Damn! RIP

Hey Good Lookin and Do Fries Go With That Shake are awesome. And he did a lot on that Tackheads album.

I have yet to listen to Jimmy G and the Tackheads. However, I remain enamored of Washington’s bass playing technique on “Hey Good Lookin” even today. It’s such a cool style with its popping and sliding of the instrument’s strings!

RIP

He could get a nice tone on trumpet as well. Him and GC got it going pretty good in the 80’s and of course, Slave- the most underrated funk band ever.

No doubt. He kinda sorta stepped in after the Junie era.
