Comments

In 2009, Klaus Voormann released his debut solo album ‘A Sideman’s Journey’, which featured many notable musicians, including Paul McCatney & Ringo Starr.

He is undoubtedly a much cherished friend within The Beatles inner circle. A Grammy Award winning artist, and much vaunted bass guitarist who has contributed to a multitude of sessions involving major acts, Voormann’s association with the group dates back to their time in Hamburg in the early 1960s.

It is his rumbling raked bass riff that adorns the vamped Am chord which opens Carly Simon’s classic hit “You’re so vain”. Two years earlier, his innovative use of bass octaves would embellish Lennon’s beautiful ballad “Hold on” from the first Plastic Ono Band album.

In the late 60’s he enjoyed chart success with Manfred Mann, before contributing to many of The Beatles solo albums.

In 2011, his life would be recounted in the excellent documentary “All You Need Is Klaus”, which offered a behind-the-scenes look at the rock and roll world of the German born artist.
