Paul was 68. Paul was frequently singled out for the flawless and tasteful tone of his Rickenbacker 4001 and Fender P bass guitars on ARS&#8217;s string of hit singles, which began in 1977 and included &#8220;So in to You,&#8221; &#8220;Imaginary Lover,&#8221; &#8220;I&#8217;m Not Gonna Let It Bother Me Tonight,&#8221; &#8220;Do It Or Die&#8221; and a remake of the Classics IV&#8217;s &#8220;Spooky.&#8221; Rolling Stone magazine voted his bass solo on &#8220;Another Man&#8217;s Woman,&#8221; from the 1978 ARS live album &#8220;Are You Ready&#8221; as one of the top five bass solos of all time.  <!--more-->  <br \/> He had retired from touring in the mid-80s, but returned to the band in 2011. He still loved to play on road, actually more now than when the band was at its peak.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/a\/a7\/Atlanta_Rhythm_Section_1977.JPG\/220px-Atlanta_Rhythm_Section_1977.JPG\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p> &#8220;I knew Paul when he was a guitarist, and maybe that&#8217;s why his bass playing was so musical,&#8221; singer Rodney Justo said. &#8220;And to go with that musicality was a unique sound that made him so identifiable to fans and other musicians as well. Yes, at one time he was &#8216;that big fat guy that played bass,&#8217; but once he started playing, he wasn&#8217;t fat. He was a giant.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Source: Atlanta Rhythm Section<br \/>Photo Credit: AllMusic<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The members of the Atlanta Rhythm Section are sad to announce that Paul Goddard, our&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4318","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4318","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4318"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4318\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4318"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4318"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4318"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
