Stevie Ray Vaughan
In the rebirth of the blues in the ’80s, Vaughan was highly influential. In the mid-’80s, David Bowie, who selected Vaughan to play guitar on his newest album Lets Dance, remembered his lightning-fast fingerpicking. Vaughn was an instant hit, and bands like The Stray Cats and Eric Clapton toured the world opening. Sadly, at the age of 35, in 1990, he died in a helicopter accident. Still, as a legendary guitar player, he is widely remembered.
