I used to play Chopper Command on an Atari 2600 with my feet... that's as close as I'll ever get..

I see Sly made it, but this didn’t?

Luther Vandross - For The Sweetness Of Your Love
Played by Marcus Miller
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTsGsBDiGGg
Great line with Miller's bass in unison with a moog'ish sound.

Jones Girls - Nights Over Egypt
Played by Steve Green
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzxwZ6wjDAM

Gwen Guthrie - (They Long To Be) Close To You
Played by unknown
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0VWo8g5Y_o
It's the infamous DX7 bass patch and even though it is the classic Bacharach/David composition, Guthrie's take is very different from the original.

Honorable mentions:
Temptations - Papa Was a Rolling Stone
Miles Davis - So What
Aurra - You And Me Tonight

The Guthrie bass might also be from the Synclavier.
