If Reggie had done nothing but play on those Dobie Gray sessions, he would still be great.

Thanks for the info and Happy Birthday to a legend.

Session musicians talent is very fascinating to me. Love Reggie performing some of his riffs.

one of my favorite Elvis Albums is The Memphis Sessions where you can Reggie Young working out the Suspicious Minds riff. Legendary.

Sounds like a wonderful night! Reggie Young is sch an amazing musician. If all he ever did was just the solo on "That's The Way Love Goes", that'd be enough alone to make him one of the all-time greats! But of course he did so much more

Great to read this. My first intro to Reggie was credits on back of Wilson Pickett LPs
then a bit later on Herbie Mann's "Memphis Underground".
