A Son of the Rock

I saw in Tuesday’s Guardian that Zoot Money has died.  He was one of the most celebrated performers of Rhythm and Blues in the early to mid 60s and a staple of the music press at the time.

His band had only the one real hit, though, Big Time Operator, which I featured here.

This is Zoot and his band playing what was in effect his signature tune

Zoot Money’s Big Roll Band: Barefootin’

George Bruno (Zoot) Money: 17/7 1942 – 8/10/2024. So it goes.
