Now, more than a dozen years after Levert’s untimely passing, a full solo career retrospective collection is coming from Soul Music Records. And he later became a consistent force on the R&B charts as a solo artist and as part of the group LSG. We first got to know Levert as a very young man in the group that bore his last name. The only thing that makes it stand out from some other tracks is that the bass is done with an electric piano.(May 10, 2023) Soul music fans still miss singer and songwriter Gerald Levert. The rhythm parts on "Got To Give It Up" are plain trivial and I feel embarrassed for those that are convinced there's something really unique to that recording going on. So there's hardly that much room for "innovation" there. What usually occurs on the 3 is another strong note.
One of them is pretty much always the root note and it occurs on the 1. Most basslines are made of notes of 2-4 different pitches. Suing on basslines is ridiculous in any case, unless there's really a very recognizeable groove going in. We're not gonna re-hash the blurred lines verdict in every thread no matter how many condesending comments you make. Not one single sentence you wrote addresses what mjc actually posted. PS the two basslines are nothing alike (BL/GTGIU), the MJ example has much more in common.
I thought that Pharrell had stated the Marvin Gaye influence on Blurred Lines from the very start and that is what helped get them in trouble? That wasn't so uncommon back in the day either, but having an electric piano do the bass on a contemporary hit like "Blurred Lines" just made it stick out. The only thing that makes it stand out from some other tracks is that the bass is done with an electric piano. With what type of "logic" is the first one more excusable? Michael, Quincy and their team took basslines note for note without crediting the originators when Pharrell just did a bassline that reminded of something else without being the same at all. How is that supposed to be somehow "better" than what Pharrell did?
True,but you can clearly see a pattern of musicians "borrowing" from each other.Some make a big deal of it,some take it as a form of flattery.
He never gloated that he created it from scratch. Quincy never insisted that the baseline was original which does make a difference. I guess the difference between that particular case versus the Blurred Lines one is that Pharrell tried to perpetuate that he created the base line from scratch as if the entire production was an original piece of work when it wasn't. E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator Hell,when Rick was producing "All Night Long" for the Mary Jane Girls,he was clearly influenced by Keni Burke's "Keep Rising To The Top".Compare those two basslines.But it's OK. Quincy approached Rick at a party and told him that they borrowed the bassline from "Give It To Me,Baby" when they were creating the song "Thriller".Rick was cool with it.They're friends.They are influenced by each other.It's not really "stealing".There's no negativity involed at all. I'd be surprised if any of the guys from that generation support the Blurred Lines verdict.they know how inspiration works and they know when a melody is different or the same. Perhaps it doesn't suit their personal agenda of not liking a particular person/character, regardless of anything to do with the history of songwriting? People like to forget/not acknowledge that musicians and songwriters have taken inspiration from each other since the beginning of time.
