Stevie Ray Vaughan

Stevie Ray Vaughan was a Grammy Award-winning blues musician. As one of few blues artists to break into the mainstream in the '80s, he became an influential guitarist throughout the world. Vaughan has become a regular in "Best Guitarists Ever" polls, including being named the seventh greatest guitarist of all time by Rolling Stone magazine in 2003.

Stevie Ray Vaughan grew up playing blues guitar, and in the late '70s formed Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble with Chris Layton (drums) and Tommy Shannon (who replaced Jackie Newhouse on bass in 1981). Vaughan turned down an offer to tour with David Bowie to focus on his own band, and his debut release Texas Flood became a hit record behind the single "Pride and Joy." As the band continued to release albums and tour, Vaughan fell into a downward spiral of cocaine addiction and alcoholism until he was near death.

Although he made a full recovery from his addictions and became an advocate for sobriety, Stevie Ray Vaughan died accidentally when the helicopter he was riding in crashed into the side of a mountain on August 27, 1990.

After working his way up to the position, Emerick engineered the 1966 number one UK Manfred Mann hit Pretty Flamingo."CNN.com - The teenager who shaped the Beatles - Apr 7, 2006". CNN Emerick took over the Beatles engineering duties from Smith that same spring at the request of producer George Martin when Smith became a producer. The first album Emerick worked on with the Beatles as their main recording engineer under Martin was Revolver, and "Tomorrow Never Knows" was the first track he worked on.

It was Emerick's innovation to record John Lennon's vocal through a Leslie speaker on that song, to get the ethereal sound Lennon wanted. He received Grammy Awards for the engineering of Sgt ...
