Stevie Ray Vaughan
Before Texas Flood was even released, Stevie Ray Vaughan's stinging guitar was all over the radio, on David Bowie's Let's Dance.
With his band Double Trouble he brought Texas blues roaring back, playing with a ferocious tone inspired by Albert King and Jimi Hendrix. Texas Flood, with 'Pride and Joy', and Couldn't Stand the Weather, with its take on Hendrix's 'Voodoo Child (Slight Return)', made him a crossover star.
His last studio album with Double Trouble, In Step, won a Grammy, and he died in a helicopter crash after a 1990 concert with Eric Clapton.
