Hard to believe he's been going for 65 years - BTW I've just learned that Bobby Whitlock passed last week - sad news.
ReplyDeleteHi Dr Robert.
DeleteIt really is remarkable that for 65 years his music still resonates deeply. Stevie’s journey is one of those rare musical odysseys that rarely loses its spark.
And thank you for sharing the news about Bobby Whitlock. That is indeed sad. He’ll be remembered fondly. R.I.P.
Cheers.
thank you 4 this betterboy
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Aussie.
DeleteCheers.
Thanks BB. Music just flowed out of his fingertips!
ReplyDeleteHi lemonflag.
DeleteWith Stevie, it’s as if melody and meaning just poured straight from his soul to his fingertips.
This set really captures that magic, early gems, live sparks, and the ripple effect of his influence.
Cheers.
