Jemmott began playing the acoustic bass when he discovered Paul Chambers at age 10. Jemmott began his career by age 12, and after switching to the electric bass, was discovered by saxophonist King Curtis in 1966. With his connection through Curtis to Atlantic Records, Jemmott was soon recording with other Atlantic recording artists, including Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, Wilson Pickett, The Rascals, Roberta Flack and Margie Joseph.
