gvopedz Posted yesterday at 06:55 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 06:55 PM He helped shape classic songs by the Rolling Stones, the Who and the Beatles but his influence on music has been largely ignored…In some cases, he didn’t get proper financial compensation either. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2024/nov/06/nicky-hopkins-pianist-rolling-stones-who-beatles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.D. Posted yesterday at 07:25 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 07:25 PM (edited) Thanks for the link. Always enjoyed his session work a lot and wondered why he wasn't better known. Never heard of anything as a leader, so I researched his bio online some years ago. Edited yesterday at 07:26 PM by T.D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
