Avoiding The Swan Song
The Stones were at the spearhead really as far as Brit blues bands go, the look, the attitude all part and parcel I reckon.

Avoiding The Swan Song
The Yardbirds taking over from The Stones as house band at the Crawdaddy. Their sound is a must for British Blues fans.
And then along comes Jeff.

^^ Great band Joe .. Taylor and May are still going strong and I think Dick Taylor may have been offered a part in the early Stones line up ??
Ya, Sox, Dick Taylor was the original bassist for the Stones. He left the band(can't remember the reason why, I think to go back to school) and then he and Phil May hooked up with Taylor now playing guitar and formed the Pretties.

Another band Joe the Spencer Davies Group from Birmingham with Muff and Steve Winwood.
I think Steve grabbed the attention of quite a few top rated musos with his soulful voice.

Sox, didn't Stevie get tagged as the white Ray Charles by the British media back then? Something along that line anyway.
Big fan of his days with Spencer Davis and Traffic. I do have one of his solo albums, Arc Of The Diver. It's been a hell of a long time since I've listened to it. I remember at the time, I think it was 1980 or there abouts and he had a couple of hits off the album. Also, I remember the production and sound quality was one of the best I heard at that time. I like Steve but I like Muff a lot more.
Manfred Mann was another alumni from Graham Bond and formed the band in which his name was tagged and featured the great vocalist David Jones. "Do Wah Diddy Diddy" was a big hit in '64.
The band went onto a long career. I was never a big fan but do have few pieces of vinyl from them. Solar Fire is one that stands out for me. Fairly prog driven.

Yes I think I share the fondness for Muff Joe. 
Yeah Manfred Mann with Tom McGuinness who played guitar with Eric Clapton in the Roosters and I think Jack Bruce had a spell with Manfred too.
Joe wasn't the singer Paul Jones .. him and Tom are now in The Blues Band with Dave Kelly ?
Anyway some more Manfred Mann ..

Hey Sox, I totally forgot about the Roosters. It's all coming back now. I think you are right about Jack Bruce. I don't know The Blues Band but the name Dave Kelly sounds familar. Brother or husband of blues vox Jo Ann Kelly. Maybe(?).
