Winwood was 14 when he started
Even tho everybody in the world has recorded this, I always think of it as an ABB tune (Filmore Live), written and recorded a long time ago by T Bone Walker. This is a pretty nice version.
Yeah, crazy. Winwood as 14 when he joined the Spencer Davis Group and co-wrote this:Alex Chilton - Wikipedia
A local band recruited the teenaged Chilton in 1966 to be their lead singer after learning of the popularity of his vocal performance at a talent show at Memphis's Central High School. This band was Ronnie and the Devilles, which was subsequently renamed the Box Tops. The group recorded with Chips Moman and producer/songwriter Dan Penn at American Sound Studio and Muscle Shoals's FAME Studios.
Chilton was 16 when his first professional recording, the Box Tops' song "The Letter", became a number-one international hit. The Box Tops went on to have several other major chart hits, including "Neon Rainbow" (1967), "Cry Like a Baby" (1968), "Choo Choo Train" (1968), "Sweet Cream Ladies, Forward March" (1969), and "Soul Deep" (1969)

Good cover of an old Buck Owens tune. The French family has moved to Nashville from Australia. Twelve year old Sonny French is the lead singer. They play traditional country music. Dad from Tasmania can play a mean guitar. That’s Mom in the middle, a Maori from New Zealand.

he was about the only one I knew of.
Yeah...I did a little digging after I made my post. I saw where Gretsch made their first 12-string electric for Nesmith and then made one for Harrison later. I recall Harrison mostly playing Gibsons or his favorite--a Strat named Rocky. He played a bunch of different ones for sure. Of course Brian Setzer seemed to always be seen using one. As far as Townsend, I know he used a Gretsch some but I mostly recall him with a Les Paul or a Strat. Of course he went through a ton--he destroyed so many on stage. I read he demolished 37 in one year alone.Pete Townsend, George Harrison and Brian Jones were a couple of other dudes.
