25.07.2020 Der am 29. Oktober 1946 in Bethnal Green (England) als Peter Allen Greenbaum geborene britische Gitarrist, Sänger und Komponist Peter Green (Bild) ist am 25. Juli 2020 auf Canvey Island (Essex) gestorben. Er war zusammen mit Mick Fleetwood und Bob Brunning Gründer der Band Fleetwood Mac und prägte die Blues-, Rock- und Popszene der späten 1960er-Jahre. Green arbeitete u.a. mit John Mayall, Duster Bennett, Eddie Boyd, Paul Butterfield, B. B. King, Memphis Slim und Otis Spann zusammen. Greens Songs wurden häufig sehr erfolgreich gecovert (so z.B. "Black Magic Woman" durch Carlos Santana). 1995 widmete der Rock- und Bluesgitarrist Gary Moore seinem Vorbild Peter Green das Tributealbum "Blues for Greeny".
