George "Buddy" Guy (born July 30, 1936) is an American blues guitarist and singer. He is an exponent of Chicago blues and has influenced guitarists including Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Keith Richards, Jeff Beck, John Mayer and Stevie Ray Vaughan. In the 1960s, Guy played with Muddy Waters as a house guitarist at Chess Records and began a musical partnership with harmonica player Junior Wells.
Guy was ranked 30th in Rolling Stone magazine's 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time] His song "Stone Crazy" was ranked 78th in Rolling Stone's list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Songs of All Time.Clapton once described him as "the best guitar player alive".
Mustang Sally" is an R&B song written and first recorded by Mack Rice in 1965. It gained greater popularity when Wilson Pickett covered it the following year on a single, a version was also released on his 1966 album, The Wicked Pickett. Also in 1966, John Lee Hooker recorded an entirely different song with a similar title - "Mustang Sally & GTO".
According to music historian Tom Shannon the song started as a joke when singer Della Reese wanted a new Ford Mustang. Rice called the early version "Mustang Mama" but changed the title after Aretha Franklin suggested "Mustang Sally".
On The Rascals Anthology booklet, Felix Cavaliere claims the Young Rascals actually recorded "Mustang Sally" and "Land of 1000 Dances" before Pickett. He says Atlantic Records "copped those two songs from them and gave them to Pickett" to record.
Rice's version made it to
#15 on the U.S. R&B charts in 1965. Pickett's version climbed to
#6 on the R&B charts and
#23 on the Pop charts in 1966,
#4 in Canada on the (RPM) charts, and
#28 in the UK Singles Chart on its original release and
#62, when it was re-released in 1987.
In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked Wilson Pickett's recording of the song at
#434 on a list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. The song dropped seven spots to
#441, when the magazine published its 2010 update of the list.
