I gather this person was a formative part of your young life, but for those of us who don't reminisce about long dead musicians, would you mind explaining who this person is and why he's worth a topic?

For a long time an almost lone blues voice in a wilderness of dross.
Very sad waste.

Jeff Healey in duet in that video, another who died too soon. Unbelievable talent, even SRV backs off in that one.

Ignore the youngsters - they probably get off on Z factor or Englands got flatulence.

Ah, got quite a bit of SRV myself and some of his brother Jimmie Vaughan's stuff too.
I do like what he did with Hendrix's Little Wing and Voodoo Chile (as featured in Blackhawk Down as they board the choppers shouting "Irene! F*ck yea!")
Another classic is his live performance of Riviera Paradise.
How quick 20 years has passed... whoah!

I'm a young'un, but SRV was a great guitarist and singer, definitely worthy of a thread. A real shame, one of the people I'd loved to have seen live, but will never have the chance.
