Sugar Sweet

Sugar Sweet
(Freddie King)
From the Freddie King album Burglar

Radle plays a great boogaloo line on “Sugar Sweet” from Freddie King’s 1974 record Burglar. The bass is crystal clear and very up front in the mix. The rest of the album features a different band, but on this song King’s backing band was Eric Clapton’s band circa 461 Ocean Boulevard: Clapton, Radle, Jamie Oldaker, George Terry, and Dick Sims.

Radle improvises a lot on this song, but the basic groove is below. When the chord changes to F or G, he essentially just transposes this groove.

A full transcription is below.
