(Just a little bit, yeah)

Just a touch of love, a little bit
Just a touch, love
Just a touch of love, a little bit
Just a touch, love

Make me shine just a little bit, just a little bit
(With just a touch of love)
It's in my mind just a little bit, just a little bit
(You got to)
Keep me high, baby, just a little bit, just a little bit
(With just a touch of love)
Can we spend some time?
(Can we spend some time?)

Just a touch of love, a little bit
Just a touch, love
Just a touch of love, a little bit
Just a touch, love

Just a touch of your love, all the time, soothes my mind
Just enough of your love, soothes my mind, keeps me high
Just a touch of your love, all the time, soothes my mind
Just enough of your love, soothes my mind, keeps me high

Just a touch of love, a little bit
Just a touch, love
Just a touch of love, a little bit
Just a touch, love

Need it now just a little bit, just a little bit
(With just a touch of love)
Makes me sound, baby, just a little bit, just a little bit
(You got to)
Send fire through my spine just a little bit, just a little bit
(With just a touch of love)
Can we spend some time?
(Can we spend some time?)

Just a touch of love, a little bit
Just a touch, love

Just a touch of your love, all the time, soothes my mind
Just enough of your love, soothes my mind, keeps me high
Just a touch of your love, all the time, soothes my mind
Just enough of your love, soothes my mind, keeps me high

Just a touch of love, a little bit
Just a touch, love
Just a touch of love, a little bit
Just a touch, love

Make me shine just a little bit, just a little bit
(With just a touch of love)
It's in my mind, baby, just a little bit, just a little bit
(You got to)
Keep me high just a little bit, just a little bit
(With just a touch of love)
Can we spend some time?
(Can we spend some time?)

Just a touch of your love, all the time, soothes my mind
Just enough of your love, soothes my mind, keeps me high

Sorry, that's total BS

With today's Bass VST instruments with multiple velocity layers and such, you can totally duplicate this sound.

That is NOT to say that playing instruments etc is not to be valued etc as I agree the today's pop music has gone down the tube.

However, to say this can't be duplicated on a computer is categorically false.

To reiterate:I agree with the general sentiment here, especially re:autotune etc...

But if one wanted to make a recording with a bassline like this, they could..

The problem would come if they wanted to play it live.

Ladies and gentlemen this is pure soul/funk no additives just great musicians and vocalists doing it right, no vocoders or tweaking. Oh to be back in 1979 again 🕺👌.
