Reply to A soldier of the French Resistance in 1944 by lewis7897

I was staring at this picture and was checking out his uniform and his weapon, even his cap and what he was smoking and out of nowhere the theme song for "A-Team" started playing in my head....

I can't NOT hear it now....

Reply to comment by teeyodi in Jeff Beck working up a sweat in 1971. RIP dude. by foofoofum

He was sometimes “under the radar” compared to the bigger names in music, but made some pop single appearances, such as Bon Jovi’s “Blaze of Glory,” Tina Turner’s “Private Dancer,” and several songs by Rod Stewart (his former bandmate) on “People Get Ready,” and “Infatuation.”

His work with The Yardbirds in the 1960’s covered some well-known tunes, such as “Over, Under, Sideways, Down.” Later, he had a few hits and many albums under his own name. His early Jeff Beck Group released “Beck’s Bolero,” “You Shook Me,” and “I Ain’t Superstitious.” Later, he did mostly instrumental work with George Martin producing, such as the song, “Superstition,” which Stevie Wonder wrote with Beck in mind, but later released himself. He also collaborated with Jan Hammer, Les Paul, Roger Waters, Imelda May, Chrissie Hynde, and Stevie Ray Vaughan among others.

Not known to all music fans, but appreciated by those who found his approach to music engaging.
