Alan Spenner (1948-1991)
Whenever I hear Alan Spenner play I think to myself, “Where did a skinny English white boy like you learn to play bass so tough?”
This guy played everywhere with everyone, but it always sounded like Alan Spenner. I heard he was the first white guy to get an offer from Motown to be a session musician.
Woodstock, Jesus Christ Superstar, the Muppet Show house band, and Roxy Music - he was like Zelig, he showed up everywhere.
