"Beck, Bogert & Appice"...Superstition

After writing the song Wonder offered it to Beck to record, but at the insistence of his own manager Wonder himself recorded it first. Beck was instead offered "Cause We've Ended As Lovers," which he recorded on Blow by Blow in 1975. Jeff Beck played guitar on "Talking Book" and later recorded his own version of "Superstition" as a part of Beck, Bogert & Appice.

Shaky vid but it tells the story. Man...the memories.

They were supposed to form Beck, Bogert, Appice, and (Rod) Stewart in 1970, but Beck got in a car accident and Bogert and Appice teamed with Jim McCarty-—a terrific guitar player but not Beck-—and Rusty Day, a horrible “singer” to form Cactus. Although Cactus had a great niche as a boogie band, the absence of vocals condemned them to never having a hit. When they broke up around 1975, Bogert and Appice joined with Beck in their one album (which never jelled).
