John Mayall British bishop of blues, how many exceptional musicians were in the Bluesbreakers. Coco, you're one of them.❤❤❤❤

First witnessed him with Walter Trout in the John Mayall bluesbreakers, what a lineup that was 🎸🎸 followed both guitarists when they left both on cd and live ...never disappointed

Coco learned to play guitar while he was the drummer in Albert 'The Iceman' Collins band, The Icebreakers. He used Alberts guitar, strung right handed, and learned to play it even though he is a lefty. Imagine having Albert Collins for your guitar teacher.

Delani Oakes....Yeah very noisy.. people dont listen, except half of it and you and me. John Mayall hated to play in England because of the noise people were making , or complete absence of the audience. He preferred to play in Holland and Germany. Btw Clapton's solo on this song is ten times better....!!!!
@thomasberaldo51809 жыл бұрын
populierendreef What an idiotic statement to say Clapton's solo is ten times better, get off the pop bandwagon, Coco plays from deep inside, Clapton does not have more soul than this man, more popularity but definitely no more soulful playing than Coco. Dude he is playing what's in his heart which makes it perfect, what a DA!!!
