I cannot think of ANY British groups, rock or anything else, before Lonnie. There were lots after him and he must be given the credit for inspiring youngsters to get a guitar. I think ALL major British groups agree Lonnie started them off.
Van Morrison is such a hero in the music world to bring back Donnie and put a spotlight on it not the first time Van Morrison's is done that you're such a hero in the music world
For me, Lonnie should have been the star of this film but I felt that, although Ronnie was very respectful, Ivan Morrison had decided that he was the big noise in this one. I do appreciate that judicious editing may have created this illusion, but Van's reputation does, after all, go before him. RIP Lonnie - a true, if not properly recognised, great.
I love this. Thanks for sharing. RIP Lonnie

Lonnie was great, biggest influence in the UK during the 50s and 60s, so many groups owe him a debt.
Lonnie wrote alot of top hit records for other artists and also wrote world cup willy .Huge underated star

Does anybody else wonder how the fook Van Morrison sells a single record.
He has a system, he doesn't sell singles, he only sells his records by the million. 😉
