Caleb Quaye (born 9 October 1948), is an English Afro-European rock guitarist and studio musician best known for his work in the 1960s and 1970s with Elton John, Mick Jagger, Pete Townshend, Paul McCartney and Hall & Oates. He is the son of Cab Kaye, younger brother of Terri Quaye, and older half-brother of Finley Quaye. ==Early career== Quaye was a member of local band The Sound Castles while at school.〔 Quaye spent several years as a member of Long John Baldry's backing band, Bluesology, which also featured a keyboard player named Reg Dwight, who would soon become known as Elton John. When Bluesology disbanded in 1967, Quaye released a single under the name Caleb called "Baby Your Phrasing is Bad" b/w "Woman of Distinction" (1967, Philips Records). In 1969 he served as guitarist for the one-off "flower power" pop band Argosy (which also included Dwight, Roger Hodgson, and Nigel Olsson) on their single, "Mr. Boyd" b/w "Imagine".〔Joynson, Vernon (1995).

See entry on "Argosy".〕 Starting in 1969, Quaye played guitar supporting Elton John at live concerts around the local London area, with what eventually became the nucleus of Hookfoot for sporadic shows. The live support work continued until Elton formed his original touring band in the spring of 1970, the trio featuring Dee Murray and Nigel Olsson. In April 1970, Quaye formed the band Hookfoot with Ian Duck, Roger Pope and David Glover,〔 all of whom were DJM Records house musicians and had backed Elton's earliest live performances. The group's self-titled debut album was a mix of rock and jazz and included songs by Quaye and Duck, in addition to Stephen Stills and Neil Young covers. Quaye played guitar and keyboards on this album. The group's follow up record ''Good Times a-Comin' '' was a more straight-ahead rock album. A third album was ''Communication'' and the last album titled ''Roarin' ''. A live album called ''Hookfoot Live in Memphis'', recorded in 1973 was released later. The group disbanded in 1974 and Quaye stayed in the United States to work as a session musician. He is credited as a guitarist on Bill Quateman's 1973 debut album, "Bill Quateman" and toured with Quateman in support of the album. Quaye played guitar, bass and percussion on "Forever's No Time at All", which opened ''I Am'', a 1972 album dedicated to Meher Baba also featuring Pete Townshend. Later that year, the song appeared on Townshend's solo debut ''Who Came First''. Quaye played guitar on the original demos for Joan Armatrading's debut album ''Whatever's for Us'', which was released in November 1972. The demos were recorded by Gus Dudgeon at Marquee Studios, London. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Caleb Quaye」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
