663 One Bad Dude!

Paul Vaughn Butterfield, born December 17, 1942, was an American blues harmonica player, singer and band leader.  He explored the blues scene in his native Chicago, where he met Muddy Waters and other blues greats, who provided encouragement and opportunities for him to join in jam sessions.
 He formed the Paul Butterfield Blues Band in 1963 and had several successful blues albums. They band played  Monterrey Pop, Woodstock, the Fillmore West and East with a fusion of electric Chicago blues with a rock urgency and pioneered a jazz fusion until the bands breaking up in 1971.  He then formed Butterfield's Better Days, playing with Muddy Waters, and with members of the Band. A great harp went silent when Paul Butterfield died on May 4, 1987, of an accidental overdose.
