"I Was Made to Love Her" on Wild Honey and Carol Kaye's claims
b00ts:
It is widely known that Carol Kaye claimed credit for many of James Jamerson's Motown bass lines. This was in the 1990s, long after Jamerson was gone, and the record keeping at Motown was shoddy. The company did not give any credit to sidemen back then.
According to most of the evidence, she did not play on the Motown sessions she claimed to play on, but she seemed convinced that she had. "I Was Made to Love Her" is one such tune.
The whole story is here, if you scroll down about halfway. (http://www.bassland.net/jamerson.html)
I am wondering if, in the case of "I Was Made to Love Her," she played on the Wild Honey session and misremembered it as the Motown/Stevie Wonder session.
Thoughts? AGD?

too me the bass lines sound similar to both ,in fact that was the first thing that stuck out for me and I heard the BB version before Stevies version..

Nothing I could say about her that you'd want to read. Horrible woman, and a liar to boot.

I don't understand why she has to lie about what she played on, Carol actually has a highly impressive resume of songs she played on.

A horrible woman? What did she do? Distort BBs history? If she did...
