Born today in 1946 - Duane Allman, the brutally talented original guitarist of the Allman Bros. (died in 1971 in a motorcycle crash). "I remember hearing 'Hey Jude' by Wilson Pickett and calling either Ahmet Ertegun or Tom Dowd and saying, 'Who's that guitar player?'" said Eric Clapton. It turns out that guitar player was a 22-year-old guitarist named Duane Allman, aka "Skydog." "I just filed it away," Clapton adds. "To this day, I've never heard better rock guitar playing on an R&B record. It's the best." Duane Allman went on to play with Eric Clapton on Derek and the Dominoes' Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs 2 years later. - www.youtube.com
