Speaking of not going ten minutes without hearing her, once in the nineties I had the good fortune to have a lesson with her, and I took her out to dinner after (all platonic, just two musician friends). The restaurant had an “oldies” station on, and I swear that for the entire time our the meal took, for every song played either *she* had played the bass part or had been down the hall in the next studio when it was recorded, or had a funny story about how it came to be. What a joy to be with her! Then we went to the Baked Potato and had us some fine jazz!

Carol Kaye has a unique blend of humility and exceptional musical genius. May G-d bless Carol Kaye and make more people like her.

I just love her story,love and enthusiasim. What a special person.

Amazing, a true legend! God bless her! Greetings from Peru.

Wow! How could I not have known about her? What a tremendous impact she has had!

A true professional musician and class act

The general listening public had no clue who she was or her past. but musicians from top tier to amateur, we have known who this classy lady and her great bass was for decades. About time she gets time in the spotlight. Love you Carol, you are an inspiration to many.

This woman has got a great vibe. Great sense of humor and quick to a smile.

Oh my goodness. I love Carol. And if she’s not in the R&R Hall of from then it’s a shame, because this lady’s a legend who was there almost when it started. As a bassist myself seeing this video with Carol just send chills up my spine. As a child and teenager growing up in the sixties and seventies all of those shows that she played bass was some of my favorite shows growing up. When I started playing bass I was mostly into Jameson and Babbitt at Motown. Never knowing that a young lady was creating all of those awesome beautiful bass lines on those classic songs. And of she’s right, gender don’t matter because a great musician depends on putting the work in. I hope there’s a documentary on Ms. Kaye because she’s a living legend. 4-Sure. Peace Out. 👍🏾🎼

She seems like such an authentic down to earth person

The bass ties everything together and is so important, I have known of carol since I was a teenager and Im 57 now, the thing is I don't know how I got to know of her as a bassist.

She is a legend to us bass players.

Thanks yt algorithm. This kinda musician should be under the spotlight.

I can't love this compilation enough!!! I double on bass and had the good fortune to get to attend a seminar Carol gave at TrueTone Music in Santa Monica several years ago. Standing room only crowd packed to the rafters, and I could count the female bassists (myself included, and some of them may have been tagging along with their partners) on one hand. Life changing experience!

Total legend of the highest order and yet so grounded ........No arrogant ego here. Ms Kaye, your respect has been thoroughly EARNED 100%.

Carol is a musical genius! The bass is the string to a song & what makes the song so catchy

Happy Birthday, Carol - you are truly one of the greatest bass players! 🙏🤩💐

The beat goes on line is like the good times bass line...you will never forget it!

I'm 45 years old so when I was a kid I caught the tail end of the seventies and early '80s when she was probably still cutting some of that stuff new. since then from the influence and inspiration of my mother who loved all kinds of funky old music and had lots of records I myself have a huge record collection of all kinds of music but lots of '70s funky stuff. I have a lot of the records that were flashing across the screen and until now I had no idea no one similar thing between all those records this super funky bass was all the same person and she is an amazing awesome bass player. I'm so shocked and amazed finding this out because like I can totally hear the similarity and so many different old songs and tracks it I can totally hear it now that yeah that makes sense why it sounded so similar I just thought that was the sound of the seventies and all the instruments and the players had it figured out and it was just groovy back then but it turns out one ladies responsible for all that so awesome. she needs to be on Mount funkmore!!!!! ☮️❤️🎵🌍🤗🏁

I remember hearing from one of my dads friends that her, Hal Blaine and others were really The Partridge Family. So I knew thru the run of the show. She along with the others were unbelievable!
