The legendary Curtis Montgomery is born on February 7, 1934. He was a bandleader, band member, and session musician, and also a musical director and record producer. You can hear his riffs across the spectrum of R&B and rock — from Aretha’s “Respect” to Jimi Hendrix and Duane Allman.
Listen to his “Live at The Fillmore West” album … that’s all you need.
