From a deep dive into 80s funk adjacent music, I swear a band like Level 42 had a similar bassline somewhere. But I’ve trawled all of Level 42 and couldn’t find it. Has anyone heard a similar bassline from a band long before Thundercat?

Not intending to take away anything from Thundercat; I love his work. It’d help settle a long-running question in my head.

I know that the drums are from ‘Footsteps in the Dark’ by the Isley Brothers by the way!

Eta: stupid autocorrect in the title; should read ‘bassline’
