Greg Lake, legendary prog rock bassist (Emerson Lake & Palmer, King Crimson) and one of my favorite vocalists of all time, was born in this day, November 10th, in 1947! Happy Birthday, Greg!
Former Guitarist for the band called Alice Cooper, Glen Buxton, was born on this day, November 10, in 1947. What a shame that Glen isn’t alive to see the entire original band (not just Alice, thank God) inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame later this year.
Marc Bolan, singer and guitarist for T. Rex was born on this day, September 30th, in 1947. At age 29, Marc died tragically in an automobile accident on September 16th, 1977 and is still very much missed. Happy Birthday in Heaven, Marc!

Ian Anderson, singer for Jethro Tull, master flutist and mysterious pixie-man creature was born on this day, August 10th, in 1947! Jethro Tull sure was one of my very favorite bands when I was a teenager. Favorite Jethro Tull albums: Songs from the Wood and War Child. Favorite Jethro Tull Songs: “Teacher,” “Nothing Is Easy” and “Living In The Past,” which is basically my theme song. Happy Birthday, Ian!
