I love the linked article on Stevie's drumming prowess: he is indeed a fantastic drummer, one of the best.

Stevie also had the great bassist James Jamerson on many of these tunes: check out Jamerson's amazing lines on "For once in my life"!

I think it's Jack playing on this one. He's still pretty handy, even if he isn't Joe Dart :)

Jamerson's tl;dr: he's the Alan Turing of the bass.

Similarly everwhere foundational, quite unknown and a ~dramatic end.
