If you do not know the significance of Klaus Voorman in the story of "The Beatles" then you are not a true Beatles fan. He was there before they became famous and he was still there with them after they disbanded. He was a wonderful musician and a fantastic Bass player. He was the Bass player on many of the solo recordings released by all the members of The Beatles after the band broke up.

Klaus Voorman is a great artist and there is no arguing about that, but let's not forget his stellar career in the music business: as a bass player, he played with Manfred Mann, a couple of performances with the Hollies, then on the best solo albums by John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr (basically all their legendary 1970s output, including "John Lennon\Plastic Ono Band", "Imagine", "All things must pass", "Concert for Bangladesh" , "Ringo", etc.), as a session man recorded with Carly Simon ( "You're so vain"), Harry Nillson, Lou Reed (Klaus played in "Transformer", Reed's most well-known album), and he produced Trio's "Da da da" a worldwide smash hit in 1981. Not bad, eh?

I still have my 1966 copy of Revolver I bought at age 9. The album was a little advanced for a 9 yo but I loved yellow submarine, I already had several 45s like Hard Days Night. The Beatles were fabulously famous back then, Ive seen no one reach their level of fame since. Kids at elementary school wore Beatle boots and had Beatle lunch boxes. I had a brown paper bag

I wonder if, had he lived, Stu would've eventually evolved to re-visit music as a side gig to his painting. Given the very avant-garde influences Astrid and Klaus would've continued to expose him to, it feels good to imagine Stu making artsy music that maybe would've been pre-cursors to early Bowie and Roxy Music . . .
