RUSS/RALPH...Bass player on Love Hangover & Dont Leave Me This Way???

[StuBass1]

Question on a bass website I occasionally visit...Who played bass on Diana Ross' Love Hangover and Thelma Houstons Don't Leave Me This Way? Confusion arises because some posters claim Henry Davis [[who passed away last year I believe) played both those tracks. Eddie Watkins Jr personally told me that HE played Love Hangover and DLMTW sounds like Eddie. Scott Edwards and Eddie Watkins Jr BOTH claim Shake Your Groove Thing and Gloria Gaynors I Will Survive [[which I always believed to be Eddie) on their discographys, and to further complicate things, my old friend Tony Newton lists DLMTW on HIS discography. I believe that Russ engineered Love Hangover and possibly DLMTW. Not looking for opinions here based on playing style, but someone who was AT either of those sessions and could give a definitive answer. At least Carol Kaye hasn't claimed those tracks...yet.
