Don Read ( Dr Funk ) Bass Guitar

 

Don Read ( Dr Funk ) has to be the funkiest bass player in music  

He is the rhythmic definition of R & B and Funk: nary a beat is there that he can’t keep, from the driving bass line of “I Wish” or the sensual hip sway tub thumping of " Brick House”. Cool and confident, content to be  low key and exudes class; indeed, Don Reed is Dr Funk bass player.
