The roots of modern music are indeed interesting and also intertwined, especially when you expand beyond 'rock 'n' roll' into other genres e.g the late Curtis Mayfield's influence on reggae musicQuote:

"I once saw him change a string without stopping a song. I still think that just for that alone there should be a monument to him." - Johnny Marr.
Or when someone asked Jimi Hendrix what it was like to be the greatest guitarist in the world he replied: "I don't know. Ask Rory Gallagher."

Graham, do you read Mojo magazine, or look at their website? Interesting article in last or latest edition about the Rolling Stones. Rory Gallagher got a mentionQuote:

It was Moby. I gather he is a popular musical artist?
So never let it be said I don't have street cred. I'm not just about Sun records you know!
The whole of the Elvis is Back LP on which RB is on is grossly underrated, there are some cracking tracks and some good sax work by King Curtis on a number of tracks.Quote:

Totally agree. "Like a Baby" for one. What is staggering is that the LP only got to #2 in Billboard and was kept off #1 spot by the Kingston Trio.Quote:
