Deserves a thread since 'Rescue Me' is one of the greatest tracks ever laid down in a studio.

Heard this yesterday. RIP. Agreed on it being one of the greatest ever. Like it came from outer space.

Crazy that I don't think I never even knew her name.

That's one of those songs that is on the mountaintop but I've probably thought it was sung by Aretha or the Martha and Vandellas or something all my life.

RIP.

Also knowing that Darrin is a fan of guitars, my first thought upon seeing the thread title was "oh, I guess Fontella has stopped making a bass that he was a fan of."

Double ignorant.

Drinky beat me to it. I like Fontella Bass solo but love her work with Art Ensemble of Chicago. RIP indeed.

Also, Fontella Bass is one of the world's most awesome names. So awesome that if it hadn't existed Dr. K would've made it up himself.
