Curtis Knight and The Squires (with hendrix) - hornets nest

Rocks!


Jimi stands out like dogs bollix as he did but took alot of his vocal stylings from this man and got his first kicks in this band of a few, also played with legendary Isley Brothers who continue to record currently who also feature on this blog elsewhere from classic! way back but Curtis also tryed to rip him off as it were contractually and Curtis Knight moved to England when Jimi did to capitalise on his career, just showing he was a wise man in the cutthroat, specially being a black musician from a country with essentially no social welfare system(usa da)as the record industry often paid them nothing at all and took all profits like loan sharks for 'services rendered'. Curtis also gave the first chops to a member of Motorhead so wot a skool it was, recognise and bow to Jimi.
