Did you know that the last known LIVE recording of Jimi Hendrix was August 16, 1970 at Ronnie Scott's Club, 47 Frith Street, London, England when he sat in with Eric Burdon and War?

I have a recording of this show.

...that Cream's "Crossroads" by Robert Johnson was actually a cover. The exact same key riff and arrangement was recorded by "Eric Clapton & the Powerhouse" featuring Stevie Winwood on vocals and harp 4 years before.

Now, that I did know.

Did you know that Chuck Berry wrote "Johnny B Goode" for rhythm and blues pianist, Johnnie Johnson, who was always late for gigs?

Andy White, who played drums on The Beatles' track "Love Me Do", which was included on the Beatles Greatest Hits album, did not earn any money in royalties from it.

He only received his original session fee of £7 ($14 US), which is not even enough for him to buy his own copy of the album.
