Jimmy Recca (born 1953)[1] is an American musician known as a former bass player in The Stooges[2] via an incarnation that existed from early 1971 until their first break-up on July 9, 1971.
After a brief period of non-musician roadies filling the vacant bass player slot in The Stooges, James Williamson brought in Recca, who replaced original Stooges bassist Dave Alexander.
This line-up featured Recca on bass supporting both Ron Asheton and James Williamson on twin lead guitars.
The band featured ex-MC5 drummer Dennis "Machine Gun" Thompson, former Stooges keyboardist Scott Thurston, and various other Detroit veterans.
