Saw Gregg at the Ventura Theater in SoCal mid-80s .. he had a crack band and was right at the top of his game.

Sadly, his last few years of shows were somewhat diminished .. but he still had a nice kick and still attracted all the best musicians.

RIP

... from my town ...


It was in November of 1968, when Wilson Pickett - already a star - showed up at Rick Halls Fame Studio in Muscle Shoals, AL wanting to record, but with no material or ideas.

Duane, who was working for Rick but was not even the main, lead session guitarist, suggested that they cut "Hey Jude", which Rick thought was "the most preposterous thing" he had ever heard and Wilson agreed they would NOT do it.

The Beatles had just recently released it and it was climbing the charts.

But Duane somehow convinced them both it was a good idea because it "was" a Beatles song and it "would" be Number 1.

And, as you hear, it was a GREAT idea. This song sparked the beginning of Duane's future nickname and the formation of ABB.
