Ah kijk, over Nathan Watts, de bassist:
Nathan Watts is an American session bass guitar player, best known for his work with Stevie Wonder from the 1970s to the present.
He has also performed with several other artists, including The Jacksons, whom he played bass for on their "Destiny" and "Triumph" albums.
He is also accomplished on other instruments.
Hij is er idd al heel lang bij.
Iemand die weet wie er allemaal in de band zitten?
Dat vind ik namelijk ook erg interessant, weet niet hoe ik moet zoeken op de band op Google.
Toch ook een beetje een legende

Hier nog meer over hem.
http://www.bassplayer.com(...)nderful/mar-06/18890"There was no rehearsal; we went over a few tunes backstage and we were on. The first two tunes were “Superstition” and “My Cherie Amour,” and I was fine. Then they called “Contusion,” which I’d never heard, and I froze up! I went over and started watching Steve’s left hand and somehow got through it."

Can you describe your basic technique?
I pluck with three right-hand fingers, and I have a heavy touch; I was using two fingers early on with Steve, but the day before we played at Human Kindness Day in Washington D.C., he accidentally closed a cab door on my middle finger, so I had to use the first and third fingers for the concert.
Stevie is known to be quite spontaneous live.
It’s always a challenge; the sets can include anything. That’s why I’ve enjoyed being here so long. While we were rehearsing for the Super Bowl pregame show, Steve tried a tune we hadn’t done in over 20 years. He said, “Nate, remember this?” And it was an unreleased song! The rest of the band was like, Huh? Or he’ll pull out an Ellington or Coltrane cover; he always keeps you guessing. There’s no official list, but I figure I know 80 to 100 songs from his astounding catalog. At this point, we laugh because I know him so well; I know his musical patterns, so I know where he’s going before he goes there. One of the only times he surprised me was on a song we cut that didn’t make it onto the latest CD, A Time to Love. He said, “Nate, I got one for ya.” He played the song, and everywhere I thought he was going, he went in the opposite direction. The progression was very different for him, but it was still Steve; I said, “Whoa, you got me this time.”
Man, ik blijf quoten, ik raad het aan om het te lezen allemaal, echt mooi!
