Doug Wimbish - Living Colour's Touch And Feel
Jimmy Leslie, December 01, 2009

"BASSES ARE LIKE microphones,” says Doug Wimbish. “What sounds good in one player’s hands can sound like crap in another’s. Everything depends on exactly what you put into it.” Wimbish is a master of touch, and he uses a wealth of techniques to yield the rich tone that he’s applied to practically every style of music in his three-decade session career.
The journeyman bassist’s excursions cut across an especially broad stylistic swath. He was in the Sugar Hill Records house band that pioneered hip-hop on tracks such as Grandmaster Melle Mel’s “White Lines.” He went on to record with classic rock royalty including Jeff Beck and Mick Jagger. And although he wasn’t in the original lineup of Living Colour (Muzz Skillings played bass), Wimbish was directly involved in the band’s breakout success during the late ’80s.

December 6, 2009 - One of the most recognizable guitar riffs recorded in America belongs to Living Colour. The band's 1988 hit "Cult of Personality" regularly makes "100 Greatest Songs Ever Written" lists and won the group Grammy Awards. But what made Living Colour unique was that all of its members were black in a genre — hard rock — dominated by white musicians.
