A singer, guitarist, harmonica player, and keyboardist, he had a career that spanned nearly seven decades, remaining an active musician until his death aged 90.

    I remember watching John Mayall and the Blues Breakers on one of the late night rock shows in the early 70s. 90 years is what I consider a good run. He was one of the most influencial early rockin' blues artists. Well done, John!

    I actually had a few of his vinyl albums. My parents got really sick of listening to them. I played them really loud (it's a requirement for him).

    He did some good stuff, but he's mostly known for being a stepping stone for other musicians on their way up. Didnt realize he was still around.

    Just a wee dock and doris.

    Ugh! Lauder, one of the great comedians of all time.Ranks with Chaplin and Fields. Who also happened to be one of the great singers of his day (Listen to the richness of that voice). A world-class baritone versus four insects practising the word alright so they would not forget how to use it.

    And yet nobody knows your guy while everyone (including you and your guy) know the Fab Four.
