Stevie Ray Vaughan
Vaughan was a central figure in the revival of the blues in the 1980s. David Bowie, who chose Vaughan to play guitar on his new album Lets Dance in the mid-’80s, recalled his lightning-fast fingerpicking. Vaughn was an immediate success, and opening acts included The Stray Cats and Eric Clapton. He died in a helicopter crash in 1990, at the age of 35. He is still remembered as a legendary guitar player.
