      Mark King is not or ever has been underrated. The band is Jazz Funk so it's music base is much narrower but is accessable for those with a discernable ear, but never underrated. This word along with RIP should be banned on UA-cam, as it's always misused.

      People keep using this underrated quote. Underrated by who? He's not underrated, in the 80s in the UK he was one of the best bass players around, in demand. He's had his career they're getting old, New people coming through all the time. It's the natural passage of time and life.

    Despite there huge success, hits, and talent, I always thought Level 42 were vastly underappreciated.
    Mark is an absolute Legend in the Bass Community and Mike has one of the most incredible voices around.
    Lately, there seems to be a huge resurgence and interest in the band, I hope it continues because it deserves too.

      Darren Lee I’ve been a big fan since the World Machine album. My buddy and I saw the original lineup (Mark, Mike, Boon & Phil) open for Steve Winwood at Madison Square Garden, and saw them again three times in August 1987. We even had the pleasure of meeting them both before the show and then backstage afterwards. They will forever be one of my favorite bands!!

      Darren Lee the only time they came to the U.S. after the time I saw them in 1987 was in 2010 for the 30th Anniversary tour. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to see them then when they came back to New York. They haven’t been back here since because it’s not financially feasible for them to do so. At this point I don’t think that they’ll ever come back here😞😞

    Level 42 has always been one of my favorite bands. I saw them live in the 80's and they outshined Steve Winwood.

      I think you are confusing well-known/notorious/famous with underrated.
      I think that nearly every bass player knows Mark King. Until today I was only able to find one bass player that didn't know Mark King.
      Then again you can find lists of "best bass players" and barely/never see his name pop up. I guess those guys that write articles like "top 50 best bass players of all time" and forget Mark King should be fired because clearly missed a milestone in 50 years of bass.

Top five bass player of all time in Mark King, dual vocals off the charts and drumming to beat. LOL.

Not that he isn't a fantastic drummer, but after years of Pete's insanity, it's really cool to see that Gary was still able to blaze through an awesome fill (along with Nathan's sweet guitar work leading up to Gary's fill). Such a great recording, best I've seen from the best, just in terms of production quality. They were playing like they had one take for an album.
