Savoy Brown - Poor Girl

Savoy Brown - Poor Girl

[@garyluedke2603]

I had just watched a live show with Kim and Savoy Brown. during the breaks i came up to the stage in this Chicago suburb club and asked Kim about his amps and guitars and stuff and mentioned i'm in a small local band. Kim was very humble and supportive and we talked about music. At closing time, i got a T-shirt and got Kim to sign the back. I said too bad its closing time i really liked the music. So to my surprise Kim says "it ain't closin time for me how about we go have a pint"?? I was amazed. So we head back to the bar and had a few beers and talked blues and guitars and music for some time. I am truly blessed to have had that experience with a LEGEND like Kim. I hope you read this Kim... it was a evening i will always remember! THANKS KIM!!

Kim and his flying V asume

[@thomasvee329]

I, too met him; in a bar in Jacksonville, NC. When I walked into the back room, he was alone, warming up with his Flying V and a Fender "Champ Amp"! I couldn't believe it; I had that same amp! I still have the picture we took together. Your post is typical of Kim...a very likable, approachable, non-status guy. Glad you had that experience, and hope you still have the T-shirt! (:

RIP Kim Simmonds Truly, one of the greatest guitar players over the last 50 years.

[@loveybells77]

Love this band. They were really never recoginzed for there talent. You guys rock

[@Cap683]

“Looking In” was my first exposure to Savoy Brown. Kim Simmons, Roger Earl, Toni Stevens, and Lonesome Dave. What a line up.

[@vicprovost2561]

Me too, loved that album!

[@MarieProvost77]

Mine was the very first album, "Shake Down," which my military dad brought me from the UK around the time it came out. I continue to love everything SB did, through the Lonesome Dave years. Simmonds had one of the best tones & attacks in any form of rock, IMO. Brilliant player.

[@Lorennickloff]

Met Kim and was fortunate to see him play many times since the 60's. He only got better with age. We Love You Kim ! 🙏 R.I.P. 🙏

I've followed them since the late 60's, 70's, 80's...days of Chris Youldon. Have met Kim Simmonds 3 times and have one of his picks. This band rocks like earlier times and is really tight! One of the best guitarists ever.

[@FolkatKaatClove]

At 75, Kim and any version of Savoy Brown go straight to the roots of my heart and memory. Loved his shows and always hoped to see him again and thought it might happen in the Spring of 2023. Then came December of 2022. Still hard to accept his loss. RIP, sir. This is a great video. Thank you.

[@richardtaylor8595]

Savoy Brown is the best band ever that only a few of us true music lovers knew about I think I have every lp they put out. I saw Foghat at a local bar and I was inches from Kim trying to hold people back. It was awesome.

[@pawelpap9]

Not quite. They were very popular back in the day. Maybe you have contemporary youth in mind.

[@TO-MASZ-A-CO-DASZ]

AGREE 100%, SINCE I GOT THEIR MY FIRST VINYL ALBUM, NOT SURE, WHICH ONE WAS IT: "THE SAVOY BROWN BOOGIE", "LOOKING IN", IT COULD BE??? BUT! WHAT A PLAYER HE WAS. WHO DOES NOT HERD THIS BAND, I FEEL SORY! IT IS A MUST FOR EVERY BLUES FAN AND NOT ONLY! SO, DON`T WAIST YOUR TIME, NON-SAVOY BROWN MUSIC LOVERS! EARLY STUFF I MUST SAY! READ THE COMMENTS. CLASSIC, BIG TIME! STILL LISTENING TO THEIR TUNES, STILL FASCINATING WITH BAND`S MUSIC. JOIN US ALL! MASTERS! REGARDS, THOMAS(POLAND-CHICAGO)

Savoy Brown is a legitimate representative of the English blues. Since the sixties taking the best of black blues with white soul.

[@jimyin4837]

So as was the rest of the British Invasion bringing their brand of the blues and rock to NA . And to acknowledge jimi Hendrix, even had their “white version” in Robin trower ;who’s still touring in his mid-seventies!! Ya been a savoy browner since ,again the mid-seventies!!! Be safe .. god bless ... stay tuned .... peace out

[@roadrocket7]

I'm lucky I have the live CD of this gig and this band. Found it by accident at a local used record shop here in Nashville. The disc was even signed by Kim! I listen to it just about every day. Unbelieveable jams. Got all the classic tunes too. Kim is the MAN. This was one of Kim's best groups. So tight. These guys just jell on every tune.

[@universe1831]

Which is the name of the Jam? Which date?

[@roadrocket7]

@@universe1831 The name of the live CD is "You Should Have Been There", on Panache Records/CD #1251. The version you are hearing on this clip is slightly different than the version on the CD. This CD is from the same tour, I'm sure. Same guys in the band. I've seen this CD for sale on Ebay, so good luck in your search. The whole CD is recorded so good and it's well-balanced in that your hear ALL the guys in the band, especially Kim.

Albums like Looking In and jams like this are the perfect rationale for a way back machine. SMOKIN blues-rock! I was 14 when I bought it and have owned it in every format: 1) cassette; 2) LP; 3) CD. STILL own the original cassette from 1970.

Not very many True Living Masters of RnR Blues Guitarists. IMHO Kim is a Living Legend & one of the finest ever to play. Has a subtle jazzy side he shows occasionally.

Way past his dues paying time Kim has outlasted some of the best in the rock world . Haven't lost a thing & continues to amaze us with those endless phrases he's so well known for. Saw him a few times with this line up & sadly never got to see him with the early days of Savoy Brown. A funny & one incredible talented musician . I'm sure his original Flying V is at home safe & sound & it matters not what guitar he plays on it always comes out pure Kim Simmons & that great Savoy Brown feel. Rock on Kim you made our musical generation all the better ..

Well, you still look great -- maybe not 15 but a 25 year old. :) I only stumbled on them recently and found a whole treasure chest of songs.. I''m a 47 year old guy, a little young so I missed them in the 80's growing up and would probably never had heard of them if it were not for KZbin opening up the doors to allow me to expand my musical knowledge. This song has a golden second half.......just brilliant.

I agree, sheer guitar mastery at the hands of the mind that is Kim Simmons. Savoy Brown is one of the best bands of the early 70's Kim always plays leaning in that same modal scale which I think is a form of some minor scale. Anyone know for sure?
