Rock Legend Jeff Beck Biography

back

Jeff Beck is the very essence of the contemporary guitarist.  He has, time and time again, shown that he does what he wants despite what the commercial world tries to impose on him.

Jeff Beck was born in Wallingtom, Surrey, England on June 24, 1944.  He was a former choir boy, and by the age or 11, was also an accomplished pianist and guitarist.

In 1965, while an Art student, Beck joined the YardBirds, Britain's premier Blues band.  Replacing Eric Clapton Beck made the band into one of the most original rock bands of the mid-sixties.

The chemistry of the band changed in 1966, when Jimmy Page was added, and Beck left while they were touring America.

Beck started a solo career that would last over over 30 years.  He signed with Mickey Most on his RAK Label, where he cut several singles.  One of which Hi Ho Silver Lining, seemed to prove that his vocal skills were lacking in comparison to his guitar work.  So, in 1968, he formed the Jeff Beck Group with Rod Stewart on vocals,  Ronnie Wood on Bass, Nicky Hopkins on piano, and Mickey

The Jeff Beck Group seemed to be the only competition for the newly formed Led Zeppelin (the new band formed from the YardBirds).  But, Beck's unpredictable behavior lessened the success of the band and prevented them from reaching the audience they truly deserved.  Stewart and Wood left the band, and joined the ex-members of Small Faces; becoming Faces.  They went on to be one of the greatest live bands of the 70's.  In 1969, however, Beck sustained injuries in a car accident.  He was hospitalized, and it took him 18 months to recuperate.

Beck devoted much of the next decade to session work and jazz rock fusion. But in 1973 he formed the trio Beck, Bogert, and Appice, former members of Vanilla Fudge.  Some of his session contributions included work with such artists as:  Stevie Wonder, the Beatles, and Charles Mingus.  He continued as a "hired hand" through much of the 80's as well, working with Buddy Guy, Mick Jagger,  Kate Bush,  Tina Turner, Robert Plant, and Jimmy Page to name a few.
