Have been listening to The Doors Soft Parade (Runnin Blue,Morrison's tribute to Otis) recently and suddenly realised why I like it....the saxaphone player. I had never bothered checking out who it was playing and a quick google and found it was Curtis Amy.Got me thinking why I like Gimme Shelter by the Stones and of course it is Merry Clayton on backing vocals and released a version of it herself on Ode.Remember in passing someone mentioned a few soul influenced singers on Dark Side Of The Moon.....what part did other soul artists have in shaping rock and name the albums.

the motorhead - eddie holland connection is bizarre, never knew that

It's even more bizarre ........Ian Kilminster (Lemmy)used to follow the British Birds who featured Ronnie Wood. The Birds did a version of Leaving Here for UK Decca which is where he probably where got it from.He then went on to acid head sitar band Sam Gopal.Oh and the drummer out of Motorhead Filthy Taylor was a teenage skinhead.

I'm confused, is that photo lemmy or the motorhead drummer? It doesn't look like lemmy but i'm not sure i know what he looks like before he was burned out on speed.

there was some sam gopal footage on youtube that i found a while ago, did you see it? i had the reissue of the LP when I still cared about rock but never listened to it and gave it away.

Thats the drummer Filthy Animal Taylor.Still got the Sam Gopal LP on Stable....a few more bands Stoneground(best known for appearing in Dracula AD1972 playing Alligator Man) and Black Velvet who were also on UK Beacon.

Bowie's rhythm section post the Spiders from Mars was pretty funky - Dennis Davis drums, George Murray bass and Carlos Alomar guitar.
