John Mayall OBE  (born November 29, 1933) is a pioneering English blues singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist. His musical career spans over fifty years but the most notable episode in it occurred during the late '60s. He was the founder of John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers and has been influential in the careers of many instrumentalists, including Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce, Peter Green, John McVie, Mick Fleetwood, Mick Taylor, Don Harris, Harvey Mandel, Larry Taylor, Aynsley Dunbar, Jon Hiseman, Dick Heckstall-Smith, Andy Fraser, Walter Trout, Coco Montoya, Johnny Almond, and Jon Mark.

In November 1970 Mayall launched an recording project involving most of the notable musicians with whom he had played during the last few years. The double album "Back to the roots" features Clapton, M. Taylor, Mandel and McGee on guitar, Thompson and L. Taylor on bass, Keef Heartley and Paul Lagos on drums. "Back to the roots" did not promote new names and "USA Union" and "Memories" were recorded with American musicians: Mayall had exhausted his catalytic role on the British blues-rock scene. The list of musicians who had benefited from association with him remains impressive.
