John launched a lot of careers via The Bluesbreakers and was a legend himself.

John Mayall, the British blues musician whose influential band the Bluesbreakers was a training ground for Eric Clapton, Mick Fleetwood and many other superstars, has died. He was 90.
A statement on Mayall’s Instagram page announced his death, saying the musician died on Monday at his home in California. “Health issues that forced John to end his epic touring career have finally led to peace for one of this world’s greatest road warriors,” the post said.
He is credited with helping develop the English take on urban, Chicago-style rhythm and blues that played an important role in the blues revival of the late 1960s. At various times, the Bluesbreakers included Clapton and Jack Bruce, later of Cream; Fleetwood, John McVie and Peter Green of Fleetwood Mac; Mick Taylor, who played five years with the Rolling Stones; Harvey Mandel and Larry Taylor of Canned Heat; and Jon Mark and John Almond, who went on to form the Mark-Almond Band.

Great concert in OKC in '71. It was the lineup with Larry Taylor and Harvey Mandel.
Opening act was Alice Cooper, a relative unknown at the time. I'm Eighteen was on the radio. He was doing his simulated kill a chicken onstage thing. He stunk. Mayall was PISSED about it when he came on and said so.

I saw the Blues breakers at the Kingfish in ‘79 or ‘80. The drummer was Koko Richardson from New Iberia’

Would have rather seen A.C. at that time.

Seemed ageless for so long, but we all face that final call.

He played the BR bluesfest in early 90s and I got to interview him. He was nice except for chewing me out for pronouncing his name wrong with my southern drawl.
