Fontella Bass – Rescue Me (1965) Fontella Bass 1965 Rescue me Did you know that... During the recording, Bass forgot the lyrics at a few points. Back in the 1960s, it would have been difficult to stop the recording while the tape was rolling, so she did what she’d learned from gospel and sang “ummm, ummm, ummm”.
