๐ŸŽผ12 April 1944. Happy Birthday ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿพ to John Kay (born Joachim Fritz Krauledat in Prussia, East Germany), singer, guitarist and frontman for late 60s and early 70s American rock band Steppenwolf.
#Steppenwolf are worldwide famous just for 1 song everyone knows: Born To Be Wild ๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿ˜ˆ which was anthem and landmark for the entire "rock hippie rebel" #Woodstock generation of the late 60s, perfectly pictured and sublimated by #EasyRider movie, for which this song was the soundtrack!
A couple of years ago (or in the previous life as you prefer ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ) it was my pleasure to host here in Venice ๐Ÿ˜ณ former Steppenwolf Tour Manager, and it was great to hear from him some... "nice stories" ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ”
For John Kay's 76th Birthday ๐ŸŽ‚ I chose a less famous Steppenwolf song written by him ("Born to Be Wild" is in fact not penned by Steppenwolf): Magic Carpet Ride which was later covered by many rock bands ๐ŸŽธ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป
In the Chat Room๐Ÿ‘‡I also post a cover by Michael Monroe & Slash, as always if you have any other Steppenwolf song you like... just post it ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
