"Sweet" Charles Sherrell (born March 8, 1943) is an American bassist known for recording and performing with James Brown.
Born in Nashville, Tennessee, Sherrell began his career playing drums with fellow Nashville residents Jimi Hendrix and Billy Cox, practicing at a club a block from Hendrix's residence. Sherrell learned to play the guitar by washing the car (a Jaguar) of Curtis Mayfield in exchange for guitar lessons. Sherrell soon began teaching himself to play the bass after buying one from a local pawn shop for $69, which led him to join Johnny Jones & The King Kasuals Band, Aretha Franklin's backing group.
Sherrell joined James Brown's band in August 1968 and played on some of Brown's most famous recordings of the late 1960s, including the No. 1 R&B hits "Say It Loud - I'm Black and I'm Proud", "Mother Popcorn", and "Give It Up or Turnit a Loose". In the 1970s, Sherrell rejoined Brown and performed with The J.B.'s. He later played with Al Green and Maceo & All the King's Men. He also released some recordings under the name Sweet Charles, including his first solo album, Sweet Charles:

pretty good, though I'd sub Jack Bruce for John Entwistle, and McCartney deserves honorable -- no, honourable -- mention for being the most melodic bassist ever.
in my opinion, having played in a number of bands as a drummer, the bassist is the most important musician on the stand.

Lots of great ones listed for sure...
One I've always loved listening to is Eddie Gomez. Technical/lyrical/percussive master.
Here's a fantastic group doing a reunion show for Chick Corea's Three Quartets Album. All 'round fantastic!
