Outside of a couple years in Quicksilver and Jeff Beck, Nicky Hopkins was never in a band. Too busy playing keyboards for all of them. Power play specialist session man.

Power play specialist, love it. Not big on lists but Exile on Main St has been a go to of mine for, well, ever and Loving Cup has always picked me up - great tune.
Boy, Nicky Hopkins was certainly the (monkey) man!
Pretty sure you have posted this before but this tune is Mr. Hopkins at some of his finest.
Also played at Woodstock with the Jefferson Airplane. This video essentially is focused on Jorma Kaukonen but Nicky gets in the frame a few times as the cameraman needs to show Grace Slick standing around and doing nothing more than leaning against the piano.
We both know, but for the uninitiated Edward was the nickname that Brian Jones gave Nicky during their studio jams during Let It Bleed which ended up with this album.

The R&B scene in London was said to begin here, which was Nicky Hopkins first recording in 1963.

It's crazy how interconnected the UK music scene was in the early 60's after evolving from the 1950's skiffle craze. Davies, Korner and Mayall were the leading members of the bands that spawned/spun out so many great musicians.
With 6'7" John Baldry on vocals
A couple tracks from a gem of an album that Long John Baldry released in '71 that was produced by Rod Stewart/Elton John. Ronnie Wood is a pickin' and grinnin'

A nod, which is as good as a wink, to the late great Ian McLagan
Small Faces 1.0
Small Faces 2.0
Izzy Stradlin & the Ju Ju Hounds (Mr McLagan can be heard on this very Stones-esque song hammering away on the Hammond B3)

The song that served as the sample for Geto Boys' 1991 hit "Mind Playing Tricks on Me", I present to you the musical talents of the late great Isaac Hayes.
Never listened to the halftime show he played so I can never associate him with that debacle.

Another 'Mc" from the 60's-70's guitarist Jimmy McCulloch, joined this band backed by Pete Townsend at 15 and hit No. 1 in the UK 1969 with this tune.
Jimmy grew his Wings with Sir Paul and ripped up Juniors Farm. Take me down Jimmy
He co-wrote and performed this with Wings. Sadly it is what took him in 1979 at 26.

I saw Dire Straits back in the day, and Knopfler a few times since. The crowd always roars when he breaks out that resonator guitar, because they know Romeo and Juliet is coming next. My favorite love song of all time.

saw Dire Straits live only one time, terrific show
Actually used a Knopfler/Emmylou Harris tune in our wedding, that album is all pure gold
