1. Don't try to lay no boogie-woogie |
|
on the king of Rock and Roll!
He gave so many their starts - Elton John, Rod Stewart and Julie Driscoll, among many others, worked in his 1960s bands. He was a literal (6'7") giant of the British Blues era.
RIP Long John :(

He was one of the greats. What a shame they all seem to die so young. "Don't try to lay no boogie-woogie on the king of rock 'n' roll."
:cry:

3. "I set the gaze a-straight, and the straits are clear" |

One of my earliest misheard lyrics, from "A Thrill's a Thrill".
RIP, LJB.

4. Only 64? I had though he was older than that. What a bummer. |
