Bass Player: Sara Lee

The B52s always seemed to us to be Talking Heads with with a sense of humour. The tune ‘Love Shack’ is undoubtedly their signature tune and is a guaranteed floor filler at gigs and discos alike. What is less widely acknowledged is how important Sara Lee’s bass line is in the success of the track. English born Lee is not a name that is often mentioned in bass magazines etc but her CV is extensive and enviable. B52s, Gang of Four, Robert Fripp’s League of Gentlemen, Joan Osbourne, Todd Rundgren, Robyn Hitchcock, Ryuichi Sakamoto and many more.
