Rhythm Guitar and vocals: John Lennon, George Harrison, Robert Johnson (slide), Brian Jones, Lead Guitar and vocals: Jimi Hendrix Female backing vocals: Dusty Springefield, Minnie Ripperton, Karen Carpenter (& drums) Male backing vocals: Marvin Gaye (& piano), Otis Redding, Sam Cooke. Lead vocals: Elvis Presley. I don't think it would work but mouthwatering anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith with Sterling Morrision. And I would put Syd Barrett on bass. Maybe a George Harrison and Lennon writing partnership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tchaikovsky comes to mind. Sterling Morrison is good also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brahmburgers Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Put Elvis as the doorman/receptionist, maybe M.C. Sam Cooke as lead singer. He's got more talent and charisma than the others combined. Keith moon was good in context of the Who, but is too noisy to play with any other combo. He'd piss the others off, especially another drummer. Put me on bass, though I'm not dead and have never been famous - yet I'd kick butt fersure, guaranteed.

brahmburgers Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Drums: Buddy RichKeyboards: Billy Preston Rhythm Guitar and vocals: Curtis Mayfield Lead Guitar and vocals: Jerry Garcia Bass Guitar: George Harrison Sorry, can't agree. A cool cat, Jerry was. If he was guitarist/vocalist, you'd have to call it a garage band. I've played better guitar and sang better than Jerry when I had bronchitis and bandaged fingers.

Tilokarat Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Jackie (sp) Wilson is better than Sam Cooke, and has way more charisma. But is he dead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 ... even dead, Jackie Wilson (1934 - 1984) might have more charisma, but Sam C. was surely up there with pure quiet energy a la A Change Is Gonna Come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing as I started it, I will bend the rules and you can be on bass. Agree about Sam Cooke although Marvin Gaye was a bit special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeungKen Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 This line-up would be worth listening to in my imagination :- Gene Krupa - drums Charlie Mingus - bass Django Reinhardt – guitar Andres Sergovia - guitar Stephane Grappelli - violin Thelonious Monk - piano Charlie Parker - saxophone Bix Beiderbecke - trumpet Billy Holiday - vocalist The Inkspots - backing singers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A cool cat, Jerry was. If he was guitarist/vocalist, you'd have to call it a garage band. I've played better guitar and sang better than Jerry when I had bronchitis and bandaged fingers. I agree, played the guitar as if he was plucking a banjo, must go. To replace him, Lowell George on slide and Duane Allman on lead. On vocals, Mr Pitiful himself.

I was thinking more of who might sound really great together. Sometimes artists that are individually masters at their craft can't always bring out the best of the others in the group. I like a good jam and I miss Jerry, but yeah there are many more skilled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbo Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Hello BB -- whatever Jerry lacked in singing or even may have lacked in playing skills... the guy had heart. He was the musical equivalent of Ernie Banks's "It's a beautiful day for a ballgame... Let's play two!" and would play with just about anybody until the janitor turned out the lights. I did have a small personal association with JG, but not worth describing here...and sure, anybody can dream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
