Imagine 1966 I was 14 years old, discovering girls, liked the Stones, beatles were ok for light songs and a friend of my girl at the time said , hey , why dont you listen to John Mayall? I had no idea, went to my local music shop and they had four or five of his albums, not mainstream by any means. Five dollars over the counter and I was hooked for life. Completely destroyed me for any other type of music. Bought the remaining albums and just dug the hell out of them. No one else at the time shared any interest at all in his music. Still love it all today, Still got all the albums and listen to them every now and then.Great docco on his life . Thanks for posting.

My band opened for John Mayall 3 years ago in Southern California. I had a chance to talk to John backstage during sound check. The guy is a legend and is so humble it was hard to believe. He's truly historic when it comes to Blues. John still setup his own keyboard at 86 years old. What a guy. He gave so many guitarists a chance to become known it's hard to remember them all. I have so much respect for John. Long Live The Blues Los Angeles

As a young lad ,used to have my ear glued to the Dansette record player trying to pick out John Mcvies bass lines, now in my seventies and still knocking out the brilliant stuff he created with the Bluesbreakers!

Playing with John in 1974 was amazing. We toured Europe, Asia, Australie and New Zealand.

Always Loved his Artwork on his Guitars and the back of his Piano/Organs…

My brother had John Mayall's "Turning Point", and I loved "California"! That's where I wanna be - in a blues bar of course!

Grew up listening and respecting John mayall

John Mayall has been my guide to the blues since the 60s Him and his musicians have had such an influence on me and thousands of others. I love him and just about everything he has done but let us not forget Alexis Korner who was one of THE originators in the UK.

What a great video. It filled in many gaps of my knowledge of Mayall and his many artists he nurtured. He is one of a kind and his like won't be seen again for a long, long time.
