Great keyboard player. Amazing work with Todd Rundgren and Utopia.

No wonder where Stevie got that groove from.

Freddie had a huge influence on many guitarists, and no one more so than Stevie. Love the Texas Blues sound, and those two were among the best. Albert Collins, Lightnin' Hopkins, T-Bone Walker. It's a great list.
