Jeff Beck died last Wednesday, Jan 10th, at age 78 / The Yardbirds performed in Michelangelo Antonioni's late 1966 film "Blowup".

Supposedly, the group Tomorrow was also considered. / Click on the Link above, left, to read an article about this subject.

Jeff Blackburn died Jan 6th, at age 77. He started out in the folkie male/ female duo "Blackburn & Snow" (Sherry Snow). // ORIGIN of this song: Young's collaborations with Devo and, in particular, Mark Mothersbaugh. 1977, Devo had been asked by Young to participate in the creation of his film, "Human Highway", and a scene in the film shows Young playing the song in its entirety with Devo (with Mothersbaugh changing a lyric about "Johnny Rotten" to "Johnny Spud").
Jeff Beck died last Wednesday, Jan 10th, at age 78 / "Classic Rock" magazine ranked the album "Truth" eighth on its list of the 30 greatest British blues rock albums // * - Led Zeppelin recorded it shortly after, on their debut album from Jan 1969; Beck subsequently said he was unhappy about Led Zeppelin copying his arrangement.
Jeff Beck died last Wednesday, Jan 10th, at age 78. // They first recorded this with an Indian sitar player performing the distinctive instrumental figures. However, they were dissatisfied with the results, so Beck played it on electric guitar to emulate the sitar. Music writers have identified Beck's contribution as introducing Indian-influenced guitar stylings to rock music - one of the earliest examples of what became known as "raga rock". Beck's use of a fuzz box has also been cited as perhaps the first significant use of the effect.
