(I Know) I’m Losing You
Single release by Motown legends The Temptations in 1966. Peaked at
number 19 in UK Charts and USA number 1 in Billboard’s Hot 100 R&B singles.
Bass performance James Jamerson. Tab by bass50611. I have based my tab on
Jamerson’s original bass line, and although not exact this is how I would
play it on stage. More of a simplified version.
