Wow, I didn't know this. I haven't checked any music news recently. I learned of him originally by reading about Jimmy Page's early session career and a general interest in 60's British pop and rock music. That's really too bad. R.I.P. Big Jim.

yeah just heard myself BassPaulL, one of those guys always in the background eh, heard his name mentioned lots of times too...mentions a bit about Jimmy Page on his webpage

Yeah, I've been to his website before. It is linked from Shel Talmy's site. They all recorded a bunch of tracks for pretty much everybody over there.

I didn't remember this musician John. Thank you for posting the links, Big Jim Sullivan was really big in the music business. R.I.P. Jim.

I am totally ashamed after reading the wiki Bio that I am unfamiliar with this guitarist..after reading the Bio I see absolutely no reason to not know! It truly is a bad year for some top musicians this year. Thank you for the post and for educating me!

Sorry to read this! RIP Big Jim! Him and Page were the guys with the guits as far as session work, back in the 60s, over there in England.
