JB SS SW JH JM Wait! That's 6 - so I guess I should add: the Beatles and the Stones (tho he'd deny it, now!), Curtis and Al Green. "We've never been able to pull off a funk number"
"That's becuase we're soulless auttomatons" | |

Joni Stevie James Jimi Sly honorable mention Santana Larry Graham Chaka Khan Miles Davis The Beatles Led Zepplin Jackie Wilson Billy Eckstein Duke Ellington Little Richard and some others Uh, I thought we were to only name the 5 "decisive". This list is accurate, but then again, this could easily be a list for most influencial artists ever... "New Power slide...." |

Carlos Santana Jimi Hendrix Larry Graham Joni Mitchell If you're talking about from the very beginning of his career,I'd put Sly Stone in place of Larry. Otherwise, perfect list. Post stardom, Larry and George Clinton are right up there too. | |

Carlos Santana His Dad Wendy Melvoin Lisa Coleman I can't believe it took this long for someone to mention his dad. What about his jazz singing mother? Wendy came around way past his formative influences were already in place. Lisa is an interesting idea but I think they just had a musical bonding more than a specific influence. James Brown and Joni cannot be left off the list. P is such a musical sponge it is almost impossible to keep the list at 5. What about his new wave (Dirty Mind era Gang of Four), disco/Funk (Ohio Players, Rick James, George C) and jazz fusion (Weather Report) influences? | |
