John Mayall


 * John Mayall (b.1933) came to fame during the 1960s as leader of John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers, the band which spearheaded the British blues boom in the second half of the decade and provided a platform for numerous instruemntalists who later found fame in other bands - notably lead guitarists Eric Clapton, Peter Green and Mick Taylor. Mayall's Bluesbreakers had chart success with several albums, most notably the 1966 LP Blues Breakers with Eric Clapton, but Mayall's blues purist approach, combined with the constantly changing personnel of his bands, prevented him from achieving pop star status. Nevertheless, he built up a solid following and was able to move to the United States at the end of the 1960s. He subsequently spent much of his career there, continuing to perform with various line-ups and occasionally reviving earlier versions of the Bluesbreakers with musicians from his 1960s groups. A detailed account of his career can be found on Wikipedia.
