    To this day Savoy Brown is my favorite band, and I've been following them since Getting To The Point. I would like to see your channel do a what happened to Chris Youlden.

      I'm with you, Bro. The last time I looked, Chris had become more of a pop singer, playing bar lounges. He was a great Blues singer. I wish he could have tolerated Simmonds' long solos, when he would just go off-stage and smoke. I think he may still be around. But Kim Simmonds had a lot of the blame. He treated all his band mates as disposable session musicians. Though he was invited to join Foghat, Youlden declined. And that's too bad since they were far more successful than Savoy Brown in the States. Youlden has been forgotten.

    Just found them for the first time as a 23 year old. Wow were they an awesome band. I hope one day I can create music with half the feeling of savoy or Simmonds.

    Scott "WINO" Weinrich has covered many of their songs. He does a great job with the covers.

    I have beloved songs from every iteration of Savoy Brown.
    One of my favorite bands bc i’m a sucker for British blues rock of that era.
    Sadly, after the blues boom, if you were still playing blues, you were looked at with disdain, as if you were a one trick pony.
    After the three men left SB to form Foghat, Kim Simmonds recruited 3 members of Chicken Shack.
    Several years later, Stan Webb, the lead guitarist and vocalist of Chicken Shack, also joined SB.

      Weirdly, somehow Foghat managed to get lumped in with the Southern Rock bands like The Allman Brothers Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Outlaws, ect.

      Disdain? Really? Then what do you make of Joe Bonamassa? And if you look around a bit, you'll still find thriving Blues clubs all over.

      @@alkholos Yes, at the time. A lot of the bands that were playing blues in the 60s started to experiment with heavier sounds, leading to things like Heavy Metal and Prog. The attitude was very much “Yes, you can play blues, but what else can you do?” Of course this isn’t a fair question because some musicians are just bluesmen through and through. It’s in their heart and soul to play the blues, despite what is popular or profitable.
      Thankfully we have come around to appreciate the bluesmen and their music, but at the time, (70s) they were a bit scoffed at.
      Joe Bonanassa is a hero for keeping the music and memory alive. Namely my two favorite guitarist/ bluesmen Alvin Lee and Rory Gallagher.

      @@daisywrabbit Alvin Lee of Ten Years After? Sorry, I don't think of him as a bluesman. The Sixties great blues bands were among others, the Yardbirds, Cream, Jeff Beck Group, Led Zeppelin, and The Rolling Stones. The last is still, somehow, around and remains capable of filling stadiums. I don't think of The Who, Jethro Tull, Queen, Deep Purple, etc., as blues bands.

    Bob Hall was not a member of the original on road band. He did play on the first album.

    Did you say that Dave Grusin owned GNP Crescendo Records? GNP stands for Gene Norman Productions which is now owned by Gene's son Neil Norman.
