We have lost another blues legend. Rest In Peace, composer, bandleader, singer, keyboardist (organ and piano), blues harp harmonica player, and much more, John Mayall. Mayall pioneered the British blues music revival in the 1960s with The Bluesbreakers which was a launchpad for guitar legends Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Walter Trout, and many others.

Here are a couple of songs made famous by Mayall with Clapton on lead guitar. "Hideaway", the cover of Freddie King's instrumental blues guitar classic, and, "Steppin' Out" which Clapton later played also with his power trio Cream with Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker.

Rest In Peace, John Mayall. You will be missed. Your music lives on in the hearts of blues fans, worldwide.
