Winwood

Ah, Steve Winwood; if you've not already, Google "blind faith Hyde park" for the 1969 free concert in the park. I really like "Sea of Joy" and it is the spontaneous effort to put this music out for free to the public that made it so special.

Can't Find My Way Home

Sea of Joy

It was also produced by musicians who grew up with music education being much more common than it has been since then.

The poster child for the tragic effects of LSD has to be Peter Green.

There is only one correct answer, Elvis. He will never be equalled as a vocalist and a performer. There’s a magic in his voice that is perfectly pleasing to the human ear, no matter if he’s singing rock, a ballad, blues, country r&b or gospel.

The Beatles all idolized him, Jimi Hendrix’ father took him to an Elvis concert and the next day got him his first guitar.

500 years from now people will still marvel at his voice, his charisma and incredible performances. He’s one in a trillion. Get the Elvis That’s The Way It Is blu-ray and Elvis 56 DVD and you’ll understand.
