“Cover” Notes
Bass legend Leland Sklar was part of the studio musician ensemble for this recording.

Except for the chorus I am improvising so this is not a traditional cover.

The song (drums especially) takes on a harder, tribal, almost warpath sound towards the end and really builds from its softer initial verse. It was my intention to capture that escalation on bass.


The Song:

• Gypsy Woman" is a 1961 rhythm and blues song written by Curtis Mayfield and recorded by his group the Impressions.

• In 1970, Brian Hyland recorded the hit version of the song, produced by Del Shannon, which went up to Number 3 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.

Brian Hyland:
• Hyland was born in Woodhaven, Queens, New York City.

• In August 1960, Hyland scored his first and biggest hit single, at the age of 16, "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini". On July 5th 1946, the bikini bathing suit made its debut at a fashion show at the Piscine Molitor (a public pool in Paris, France)...

It was the creation of Louis Reard, who named it after Bikini Atoll in the Pacific Ocean...
