My Take
Guy Pratt is one of those musicians whose name most people never learn, yet whose playing they have heard a thousand times. As the bassist who toured with Pink Floyd and laid down low end for Madonna, Michael Jackson and countless others, he has built a career on being indispensable rather than famous. I admire that kind of artistry deeply: the discipline to serve the song instead of chasing the spotlight. That he later turned raconteur, writing and performing his own memoir, only proves the wit behind the groove. To me he embodies the unsung craftsman whose steadiness is the real foundation of pop history.
