music quiz redux

I thought it was a strawberry flavoured yoghurt. And I may possibly have purchased a few of these records.

Has the question got to do with lyrics?

 

[urinal]

Here's a clue. One musician played on all of these songs. But I want to know which one.

 

[STURTZ]

Is it something to do with John Peel, (used to be a friend of Marc Bolan and did appear as a spurious musician on occasions)

Or Elton John who was a session musician for many years?

 

[urinal]

Nothing to do with John Peel or Elton John. The musician in question also played with The Kinks.

 

[STURTZ]

Dave Davies

 

[Grecian_In_Exile]

Is it Rick Wakeman?

 

[urinal]

Nope. The person in question also has a link to Deep Purple, The Jimi Hendrix Experience and almost joined Led Zeppelin.

 

[urinal]

Is it something to do with John Peel, (used to be a friend of Marc Bolan and did appear as a spurious musician on occasions)

Or Elton John who was a session musician for many years?

I'll take part of that back. In his very early days as a journalist, John Peel interviewed one of this musician's employers.

 

[iscalad]

Was it a guitarist by any chance? Was going to guess Jimmy Page, but you just blew that out of the water.

 

[urinal]

Now you're on the right track.

Another clue. He was a member of the group that had the first US number one by a British band.
