James Jamerson -
James Jamerson is synonymous with Motown. Jamerson wrote the melodic syncopated bass lines for hits such as The Temptations’ 'My Girl,' Gladys Knight’s 'I Heard It Through the Grapevine,' and Marvin Gaye’s 'What’s Going On.' Jamerson had a rather unique technique, where he used just his index finger to pluck the strings, which he called "the hook."
