JEFF BECK, one of the genuine and pioneering guitar heroes in rock,
was born on 24 June 1944. He would have celebrated his 80th birthday
today.

He started his career with 60s blues beat band The Yardbirds (who also had
Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton in their changing line-ups). In 1967, he formed his
own band The Jeff Beck Group originally with Rod Stewart as the singer and
Ronnie Wood on guitar. The JBG recorded 3 albums.

As a solo artist Beck released 11 LPs with Loud Hailer as the most recent
one that came out in 2016. He also recorded with many other artists.

He passed away last year, on 10 January, aged 78,
after suddenly contracting bacterial meningitis

Beck on the Letterman Show in 1999.

AWESOME!
