Friday Music

The British rock band - The Yardbirds - formed in London in 1963. The band's core lineup featured vocalist and harmonica player Keith Relf, drummer Jim McCarty, rhythm guitarist/bassist Chris Dreja and Paul Samwell-Smith on bass. They worked with a number of lead guitarists – and launched the careers of Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck - all of whom ranked in the top five of Rolling Stone magazine's list of 100 greatest guitarists. 

1965 Heart Full of Soul was the Yardbirds' first single after Jeff Beck replaced Eric Clapton as lead guitarist.  The song reached the top ten on the charts in both the UK and the US.
