That's right. Good old Chas Chandler (R.I.P.).

Yeah apologies.

So, best British boxer who looks like he can play a mean guitar?

Not British but for George Benton looks like he should be sat in a bar crooning: "My woman just left me, took my piggy-bank as well".

The Honkytonk man!! ....oh no thats wrestling aye it, I always get them 2 mixed up.

Gordon's alive! ITV2,3 or maybe 4 love showing it. Saw a fat tramp walking around W1 a couple of months ago talking loudly to himself, as he got closer I realised it was Brian Blessed, legend!

you've got to admire my obscure music knowledge as a 23 year old.

You're right, Harry, a talent like Jimi's would definitely have been recognised with or without Chas. He'd already created a bit of a stir as guitarist with the Isley Brothers. He'd started creating his innovative guitar sounds even then. That was when the Isleys were a 3-man (3 brothers) vocal group. They were later joined by 2 more brothers and a brother-in-law who were non-singing musicians. The guitarist, Ernie Isley, was heavily influenced by Hendrix. Listen to tracks like "Summer Breeze".

Yes, Josh, very impressive for a 23 year old. Coincidentally, did you know that The Animals' arrangement of House Of The Rising Son (although credited to Alan Price - a fact disputed by the other band members who feel they should have shared the credit) was based on a previous version by a folk/blues artist called JOSH White!

Bobby Womack was a good guitarist. And a tremendous vocalist too.

I didn't I know its better than the Bob Dylan version though, much like hendrix's version of all allong the watchtower.

It was my understanding that House of the rising sun was origonaly writon from the perspective of a woman though.

gipsies tramps and thieves is a brilliant song. albert collins is a great player. ernie isley plays his butt off on summer breeze (long version). bobby womack is immensely talented. all these comments are proof that the majority of the posters on this forum come close to having the vast musical knowledge that i have accrued over 75 years of listening experience.
