Session bassist Leland Sklar is 71 years old today!
I'm not sure Sklar is all that well known outside music circles, but he's a bona fide bass icon, and has played on over 2,500 albums. Including music by Phil Collins, Billy Cobham, Rod Stewart, Linda Ronstadt, James Taylor, Hall & Oates, Jackson Browne, Tommy Bolin, David Bowie, Ray Charles, B.B. King, The Doors, Peter Frampton, Aaron Neville, Lyle Lovett and countless others. Here's some stories behind some of the songs: LINK.
I've never seen Leland Sklar in person, but I own a ton of music he's played on.
He even shows up on some youtubes:
Mockingbird
Sussudio
Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow
