I've read about Alexis Korner (cause of his association with Rolling Stone) but didn't hear anything by him till Collective Consciousness Society. I love both E.C. and John Mayal, but I'm not in any way crazy about the Beano album.
I always thought The Spencer Davis Group had one of the coolest songs ever from the 60s with
I'm a Man. I don't know much about him personally, but I always respected him for his music. Sad to hear about him passing away.
I like to think he lives on in film, and on youtube. The Spencer Davis Group was on "Pop Gear" and "The Ghost Goes Gear"(which I haven't seen yet). Hearing Midnight Special a thousand times by CCR I can't help but think this SDG version sounds very English. They sound like a Skilffle band imitating The Beatles imitating Carl Perkins imitating Chet Atkins as they (SDG) do their cover of a CCR song. No disrespect to any of those artists/bands.
The Spencer Davis Group - Midnight Special
