Chuck Rainey is a legendary bassist who has left an indelible mark on the world of music. Born in Cleveland, Ohio in 1940, Rainey's career began in the 1960s as a session musician in New York City. He quickly gained a reputation as a versatile and highly skilled bassist, playing on countless recordings across a wide range of genres, from soul and R&B to jazz and rock. Rainey's grooving basslines and impeccable sense of timing have made him a sought-after collaborator for some of the biggest names in music, including King Curtis, Sam Cooke, Etta James, Harry Bellefonte, Al Kooper, The Supremes, Steely Dan, Quincy Jones, Aretha Franklin, and Marvin Gaye. The 'Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame' yearly inducts the legends of Rock music. As of 2003, Chuck Rainey's bass lines and rhythm influence are the documented backbone of the original hit recordings of the following artist and the year they were inducted: Aretha Franklin (1987), Marvin Gaye (1988), The Jackson 5 (1997), The Rascals (2000), Steely Dan (2001). At this time now, no side musician enjoys more legendary honor, prestige, fame or current influence in music.
