Savoy Brown was always just “background noise” to me during its heyday — just another British blues band in a sea of similar groups. It wasn’t until the 1990s that I actually sat down and listened to them. Boy, what I’d been missing. RIP, Kim Simmonds. #music #blues #kimsimmonds #savoybrown. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/20/arts/music/kim-simmonds-dead.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

#KimSimmonds, a Key Figure in the British #Blues Movement, Dies at 75

"(He) changed the band’s lineup often""...in 1970...he got rid of all the other members — who then went on to form a more successful band, Foghat. "...more than 60 musicians played (as) Savoy Brown.

I don’t want to stand still,” “Once I’ve climbed a mountain, I want to climb another. If a band weren’t willing to do that, I would get another band.” #SavoyBrown #FogHat

Sad to hear of Kim Simmonds death. His band, Savoy Brown, were one of the groups who spearheaded the British Blues invasion of the USA in the 60s. RIP Kim. #BritishBlues #Blues #Music #KimSimmonds #SavoyBrown #RIP https://bluesmatters.com/kim-simmonds-1947-2022/

I've been collecting records since I was about 11 years old (over 40 years) and of course I've seen Savoy Brown in the bins, but had never listened until (of course) learning that their main member, Kim Simmonds, had just passed away. Getting To The Point is a *tasty* album. And I'll probably be listening to their stuff for the rest of the day.
