Klaus Voorman-- Part 1: Mr. Bass & the Beatles & Others

April 29, Bob Stroud's Rock and Roll Roots had a Roots Salute to Klaus Voorman, a man I had never heard of before, but really should have.  Today is his 76th birthday.

Wikipedia

German artist, musician and record producer.  Back in the early 1960s, he went into a bar club in Hamburg, Germany, and was pretty much blown away with the Beatles.  It is a relationship that continues to today.

He designed the album covers for the Beatles' "Revolver" and the first Bee Gees album.  Had the Beatles gotten back together without Paul McCartney, he would have played bass.  There was also a stint with the Manfred Mann band.

He has played bass with the Plastic Ono Band, John Lennon, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Leon Russell, Carly Simon, Peter Frampton and Nilsson.

So, it could have been John, George, Ringo and Klaus.
