernie Worrell
- Bass: Bootsy Collins
- Drums: Steve Jordan
- Keyboard: Herbie Hancock
- Guitar: Keith Richards, Jimmy Ripp, Bootsy Collins
- Saxophone: Maceo Parker
- Background Vocals: Gary Cooper, Sheila Washington, Jody Bell, Doug Duffey
Forget about Herbie Hancock and Keith Richards: Bernie got Gary Cooper, and he’s been dead since 1961. That’s respect.
(Also: that is the laziest album cover I’ve ever seen. Love you, Bernie, but it’s true.)
I didn’t realize he played on Never Buy Texas From a Cowboy, now that’s a classy album cover.
Also Gary Cooper’s nickname is Mudbone, that’s sweet!
So worth it to track down the Kimock 4tet with Bernie.
