Fuzz...

Hello,
I read a piece at Pioneers of fuzz: 13 guitarists who defined the fuzz pedal | MusicRadar regarding the pioneers of fuzz. They got a lot right like The Rolling Stones' "Satisfaction" However, I found the following missing:

The Dramatics' "What You See Is What You Get" is an early adoption of the fuzz box in R&B/Soul. And, there's more.

The Chi-Lites "Have You Seen Her?" is right in there with The Dramatics.

Again, speaking of more R&B they should have included the solo in "Easy" by Lionel Ritchie and The Commodores.

Finally, how could they leave out Norman Greenbaum and "Spirit In The Sky?"

I love fuzz and Hammond organs.

What say you?

You listed some really good and usually overlooked examples of fuzz in the R&B genre.:thumbsup:
