Big Tabs
looking backwards, going forwards
No you're not wrong.
He was what they called at the time a studio musician and did back some well known singers including Elvis, The Beach Boys, Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, The Everly Brothers and even The Monkees and loads of others.
He also played the bass guitar, mandolin and the banjo.
He toured with The Beach Boys taking over from Brian Wilson singing backing vocals and playing bass for four months.
He became friends with Elvis during the recording of Viva Las Vagas.
All in all quite a talented guy.
Although he's not really my cup of tea I do like his version of By the Time I Get to Phoenix.

yer,
I have listened to quite a few of his albums as they get donated frequently for Headway charity, I appreciate the talent, but there are only a couple of tunes that grab me.
