Part 2 about bass player Doug Watkins (1934-1962). He died way too early because of a fatal car accident. During the 7 years he was active in the studios he played an impressive oeuvre together. The Prestige album ‘Soulnik’ from 1960 is very special because he was playing the cello and lavishly threw solos around.
