He began singing at age 17, when he realized that he could not live without music. It was only later performances were the opening act for The Rolling Stones and friendship with The Beatles - he won his latest version of their hit «With a Little Help from My Friends». Early in his career he sang songs of Chuck Berry and Ray Charles on the club scene of his native Sheffield.
Then there was the Woodstock Festival and the Conquest of America. There were awards, new album (only 40) and again awards. Long tours around the world and relaxing stay at his home in Colorado. Last bluesman gave a concert in the summer of 2014 in London. All in all, he dedicated the scene more than 50 years. And we are very grateful to him for that - for the excellent sincere music.
"I can not listen to any music, I am always inspired by new music. Not listening to other artists, it is impossible to work on themselves ».
