One of only two white performers to perform on Soul Train
The third photo cracked me up. With all the adoring crowd, still down in front are the suits(Tony DeFries, his manager at the time, on the right?)apparently cutting a deal of some sort.
Flour Power!
in 1964, The Beatles closed their Autumn Tour of the UK with two concerts at Bristol's Colston Hall - and were flour-bombed by four students named Sue, Roger, Richard, and Bob perched on the rafters above the stage.

Lonnie Mack: “Stevie was a giver, he wasn’t a taker. I’ve never met anybody to this day that has ever had anything bad to say about him; it’s always good and positive. Playing live shows or making records with Stevie was always a great experience because he pulled things out of you. You would find yourself reaching for things that you never thought about doing because his influence was always rubbing off on you. I think everybody that ever met him probably felt that because he definitively brought the best out in everyone. I also think that Stevie has probably influenced more young guitar players than anybody on the planet since Chuck Berry to keep rock and blues alive. I’m sure proud to say that we were friends and brothers. I’ll always remember that, and I think he was the greatest.”

Gregg Allman “I remember when he first came out, he was doing that Hendrix song and I heard all these people going, "Ah, he's just trying to do Hendrix. But he went a lot further than that, he was absolutely 100-proof, pure blues. Albert Collins, Muddy Waters - the essence of that was in everything he played. More than the Allman Brothers, he was straight-down-the-line blues. Stevie was always playing. After he'd get offstage, he'd get on his bus, and he had all these Stratocasters hanging there, he'd grab one and start goin'.”
