A wonderful artist whose legacy is still heard today, - my son and his class of about 15 kids have been learning "Alright Now" over the last few weeks so as to play it to an audience next Saturday, - my son is playing the solo and an adaptation of the chorus base line over the others, - great to see youngsters starting out on their musical journey so engaged by one of the musical greats.

Try and get your son to listen to the extended version of The Stealer

Aye, truly a very sad waste of PURE Raw talent. The music and the talent still lives on.

One of the things that attracted me to JB was his amazing bent note vibrato- it is the nearest I have ever heard to Kossoff- who many (me included) believe was the best of all time in that regard.

I was going to post the same Roger, always remember him on this date. I remember hearing the news listening to Radio Luxembourg under the covers.............

I can't say enough what a huge Free fan I am. Each individual for me was beyond brilliant. These were 4 mates that magically ended in the right group together.
I just had to post this right now, because this is what I am currently listening to. Each members talent went beyond Free. And this is one of the beautiful compositions that will forever endure him in my heart as one of the greatest guitarists ever. I guess he touches my soul because it came from his heart.
He is one of the very few musicians that can actually make me cry. And with this he does.
Thank you for this beautiful song.

It just doesn't get much better than that.
There are so many guitarists that move me with their playing, but not many that do it with one note...Gilmour, Green...but who tops that list is Koss.
This is one of those tracks...where every note matters.

I still cant believe Paul was my age (20) when they recorded the 'Fire & water' album.
THAT note, in the Fire & water solo, need i go further?
He was a perfect example of the importance of HOW you play something, not the actual content of the licks (which were pretty tasty too!)
I hear his approach in Joe's playing a lot, Joe is the only person who ive heard thats managed to emulate the 'quivering-cry' of that fast Kossoff vibrato, its all in the wrist lads 
You look a lot like him, Frazer!
You look a lot like him, Frazer!
Ive been told that before (when i had my REALLY long hair) and it is just as flattering now, haha.
Its the half-beard that does it
RIP Paul Kossoff 19 March 1976 still the best guitarist ever
My all time favourite live musician. Lucky enough to see him several times. Sadly missed.
Yeah, still sadly missed and still criminally under-rated.
37 Years ago today. I heard it on Radio Luxembourg. My avatar is my tribute and the pride of my home (apart from my wife ).
