Happy Birthday Rick Grech
Rick Grech is best known for his bass guitar, cello and violin work with some of my favorite bands, Blind Faith and Traffic.
He was born November first, 1946 in Bordeaux, France, and died at age 43 in March of 1990. Rock and roll history places him in very good company in the sixties and seventies.
Family 1965 - 1969
Blind Faith 1969 with Steve Winwood, Eric Clapton & Ginger Baker
Ginger Baker’s Air Force 1969 - 1970
Traffic 1970 - 1971 with Winwood, Jim Capaldi, Chris Wood, Dave Mason, Jim Gordon & Rebop Kwaku Baah
KGB 1974
Video: “Sea of Joy” Blind Faith in Hyde Park 1969 with Rick Grech on bass guitar
“The Last Five Years” is a single LP retrospective on RSO Records that was released in 1973, which featured 9 songs from the extraordinary career of Rick Grech. “Sea Of Joy” and “Rock & Roll Stew” being two of my favorites here.
